The Titanic Three is a fictional team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The team consisted of 3 supervillains: Titanium Man, Radioactive Man and Crimson Dynamo. While the Radioactive Man was a Chinese super-villain, the other members of the team were from the Soviet Union. Thus the team was one of the several reflections of the Cold War in the Marvel Universe.
