History ComicBook / MajorGrom

* RenaissanceMan: Igor Grom excels at nearly everything he puts his hand to. He graduated at the head of his class (both in academics and at the Academy of the Ministry of the Interior), is a crime scene analyst, a chess champion, and a master of multiple fighting and self defense techniques, including karate, boxing, kickboxing, sambo, wrestling, and judo (having participated in competitions for all of the above, and won many of them). Note that he began mastering all of these skills when he was a ''child''.
** Sergey Razumovsky is a tech guru, businessman, entrepreneur (he singlehandedly designed the Vmeste social media network and founded the company in his early 20s -- making him the world's youngest billionaire), amateur historian, and a well-known philanthropist. He's also a criminal mastermind, with an extensive knowledge of art, world history, chemistry, explosives, engineering, computer hacking, and various forms of human torture and execution, as well as being a decent marksman -- and deadly skilled with a knife to boot.
** To a lesser degree, Oleg Volkov also qualifies: a former soldier (and current mercenary and bodyguard), he is an expert tracker, spy, and weapons master, and highly proficient in fire team tactics, urban survival (including parkour), and just about every form of hand-to-hand combat imaginable. He can operate nearly any vehicle, possesses minor first aid and engineering skills, and is knowledgeable about economics (having studied the subject in college before joining the military). He's also an excellent chef, with superb cooking and baking skills (which he is always looking to expand).

* ABirthdayNotABreak: In "The Game", Razumovsky initiates his plan of revenge on Igor Grom's birthday by having his team of mercenaries infiltrate Igor's birthday party, leave a burner phone for Igor, and take stock of the guests (with plans to abduct them later).

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: This is Igor's general mindset when it comes to law enforcement. (However, he draws the line at killing people.)

** In "Saint Patrick's Day", he's strung up and tortured by an IRA member; he escapes, only to be arrested under false charges and beaten by DirtyCop (who is secretly an IRA member himself); once he gets out of that predicament, he gets tied up, interrogated, ''and'' beaten unconscious by an [=MI6=] agent. Yeesh.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Major Grom was, up until "The Game", firmly grounded in the mundane -- which makes the few situations that seem otherwise that much more notable (and debatable).
** "Plague Doctor": Was Igor's nightmare about Black Bird causing the Great London Fire just a dream, or was it an actual [[DreamingOfTimesGoneBy supernatural vision]]? The dream does reveal the existence (and appearance) of Black Bird before he actually appears in the comics, and accurately predicts Sergey's plans for the city [[note]]albeit not in full[[/note]] However, Grom is a skilled detective, and he knew that the Plague Doctor is an expert on the Middle Ages who wears a corvid-esque mask, and that his most recent target was the '''London''' Mall; it's possible that the dream was just his mind's attempt to sort out the facts.

** Sergey Razumovsky's surname is derived from ''razum'', the word for "mind"; this is an appropriate name for a genius and a criminal mastermind -- and an ironic one for a man who ''loses''his mind.
