Sibercat (Illyich Lavrov) is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in "X-Factor Annual vol. 1 #1".

Fictional character biography

Illyich Lavrov was recruited by the Russian mutant Blind Faith to become a freedom fighter attempt against the Soviet's mutant genocide program, and it was during this struggle that they encountered the original X-Factor team.

Originally calling himself the "Siberian Tiger", Lavrov took on the code-name of Sibercat after the Russian mercenary named Foxfire tore through the ranks of the Soviet Super-Soldiers, killing many Russian mutants. Sibercat was saved by Blind Faith and joined the second incarnation of the Super-Soldiers, which later became the Winter Guard.

Sibercat is the "happy go lucky" type who tries to keep humour amidst the tragedy around him. Of all the Russian mutants, he remains the most fascinated with American culture.

Powers and abilities
