Story

The origin of Leshy, how and when he became a superhero, is a mystery that has yet to be revealed not only by the reader, but also by the character himself. So far, all that is known is that he never dies, but only sometimes falls into a state of suspended animation for a while. It is something like the hibernation of bears. Then he wakes up, as if reborn, stocked up with strength to make the next round of life, to master new knowledge and skills. In the past, he was just a forester, now he is a forest scientist and pathologist, a person who has the necessary body of the most modern scientific knowledge in the field of biology, zoopsychology and zoomedicine, ecology, soil science, geography, geology, all related domains.

Despite his close connection with nature, the Russian superhero Leshy does not shy away from tech innovation, especially, when necessary, in his craft. He is also knowledgeable about survival and travel supplies. Leshy even collaborates with brands that produce sports and travel equipment, consulting them and sometimes acting as the face of their brands.

In addition to professional and related reasons for contact with people, Leshy also considers it his duty to come to the aid of his compatriots in various force majeure situations, such as natural disasters and other emergencies. During the Great Patriotic War and other armed conflicts, he universally demonstrated that he also possessed another remarkable talent, that of a warrior and defender.

Leshy is quite non-human. It is much easier for him to find a common language with animals than with people. Before accepting someone, he takes a long look and checks the person. However, if he becomes attached to someone, then this attachment is very strong and lasts for a long time. There are three such people-superheroes in Leshy’s life: Yaga, her daughter Vasilisa, and his best friend Ermak. Perhaps Konek will become such a person, but not too soon.
