Ivan V
Ivan V was Co-Tsar with his younger half-brother Peter (the Great). He was the only son of Tsar Alexis' first wife, Maria Miloslavskaya. He was of poor health and didn't have much of an opinion in anything, making him a great puppet Tsar for his older sister Sophia. He died in 1696, leaving full Tsarship to Peter.
The source of the image used describes Ivan as "An idiot, but a nice idiot."
Batman
Batman has been known by many names. Bruce Wayne, The Dark Knight, Batman, and The World's Greatest Detective, to name a few. Batman is a very rich man with a kind yet lethal butler, Alfred, dead parents, and a tendency to adopt children and have them be his crime fighting sidekicks. He has hundreds of different BatSuits in literally every color.
Batman was added because he's our history teacher's favorite superhero, and we needed another person to fill the bracket. Plus, it's funny.

Tsar Alexei had thirteen issues from his first marriage and three from his second. But of all, only Ivan V and Peter I had children, through which he had eleven granddaughters, including Empress Anna and Empress Elizabeth.
One final to go! Frantically studying Russian names now... There are Too Many Ivans.
The Romanovs and the Zodiac
Virgo
The sixth sign in the zodiac. The element for Virgo is Earth and the symbol is the maiden. There are many myths relating to the maiden but the most common is that she is based on Astraea. In Greek mythology, she was the last immortal to abandon Earth at the end of the Silver Age, when the gods fled to Olympus – hence the sign's association with Earth. The ruling planet is Mercury. Romanovs born under Virgo include; Emperor Ivan VI (b. August 23, 1740), Tsaritsa Natalia Naryshkina (b. September 1, 1651, and Tsar Ivan V (b. September 6, 1666).
