The Titanic Three is a fictional team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The team consisted of 3 supervillains: Titanium Man, Radioactive Man and Crimson Dynamo. While the Radioactive Man was a Chinese super-villain, the other members of the team were from the Soviet Union. Thus the team was one of the several reflections of the Cold War in the Marvel Universe.

Fictional team history

Acting as free-agent crime fighters in Vietnam, the trio were duped by a con man and petty thief called the Slasher. They battled four Avengers: Thor, Iron Man, the Vision, and Hawkeye. Once the deception was revealed, the battle ended. After a humiliating defeat by Kang the Conqueror, the group finally disbanded when the Crimson Dynamo decided to leave to fight Iron Man.
