Omega Red, the russian Super soldier. Something of an obscure character, he is none of the one of the deadliest characters in Marvel. And he has outright owned several people, including Wolverine, in a straight fight.

Mutant, born with his special spowers.
Place of Birth: Place of birth unknown
Known Relatives: No known relatives
First Appearance: X-MEN (second series) #4
Characteristics
Height: 6'11"
Weight: 425 lbs (192.8 kg)
Eyes: Red
Hair: Blonde
Skin: Chalky White
Unusual Features: Omega Red has chalk-white skin. Implanted within his arms are long coils made of carbonadium, an alloy that resembles adamantium but is more malleable and considerably less resistant to damage. Omega Red can cause the coils to shoot forward from openings in the undersides of his wrists in order to ensnare his victims. He can also use the coils as a conduit for his lethal pheromones.
Powers
Known Powers:
Carbonadium Coils: Omega Red possesses coils composed of Carbonadium in both of his arms. Carbonadium is a cheaper, more malleable version of Adamantium. These coils are highly resistant to damage, although not nearly as durable as Adamantium. He can release these coils and use them in a whip-like fashion, causing great devestation to whatever he hits with them. Omega Red is also capable of using these coils to ensnare targets, restraining most individuals easily due to the durability of the coils.
Life Force Absorption: ability to drain the life force of other humans to sustain his own. Omega Red can do this by ensnaring his victims within his tentacles. At one time the carbonadium in his body had the effect of slowly poisoning him which caused him to need to drain life forces frequently. This is no longer necessary but he still retains the ability to drain life forces. The more life force he drains, the stronger he gets and the faster he heals.
Death Factor: ability to emit lethal pheromones from his body (death spores). These spores result in the weakness or death of humans in his near vicinity. The severity of the effect is based on the endurance, health, and relative proximity of the victims. Normal humans would be killed in a matter of seconds of exposure, while a being with a heightened endurance can withstand it for minutes or even hours.
Superhuman Strength: Omega Red is superhumanly strong and is capable of lifting about 10 tons under optimum conditions.
Superhuman Durability Via Armor: Omega Red wears a suit of bright red armor, composed of an as yet unknown material. This armor, which covers most of Omega Red's body, renders him highly resistant to injury. He once withstood an energy blast from the mutant Chamber, that propelled him a distance of several miles without sustaining injury.
Superhuman Stamina: Omega Red's muscles generate considerably less fatigue toxins than the muscles of an ordinary human. He is capable of exerting himself at peak capacity for about a day before fatigue begins to affect him. However, he can use the energy he drains from others to enhanced his stamina even further.
Superhuman Agility: Omega Red's natural agility, body coordination, and balance are enhanced to levels that beyond the human body's natural limits.
Superhuman Reflexes: Omega Red's natural reflexes and reaction time are enhanced to levels that are beyond the human body's natural limits.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Omega Red is capable of healing at much greater speeds than that of an ordinary humans. He has proven capable of healing from deep slashes and puncture wounds within a matter of minutes. However, he is able to use the energy he drains from others to enhances his healing powers to higher levels.
Known Abilities: Omega Red is also an excellent hand-to-hand combatant and military tactician, having defeated foes such as Iron Man and Cable. He was trained in various forms of armed and unarmed combat by both the Soviet government and various organizations throughout the Japanese underworld. Highly intelligent, he has quickly become highly skilled in the management of criminal organizations.
Miscellaneous
Equipment: He also wears a suit of red retro-Russian armor. This armor is sufficient to enable him to withstand being assaulted by Wolverine's Adamantium claws without injury.
Transportation: No known transportation.
Weapons: Omega Red possesses retractable tendrils housed within his arms made of carbonadium, an artificial alloy that is the former Soviet Union's attempt at creating adamantium. Carbonadium is more malleable than adamantium and, while being vastly stronger than steel, is not as durable as adamantium. Carbonadium, however, is for all practical purposes virtually indestructible. Omega Red is able to use the tentacles as highly effective offensive weapons, often brandishing them like whips during combat. The natural durability of the tentacles, combined with his physical strength, are sufficient to cause devastation to just about anything they come into contact with.
Notes
* Due to his mutant "death factor" Omega Red must drain the life forces of others in order to remain active. However, if he found the carbonadium synthesizer, he could use it to synthesize carbonadium, the only metal that can neutralize the "death factor," thereby stabilizing it within his body.

End of that fight. The doctor is refering to the fact that red does not have the C-synthesizer, without which, his powers are limited and will kill him if he does not drain others for life energy,
