History:

(X Lives of Wolverine I#2 - BTS) - At an unrevealed point in the past Maxim Ivanov became the head of the Moscow Hellfire Club.

(X Lives of Wolverine I#2 - BTS) - Looking to extract Maxim Ivanov for interrogation, Krakoa's X-Force learned he'd reserved the Moscow Bathhouse for himself and managed to bribe a janitor to sneak in a Krakoan seed to grow a Krakoan gate inside the building. Not long after, three of Krakoa's X-Force operatives; Domino, Omega Red and Wolverine infiltrated the Club in search of Ivanov. But when it appeared Ivanov wasn't present X-Force quickly retreated.

Comments: Created by Benjamin Percy.

As of yet nothing has been revealed about Ivanov's history or person, as such we don't know if he's human or mutant. It's been unrevealed if Ivanov was Moscow's Black King as different branches to the Hellfire Club use a variation in color for the court. For instance, the London and Hong Kong Branches have a Black and Red court, while the New York Branch adheres to the standard Black and White court.

The different branches are as followed: London, New York, Paris, Philadelphia, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
