Biography
Boris Bullski
He came to be transferred to a Communist work camp in barren Siberia to serve as the sites new Commissar. However, Bullski resented his assignment and sought to achieve a victory that would see his superiors transfer him. He concluded that the only way to do so was to defeat the armored American superhero known as Iron Man. To aid him, Boris determined he needed his own suit of powerful armour in order to defeat his foe. Thus, he decided to turn to the scientific minds in the camp where he offered them freedom if they constructed him an armour constructed from titanium. The scientists agreed and they were provided the laboratory of the Crimson Dynamo where they sought to create a superior suit for Bullski. Once built, he took on the identity of the Titanium Man and made a public challenge to Iron Man to fight him on neutral grounds with this being made to newspapers to force his foes arrival. (Tales of Suspense v1 #69)

From the minds of captive scientists, he had a suit of armour designed for him made of titanium with the goal of making it superior than the Crimson Dynamo armour for use against Iron Man. The scientists lacked the knowledge of miniature transistors which meant that they could not make a compact armour with Boris being content with this as he was content to use his powerful body to manage a larger heavier suit. Power-assisted controls within the armour provided him a greater ease of movement. It was also equipped with a disintegrator ray as its most powerful weapon. (Tales of Suspense v1 #69)
