The setting is Moscow, world hockey championship, after Belarus-USA game. Nikolai is pretty upset and a bit drunk.
"Hey, Belarusian loser!"
"WTF?"
Vanguard turns around to see Cannonball, who's drinking beer and happy because of 5-1 victory of the USA team.
"I said that you're the stupid Belarusian f@g.."
"I thought you knew dick about hockey and weren't interested in anything, save from freshly frien Kentucky chicken and some chicks that were stupid enough to sleep with you..."
Their powers kinda similiar, so I think their fields should cancel each other and physically Kolya (short version of name Nikolai) is superior to Sam and also better h2h fighter...though Sam is faster.
Anyways, I like Vanguard because he was the first superhero from Minsk created by Marvel. Though I like his sister better... her name, Laynia, is most probably an uglified version of really existing name Lana (short of Svetlana) which is my given name.
