Is this the Winter Guard


Seems like this is a version of the Winter Guard from Marvel? Is this a licensed story, a ripoff or a completely "new" idea that just happens to look a lot like characters and storylines from a previously release story?

I was wondering the same thing, I mean, is that not exactly the character from Winter Guard - Ursa Major??? Im cool with it regardless because this movie looks legit but I swear it might as well be called the Winter Guard haha

This is pure rip off and not only Winter Guard but rip off from F4.

Well in all fairness Marvel and DC have been ripping each other off for ages. Deadpool is based on deathstroke, thanos is based on darkseid, imperiex is based on galactus, bumblebee is based on wasp, aquaman is based on namor and so on and so forth.

At least here we have a Russian theme, so that should be fun.

Yeah, and where's Crimson Dynamo?

Probably more inspired by the Winter Guard. Ursa is the only similarity. I imagine Winter Guard being one of the few Russian teams around it probably has a large influence in the area.

Interestingly, the Wikipedia page for Marvel's Winter Guard states

There is a movie currently in development to be released in 2017

No source is shown though.
