Tomorrow’s Harley Quinn<\/a> #66 goes on a bit of a deep dive for the Batbooks Bad Seeds crossover as an old Batman character arrives to take the million-dollar bounty offered by Gotham Police Commissioner Vandal Savage on Batman. And it’s NKVDemon. Or at least one of him.<\/p>\n

NKVDemon is the legacy name of three Russian assassins after the NKVD, Soviet secret police that preceded the KGB. Created by Marv Wolfman and Jim Aparo in Batman #445 back in 1990, he was Gregor Dosynski, a fanatical communist and agent trained by The KGBeast. Initially, he targeted pro-Glasnost Soviet officials whom he viewed as traitors to the USSR. Batman prevented him from assassinating President Mikhail Gorbachev. He was then gunned down by the Moscow police, who exploded his own grenades, killing him.<\/p>\n

A NKVDemon appeared in Aquaman in 1992 as a hired assassin against Aquaman. Defeated by Aquaman and Batman, then killed in prison.<\/p>\n

A third NKVDemon was a mercenary\/bodyguard who worked for Ulysses Hadrian. clashed with Robin and Nightwing and was killed during the War Games event in 2005. But nothing for over twenty years after that, possibly as no one knows what the NKVD was these days.<\/p>\n

So three NKVDemon, all dead, so who on earth is this? So if this is the original NKVDemon, trained by the KGBeast, not only is he a) alive b) looking fine but c) he doesn’t appear to be a fundamental communist any more\u2026 Added: I’m going to say this now, she’s not in it, especially not like this, a lot. Instead, it’s an ensemble piece, with everyone in it.<\/p>\n
