Zangief, although he may appear to be destructive he is actually a good nature person with a great sense of humor. He loves to get himself into fist fights and he is the proud symbol of Mother Russia. He is commonly referred to as the Red Cyclone by his fellow people. He was a former wrestler and loves to get his opponent into his terrifying Pile Driver. He left the wrestling business because he feels that there was lack of competition. He would do anything for his country and usually on his spare time he would wrestle bears for fun. However he feels his Pile Driver lacks something, anybody would fall to his Pile Driver, but it doesn't even meet his standards. Then one day a huge Cyclone hits Russia as Zangief tries to hurry out of its way he is taken in by the Cyclone and dropped back into the earth with a giant thud. He laughs and has found the one thing is Pile Driver was missing. He does not feel he could go back to the ring though because opponents would be too easy, Zangief wanted to do something that would make his country proud and also worthy of a challenge. Then luck apparently stopped by his doorstep, the president of Mother Russia had told Zangief of an awesome power that would plague mother Russia if it was not stopped. Zangief really wants to go home and spend time with his family, but he has a duty to do, and that duty is to take down the awesome power of Apocalypse!
