Iron Wolf

Iron Wolf is one of the youngest and keenest European superheroes. Born and raised in Vilnius, the old capital of Lithuania, Mykolas Karalius was a thinking patriot, and a firm believer in Lithuanian sovereignty. Though he isn’t old enough to remember the Soviet Union, he remembers the chaos and anarchy after it fell. As a teenager he never looked for trouble, but was sometimes grabbed and beaten by the police when they couldn’t catch the thugs and hooligans who were causing trouble in the area.
When he was 17, he was nearly killed trying to defend an old man assaulted by other teenagers. Luckily for him, the old man was a vaidila—a pagan priest. He helped the boy recover in return for helping him and summoned the spirits of the medieval kings of Lithuania to grant Mykolas the powers of these rulers. Now, he possesses the might of Mindaugas, the courage of Gediminas, the ferocity of Traidenis, the cunning of Jogailo, and the tactical genius of Sobieskis.
Iron Wolf is proudly patriotic, rejecting blind nationalism and internationalism. He sees patriotism as a source of solace and hope in hard times, rather than a cause of wars and conflicts, and claims to stand for every Lithuanian, whether Polish, Russian, German, or Jewish.
