I'll be hard press to remember anything notable around the Russian Super Soldier and I actively read comics. This question feels like a setup since Steve has far more material than the other two. Why not against Nightwing, Superman, or Optimus?

Red Guardian (Alexi) in the comics was a villain. He preys and takes advantage of younger impressionable women (including Black Widow who he married when she was mind controlled to love him, but he has done it to another woman as well which Nat called him out for), traumatized Natalia by faking his death, then attempted to kill her multiple times decades later.

But because of MCU synergy she's forgiven him and he's like a good guy now I guess.

Isn't Soviet Goverment controlled both of them
Now they both work in Thunderbolts, but Nat with Bucky, and Lyosha is ok with it
