History
Red Ronin is the alter ego of Yuri Alomar, a wealthy young man who is driven to fight crime after his parents; Eric and Mila Alomar are viciously murdered by anti-mutant activists. He turned his father's investments into a thriving corporation. He then uses his wealth to purchase an armored costume and an arsenal of weapons that he would use to fight those who preyed on mutants. Alomar named his costumed identity Red Ronin, as a nod to the costume and to his Russian mother.
Early Career
After receiving the training and eqquipment needed, Yuri returned to Philadelphia to learn that his parents' murder had never been solved. An investigation was never pended because the criminals were average junkies, looking for money. Yuri knew the truth and he wanted to make sure everyone else did to. As Red Ronin, he broke into the local police station and had a meeting with the Commissioner, to discuss the matter of the murder. The man seemed to understand, but was terrified at what Ronin might do. When he tried to call for back-up, Ronin had left, determined to do the Commissioner's job the right way. Ronin scaled rooftops and stalked the alley where his parents died, hoping to find the junkies still there.
A couple walked through and were immediately mugged by a couple of homeless men. Ronin leapt from the roof to save them.
