Devastator is a name used by three fictional characters appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics.
The first Devastator wasSoviet officer, spy, and saboteur Kirov Petrovna, who worepowered armor designed by theGremlin. He battles theHulk, who had allegedly killed his father theGargoyle, and is killed when his suit overloads.[1]
The second Devastator was another Soviet officer, using a version of the Devastator suit re-built by Soviet scientists using the Gremlin's notes. He was sent by the Soviet government along with his Soviet Super-Troopers to Khystym to execute the Gremlin before being defeated by him and twoSpaceknights (Rom andStarshine).[2][3]
InAvengers World, a third, unnamed Devastator appears as a member of S.P.E.A.R.'s Ascendants.[4]
The Devastator power armor was designed by theGremlin. This full body armor is equipped with electronic devices which absorb microwave energy and can convert it for use as blasts of heat or concussive force. Its solar powered boot jets enable the wearer to fly at just under Mach 1, with range limited only by available light plus a three-hour battery reserve. The gauntlets contain microwave projectors that generate devastating force blasts. Because the battle-suit draws power frommicrowave energy beamed down from asatellite located ingeosynchronous orbit, the suit's wearer must maintain a line-of-sight position relative to the satellite to avoid sudden power cut-off. The satellite itself was protected byECMs which rendered it invisible to conventional modes of detection.
The second Devastator also possesses extensive hand-to-hand combat training, while the original possessed limited hand-to-hand combat training.
