Soviet Super Soldiers have their own Brave and the Bold 54, which is under the radar: Darkstar, Vanguard (1st app.) and Crimson Dynamo (IIRC; only the other 2 are on the cover) take on Iron Man on the moon in Iron Man #109; much earlier book.

Yes - and has a sweet Byrne/Austin cover too!

I think there are 12 ppl who take up the mantle of Crimson Dynamo, it’s always best to have the original SA one

 it's funny but true, but a reason I like to know, is whether to buy to keep a copy before it's too late. If something is on its way to the stratosphere, I want the knowledge to know if for my collecting I need to get a copy before it is too late ha. There are several "keys" out there, that I'm not interested in and don't follow the market. But with my reading and interests, I use these heating up thread to prioritize books that I want or need, for sure

Today I think that ANY book featuring a first appearance has the potential to significantly increase in value

Is this the 'black box' UPC variant? Peak period Byrne/Austin.

Hulk 258 has 1st Ursa Major, who David Harbour just teased as appearing in the movie (probably not much of one): https://thedirect.com/article/black-widow-david-harbour-mcu-superheroes-winter-guard  Pretty easy to CGI a giant drunk bear for 15 seconds. I just sold a copy this morning.

We currently have the science to make the proper effects for an authentic Winter Guard movie.

I have a plan to make this movie happen, all that I'll need is a group of Russians, some booze, and fists.

ursa major has the potential to have king shark / drax / rocket levels of hilarity if done right

not sure what the offer was after they stole our taxex, don't feel like going to that other site:

Now I have to hunt my 10 copies of this and M Feature 1 I have scattered around between my conan boxes and misc marvel and the unsorteds. great

I got it from Marvel's website, so it is either they just filled in the UPC for digital/online or...
this is a reprinted version that may have gone out with an action figure(?)

(I don't ever recall seeing a white-boxed reprint of this from way back in the day.)

True, the original Crimson Dynamo first appears in TOS #46, a silver age book, but that is entirely beside the point I was making. Maybe I was unclear; maybe you misread. 

You had pointed out that Hulk #258 is heating up and includes the first appearance of the Soviet Super-Soldiers, a team comprised on one of the bajillion Crimson Dynamos, Darkstar, Vanguard and Ursa Major. I was just adding that three years earlier, the same team except for Ursa Major, appeared in Iron Man #109, without calling themselves by any team name. That is why I was analogizing it to Brave and the Bold #54 and the Teen Titans. Iron Man #109 has no heat and may as well be grabbed now if the suspicion is there's heat around the team. (As @the blob pointed out, the Hulk #258 heat may only be around Ursa Major, who apparently will appear in the Black Widow movie.)

Soviet Super-Soldiers' individual first appearances:

Crimson Dynamo - TOS #46 (original version, Alex Nevsky). Dmitri Bukharin, the "good guy" Crimson Dynamo of the Soviet Super-Soldiers, first appears in Iron Man #109. But Nevsky was the original "villain" Crimson Dynamo from TOS.

Darkstar - Champions #7

Vanguard - Iron Man #109 (he is Darkstar's brother)

Ursa Major - Hulk #258 (also first time team is called the Soviet Super-Soldiers)

Sorry for any confusion; you put out a lot of good info here and its appreciated! I was just pointiing out a still-under-the-radar Soviet Super Soldiers book.
