Early Years
Little is known of Anatoly's early years, only that he was born in Siberia, Russia to parens named Nikolai and Lilia Ionov in an unknown year sometime in the far future. At some point in his late teens, Anatoly was drafted into the Oribital Space Corps where he took up martial arts (mainly Karate) and later became a master of it. The things he learned while in the army such as leadership, strategy and coordination would later become invaluable while leading the Cosmic Squad Rangers in the future. Anatoly would later state that while there wasn't much fighting, he did see some things. His job was to lead a battalion that helped war torn worlds through the struggle. He would most notably be haunted by the loss of his best friend Ivan, who was declared missing in action although Anatoly believed him to be dead. How wrong both of these beliefs were.
