Red Skull (Comic Book)	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Arch-Enemy of Captain America and one of the oldest villains in comics, and widely regarded as one of the most despicable. Right-hand man of Adolf Hitler in the Marvel Universe, HYDRA brought him Back from the Dead to plague the world once again. There have been at least three major versions of the Skull. George Maxon, the first Red Skull first appeared in "Captain America Comics" #1 (March, 1941). The most (in)famous Red Skull, Johann Schmidt, first appeared in "Captain America Comics" #7 (October, 1941). The third Red Skull, Albert Malik first appeared in "Captain America Comics" #61 (March, 1947). Malik was established as the Communist Red Skull in "Young Men" #24 (December, 1953). Schmidt was revived in "Tales of Suspense" #79 (July, 1966).The established origin of the better known Skull is relatively complex. He was born as Johann Schmidt in a small German village, probably sometime in the 1910s. The Skull's mother Martha died giving birth to him, causing his drunken lout of a father to try and drown him, saying that the infant had murdered his wife. A doctor managed to prevent him from killing his newborn son, but the angry father went on to commit suicide. Growing up alone, the rise of the Nazis backdropping his life, young Schmidt eventually found himself living a hard life on the streets. All while nursing a growing anger and frustration towards the rest of the world. As an older teen, Schmidt managed to get a job as a bellhop for a major hotel frequented by Adolf Hitler. Schmidt was present for one occasion when Hitler was angrily berating the head of The Gestapo (or just some random German officer) for letting a spy escape, and screamed at the man that he could make even the bellhop into a better Nazi than him. He did.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Hitler, who seemed to recognize much of himself in the frustrated, resentful, unsuccessful yet obviously talented young man, became a sort of Evil Mentor and father figure to him, encouraging him to educate himself and grooming him for a powerful position in the Nazi state. (According to one version, to be his own successor.) Subordinate only to Hitler himself, the young, brilliant and ruthless Schmidt was placed in charge of foreign espionage and terrorist activities, playing a key role in Nazi victories in Europe and spreading fear (his red skull mask was intended to be a symbol of terror while Hitler could remain the popular leader in a national version of Good Cop/Bad Cop). He eventually moved onto the United States as World War II continued and sabotaged the top secret Project Rebirth by assassinating Prof. Erskine. Preparing for the inevitable war against Germany, the Americans decided to create their own Good Counterpart to the Red Skull's evil, the sole successful Super Soldier serum test subject, Steve Rogers, and trained him to become Captain America, the man who was to become Schmidt's Arch-Enemy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })However, as the war dragged on the Skull started to see that Germany was not going to win, and instead made plans to escape and build a new power base elsewhere to continue the struggle. In the meantime he assigned rival Nazi Baron Heinrich Zemo to a secret mission to assassinate Captain America, hoping the two would kill each other off. In the event, Zemo was defeated and Roger's sidekick Bucky Barnes was (seemingly) killed, but not before Captain America tracked the Skull to his secret bunker and engaged him in battle. Cap won and apparently killed the Skull, but in reality he was merely a Human Popsicle, a fate that Cap would shortly suffer too after his battle with Zemo.Captain America was revived by The Avengers, but not long after their enemies HYDRA discovered the Skull and revived him too. The Skull allied with them for as long as they were useful but secretly he was biding his time until he could steal the Cosmic Cube from AIM, the science division of HYDRA, the Cube being an Artifact of Doom that bestowed upon the user Reality Warping and godhood. He once again battled Captain America and was once again defeated, but subsequently managed to establish himself as a major and continuous threat to the world, with access to considerable resources.The Red Skull subsequently engaged in numerous more terrorist and mass murder schemes to wreak havoc across the world and kill Captain America, even managing to make himself Secretary of Defence disguised as one Dell Rusk, plus more attempts to possess a Cosmic Cube, before finally being assassinated by the Winter Soldier, a brainwashed, insane and very-much alive Bucky Barnes, but used a weakened Cube to transfer his mind into a Russian general named Lukin, the man who had him killed. Sharing his body, the Skull forced Lukin to go along with his schemes to manipulate the superhero Civil War so as to get one of his puppet politicians elected as President, and later tried to transfer his mind into Captain America's unborn child, before it was murdered by an increasingly rebellious Sin (his daughter). He later allied with Norman Osborn following his rise to power and finally managed to take over the body of Captain America himself, but after wreaking further damage was expelled and killed, this time for good.This being a comic book, the Red Skull returned in the pages of Uncanny Avengers during the Marvel NOW! relaunch, though as a clone in stasis since World War II... who gains access to Professor Charles Xavier's Psychic Powers.The Red Skull appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a villainous Chessmaster, Nazi super-scientist, and the founder of HYDRA in Captain America: The First Avenger. The MCU version is a Composite Character of the comic book Red Skull, Baron Strucker (the founder of HYDRA in the comics) and Baron Zemo (the Stupid Jetpack Hitler elements), although both Strucker and Zemo later appeared in the MCU in their own right. It amused many fans that Hugo Weaving was cast to play yet another powerful enemy named "Schmidt" with an appropriately and enjoyably OTT performance.MediaComic Books Captain America Captain America: Steve Rogers Batman & Captain America The Invaders Captain America Corps Captain America: Winter Soldier Uncanny Avengers AXISAnime Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers (portrayed by Motomu Kiyokawa in Japanese and Liam O'Brien in English) Marvel Future Avengers (portrayed by Motomu Kiyokawa in Japanese and Liam O'Brien in English)Films Captain America (1990) (portrayed by Scott Paulin) Marvel Cinematic Universe Captain America: The First Avenger (portrayed by Hugo Weaving) Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Posthumous Photographs/Video only) Avengers: Infinity War (portrayed by Ross Marquand) Avengers: Endgame (portrayed by Ross Marquand)Western Animation The Marvel Super Heroes (portrayed by Paul Kligman) Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (portrayed by Peter Cullen) X-Men (portrayed by Cedric Smith) Spider-Man: The Animated Series (portrayed by David Warner and Earl Boen) The Superhero Squad Show (portrayed by Mark Hamill) The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes!

A the climax of the Acts of Vengeance, he was locked in an abandoned bomb shelter by Magneto in the middle of nowhere. After days of without food, alone in the dark, he finally resigned himself to his fate and for the first and only time in his life, felt remorse for his evil deeds and privately conceded that he deserved this fate. But even this would be denied him, as was rescued shortly after, and after regaining his will to live after seeing Captain America and remembering how much he hated him... well, he forgot everything he had considered down there, and after telling Cap as much, began ranting about how he would get revenge on Magneto

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_1869b4b1	type	Unreliable Narrator
Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: The Skull's own version of his life story includes the claim that he remembers every detail of his birth, knows in-depth what his parents were like despite never really meeting them (he claimed to "feel the hatred" of his father for him - yes, when he was just born) and some other stuff like being thirty years old when he committed his first murder and met Hitler, despite subsequent versions portraying him as a teenager, not to mention his claim of having completed his Red Skull training in weeks, whilst simultaneously being an uneducated failure at everything in life up to that point. Obviously a lot of these changes are Retcon, but it actually makes sense that they are different because if you read between the lines, the Skull could be taken as just a blatant liar, trying to make his transformation sound more remarkable than it was. There's also the point that the Skull who told this version of the story was ancient and rather obviously senile. When he first related his origins to Captain America some forty years earlier, the tale was very similar in outline, but notably free of all the extravagant and shocking details. The miniseries Red Skull: Incarnate shows the actual truth to be different, but no less spectacular (Johann orchestrated his "chance" meeting with Hitler).

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_1c3d047e	comment	The Rival: In some stories, has traits of this with Cap. A straighter example would be fellow Nazi supervillain Baron Zemo. They are similar in many ways, including wearing face-concealing red masks, but while the Skull is a Self-Made Man and villainous Working-Class Hero from the humblest of backgrounds, Zemo is Doctor Heinrich Zemo, 12th Baron Zemo, a well-educated Gentleman and a Scholar from a long line of wealthy titled nobility. While they share the same national and ideological loyalties and aims, their differing backgrounds (and methods, to some degree) make them natural rivals: To the Skull, Zemo is a Sheltered Aristocrat who does not truly understand the world, while Zemo thinks the Skull still has far too much of his Lower-Class Lout origins in him. Consequently, each wants to show the other up and demonstrate himself the better. However, both are man enough to grudgingly respect the other's abilities and accomplishment.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_1fd2efc9	comment	Byronic Hero: Some versions can be more or less this, much like the real Hitler fits the checklist. (It is important to remember that "hero" in this context does not mean "good guy," or even necessarily sympathetic.) When written like this, the Skull is intelligent, passionate, philosophical and very much haunted by his past, all of which makes him a sort of tragic but darkly compelling Nietzschean figure on perpetual collision course with liberal society, a very "existential" character. However, other versions lack this sort of depth, being straight-up Card-Carrying Villains.

Thus, what is called social progress nowadays (increased third-world immigration, anti-racism, public homosexuality, etc) is actually regression towards the prehistorical state of non-culture. True progress, meanwhile, is represented by a "scientific" worldview: namely, authoritarian technocracy, of which Nazism is a subset.

Like Heinrich Himmler's ideal Waffen-SS soldiers, Red Skull is personally incorruptible: he leads a Spartan life, spends his spare time in training and study to become an even better Nazi, is Not Distracted by the Sexy and doesn't care about money, fame or the fact that most of the world hates him. His one desire and purpose in life is to serve the Nazi ideal and bring about the perfect world Hitler dreamed of, and in his own way he's totally unselfish about it. Though as with much else, this varies with the writing. Notably, in the '90s Dark Age his insane clone was just a cackling villain with no ideals whatever who spent much of his time selling drugs and beating up random people.

In a crossover, he mutually refuses to work with The Joker, not so much for ethical standards as "artistic" ones. The Joker glories in psychological torture and poetic death - he finds far more value in compelling a good man to kill a child, or an entire major American city to abandon basic hygiene, than he does mass (even millions-strong) graves full of indiscriminate victims. So to the Joker, Skull is a talentless hack, and to the Skull, Joker is a useless lunatic. Also, while the Joker might be a criminal lunatic, he draws the line at working with Nazis.

So for weeks, the Skull was locked in a dark room with concrete walls, slowly starving to death. He raged, pounded on the walls, tried in vain to reach the exit high above him, sobbed, and eventually began hallucinating. By the time he was found by Crossbones, Mother Night, and Machinesmith, he was utterly broken and wished to die.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_38bb862f	comment	Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Not the way you expect it: It's actually the Skull pitying Captain America, who reacts like this. Explanation: Because of values dissonance with some of modern culture (remember, he was born in the late 1910s), Cap is sometimes disturbed by what the America he fights to protect has turned into. The Skull (roughly equally old) is one of the few people alive who can actually, empathetically understand this, but also the last person in the world Cap wants any kind of sympathy from. Especially since their shared dislike of modernity is a kind of Not So Different. It's also been played straight on other occasions, like a more typical hero/villain interaction.

He once killed his accountant, for pete's sake, because "she was a bad accountant". And he usually uses his "Dust of Death" poison, one of the most agonising and horrible weapons in his arsenal, when he feels like doing the deed. Bizarrely, he can still count on the fervent loyalty of most of his followers. Though this depends somewhat on the writing, also, making the enthusiasm of his subordinates less inexplicable. In many stories, he's more "harsh but fair" like a stereotypical German military martinet, and tends to lead by example. Notably, the specific examples listed above come from when he was at his all-time worst, in the Comics Dark Age.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_4b045a8a	comment	Villainous Valour: It's a major plot point in many stories that the Skull and his minions are a relatively small and hugely outnumbered band of fighters hunted by all the most powerful nations and superheroes of the world. So he needs to pick his fights very carefully in order to win them, and to be smarter than his enemies because he can't match them in brute strength. A specific example is in the 1970s story arc where he was more or less out of funds altogether, and became essentially a lone-wolf terrorist — approximately something like a (more) villainous version of V in V for Vendetta. Even then he managed to put up a credible fight against Captain America, SHIELD and the US government.

However, his hatred and contempt for what he sees as decadent, permissive and deeply immoral present-day democratic society sometimes makes him act like this: he deliberately flaunts "modern" social conventions, for example by acting extremely "politically incorrectly," not because he is rebellious by temperament, but because he despises this society and takes pleasure in shocking its sensibilities. Also, the Dark Age version of the Skull was this very much, to the point of being quite the Troll, since he was a Card-Carrying Straw Anarchist.

Notably, in the late 80s he was usually portrayed as a textbook Straw Nihilist, supposedly because he'd suddenly come to think that fascism was old-fashioned. In this particular case, though, there were external factors involved, and the Skull in question was actually a clone on Psycho Serum, so at least there's some excuse.

At his "nicest" he's basically just a Nazi general who believes in his cause and is prepared to do whatever it takes to win the war. This version is fanatical and totally ruthless, but not personally sadistic or murderous. On the other hand, some versions are nothing but sadistic and murderous and believe in no principles or ideals, Nazi or otherwise. Similarly, his enemies can be portrayed as all-American, "apple pie" crusaders or more cynical government agents. Or the writer can have him fight the Commies or the evil mutants for a change.

He also leads a relatively small underground organization which roughly everyone else hates (including the superpowers), so he has to be vigilant and smart to stay ahead. Similarly, while his nemesis Cap isn't stupid, he tends to rely more on muscle to solve problems.

He is an expert marksman and a brilliant and imaginative strategist, and like a true soldier is unafraid to put himself in harm's way or use himself as his own best chess piece to see his plans come to fruition. He is considered one of the deadliest threats to mankind in a world that has to put up with regular Alien Invasions, Eldritch Abominations, power-mad superhumans and all manner of catastrophes, and he consistently demonstrates why he has that reputation.

While Mags is understandably furious at the tone he takes, and at his gall in offering to "let the past rest" (as Skull intended for him to be), he has no rebuttal to Skull's claims, probably because he himself has come to similar conclusions in the past.

Doesn't make up for his treatment of Mother Night, though, which was outright and frequent physical abuse, and he loved every minute of it too.

Thus, he dismisses the idea that blonde, blue-eyed Europeans are genetically superior to everyone else as quackery.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_76db0ef5	type	Slobs Versus Snobs
Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_76db0ef5	comment	Slobs vs. Snobs: Despite (or maybe because of) his own poor background, Red Skull hates lower-class slobs almost as much as he does the wealthy elite. May be psychologically justified, in that he has worked very hard to better himself in spite of his humble origins, and is disgusted with people who won't even try. Stories set in World War II sometimes give him this dynamic with Baron Heinrich Zemo. Skull was a working-class man who used one of the few lucky breaks he got to make a meteoric rise through the ranks, while Zemo was an elitist Nazi Nobleman with one of the best educations one could ask for.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_770c9008	comment	Red Skull tried to persuade Captain America that they are really fighting for the same goals: to rid their countries of present-day corruption and decadence and restore their former glory. Specifically, he played on the fact that they both grew up before World War II, and so share a common viewpoint in seeing a lot things in America having changed for the worse since the 1940s. While Cap might think Nazism is bad, isn't it still better than the bankster capitalism and lunatic identity politics of the 2010s? It almost works — Though a lot of that is due to Skull cheating and using More Than Mind Control.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_79a60aec	comment	For Want of a Nail: Aside from his father trying to drown him, the night he met Hitler he claims he was contemplating suicide, and may have gone through with it had he not been granted the opportunity. While it isn't mentioned very often, the Communist Red Skull killed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents John and Mary Parker, otherwise known as the father and mother of Spider-Man. If he hadn't, Peter would not have had to live with his Aunt and Uncle Ben and possibly would have never become a superhero. The original Red Skull supposedly received a report on the early Magneto when he was a prisoner of the Nazis, noting his apparently supernatural abilities (then much weaker than in later times). He took it seriously enough to have the matter investigated further, but for various reasons failed to act on it. If he had, the power dynamics of the Marvel mutant community (and of supervillains more generally) would look noticeably different.

The Skull can't very well refuse outright, so he takes a third option and shoots the buttons off the man's jacket without harming him, arguing that this will teach him enough of a lesson, and killing him would be wasteful. The combination of badassery and pragmatism convinces his handler to pass him, and also essentially establishes the Skull's character for the rest of the series.

A mainstay of his rhetoric is that things will only keep getting worse as long as people submit to the corrupt system. It is the people alone who can change the world for the better, by being willing to stand up and risk their safety; he will lead them, if they will follow him, but every man must do his part. And because he usually practices what he preaches, he does succeed in inspiring his followers.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_89a17726	comment	Spell My Name with an "S": The correct spelling of his name is "Johann Schmidt" (two letters n in the first name, a c between the s and h in the second, ending with a d followed by a t), both officially and according to all ordinary rules and standards of German orthography. For whatever reason, many people appear to find this extremely difficult to remember, including some official writers and proofreaders. Especially the variant "Johann Schmidt" (which looks quite ridiculous to native German-speakers) is fairly common.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: Of hammy supervillains in general, and fictional Nazis in particular. Even the original Silver Age origin story gave a surprisingly sympathetic and to some extent "realistic" explanation for why a non-psychopath would want to be a Nazi supervillain, and why he would likely be a Large Ham if he became one. Many early stories nevertheless portrayed him as a more or less generic ranting villain, who knew he was evil. But later writers (or at least some of them) realized that such villainy is unrealistic, so instead they tend to give him a coherent Nazi worldview. The result makes him more terrifying, since the best stories really manage to show how he can be a genocidal Nazi and still be morally upright by the standards of his own culture.

By all appearances the affection was completely mutual, and it seemed a rather storybookish romance. However, it turned out the girl was Jewish on her father's side, which triggered a psychotic episode on the Skull's part. Predictably, it ended in tragedy. It eventually turned out to be All Just a Dream, anyway, but that doesn't lessen the emotional impact very much.

Obviously this is a dramatic conceit, but it may also be justified in many cases. Post-war, he simply might not have all that many men to spare on short notice, if his neo-fascist cells have recently taken a major beating, and during the war he might be fighting as a propaganda stunt, or possibly because the mission requires a Super Soldier of his caliber, even if this also means risking a high-ranking staff officer.

Red Skull is good at both grand-scale, long-term strategic planning and tactical improvisation, but weak on the intermediate level of operations; this is where most of his schemes tend to fail. Interestingly, this is also how military professionals tend to judge Hitler's conduct of World War II, though this is probably pure coincidence.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_a426ae28	comment	Multiple-Choice Past: Caused mainly by multiple retcons over the years: The original background story by Stan Lee, somewhat based on the historical Hitler's real background, had him as a poor orphan, menial worker and sometime thief without family of friends, a miserable loner who failed at everything he tried and grew ever more angry with both himself and the system. This version was totally despondent and plodded along in life from day to day, until one day (and quite by chance) he met Hitler, who recognized his potential and invited him into the Nazi hierarchy. Later writers then largely adhered to this story, but put in various embellishments. For example, when J. M. De Matteis retold the Skull's origin story, he added a lot of Darker and Edgier material to the effect that he was really a psychotic Serial Killer long before he met Hitler. The miniseries by Greg Pak changes the story around a lot by making the young Johann Schmidt a member of the Communist underground and a hired killer.

His mother's doctor rescued him, but he just got put in an orphanage and things just went downhill from there... Enough to make Hitler a better father figure. He's often written as a terrible father to his own daughter as well, though exactly how much so varies between different stories; in at least one version, he initially contemplated infanticide, out of disappointment that he would not have a male heir. At best, Sin's upbringing embodies the non plus ultra of Tough Love. Also depending on the writer, she either hates him for it or acknowledges it as necessary to make her who she is — though not everyone would agree that this was a good thing.

Some stories play up aspects of his character that point in this direction, however; for example, Captain America #14. There's never any question of him being anything but a Nazi, but his background is truly tragic. After a lifetime of loneliness and failure he met his one friend (Hitler), who helped him pull together and make something of his life. Then he came to believe in a cause, helped rebuild his country and became successful and respected. And then he lost everything again, and all he cared about was destroyed. Now his motivations are a mixture of trying to regain what he lost and taking revenge on the enemies who destroyed it. Perhaps most notably tragic in Earth X, where Captain America essentially eulogizes him to his mind-controlling successor. But then, all Earth X villains but the Celestials are tragic.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_c420a553	comment	We Can Rule Together: Not often, but on occasion. Red Skull tried to persuade Captain America that they are really fighting for the same goals: to rid their countries of present-day corruption and decadence and restore their former glory. Specifically, he played on the fact that they both grew up before World War II, and so share a common viewpoint in seeing a lot things in America having changed for the worse since the 1940s. While Cap might think Nazism is bad, isn't it still better than the bankster capitalism and lunatic identity politics of the 2010s? It almost works — Though a lot of that is due to Skull cheating and using More Than Mind Control. A Cosmic Cube-powered Skull tried it with Sharon Carter, implying that he wanted her by his side as he assumed the authority of God-Emperor of the local galaxies. Perhaps not wholly unexpectedly, Sharon wasn't all that interested; and to his credit, in this case the Skull accepted that and showed no inclination to force her compliance, as he easily could have with the Cube's powers.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_c868a42a	comment	Freudian Excuse: Like much else with the Skull, whether he has one varies, as Depending on the Writer. The original origin story was essentially a somewhat exaggerated version of Adolf Hitler's real-life biography before World War I. It showed the young Johann Schmidt as a struggling orphan who worked menial jobs and sometimes committed crimes against property to survive; other authors (for example, Mark Waid) elaborated on this. In this version, Schmidt suffered abuse from the police and other criminals, but was not himself violent or insane; however, his experiences gave him a very bleak view of the world, and engendered massive resentment on his part against the system. He joined the Nazis because he genuinely thought they'd make Germany and the world a better place, and not least because Hitler was the first person ever to believe in him and treat him as a man of worth. Meanwhile, some later writers apparently thought this made him too sympathetic, and wrote different versions where he was born Axe-Crazy and a lunatic Serial Killer long before he met Hitler.

His descent into overt villainy was gradual, going from propery crimes in his youth (when older criminals exploited him as a pickpocket and burglar) to violence for the "greater good" in the service of Nazism, and the experience of total war shattered most of what few illusions he still had.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_cc427069	comment	Hard Work Hardly Works: According to the Skull, in a story from the 1980's, his brutal training regime organized by Hitler lasted... weeks. Not years. Not months. Weeks. He went from a bellhop nobody to the most dangerous and competent man in the Reich in weeks, despite having next to no formal education, being a human punching bag on the streets, and having worked nothing but the most menial jobs in between scraping by as a beggar and a thief (a bad one- again, his own words). He says he was thirty too, which would mean he literally just never learned anything until then, but subsequent materials say he was in his late teens, which is a bit of an improvement. Of course, the same story has him remembering both of his parents, including their faces and behaviour, despite both of them being dead before he was a day old, as well as what it was like to be pulled out of the womb- he says he has an amazing memory. These days, that's largely ignored. His superhuman powers of remembrance either completely justifies his amazing out-of-the-blue ability to learn anything, or suggests he was being less than honest about it. The Marvel Handbook writes that his initial training period lasted "months" rather than weeks, and even when it was done he wasn't immediately given huge power. He met Hitler in 1933 (or 1934, depending on the story), so by the time he faces Captain America in 1941, he's had some years of on-the-job training and promotions. It's still an unusually rapid rise through the ranks, but not quite as meteoric as the 1980s story suggested.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_ce6487aa	comment	Misery Builds Character: Invoked by the Skull (who has one of the most depressing backgrounds of comics characters, himself) when he raised his daughter. Since he's always Had to Be Sharp, he holds any expression of "weakness" in deepest contempt, and believed she would need a very tough upbringing in order to develop to her full potential and (perhaps) become a worthy successor to him, should he die before his work is finished. Depending on the writer, she either hates him for this, is grateful for it, or both. He applies the same philosophy to himself, too, and lives frugally and pushes himself to the very limit in all kinds of Training from Hell in order to realize his own full potential, sorely needed just to stay alive with most of the world's most powerful people his sworn enemies. So at least, he's not being hypocritical about it.

In the nightmarish Bad Future which showed how it worked out, he made the US suffer everything the Allies did to Germany in World War II and starved the people, destroyed the cities, dynamited the monuments, put the military-age men in prison camps and had the superheroes executed like the Nazi leaders in the Nuremberg Trials.

He started out as a fairly low-ranking special intelligence operative, but by 1941 or so he was the second most powerful man in Europe, and kept this position throughout the rest of the war. In later years he usually can't do this much politicking, for obvious reasons, but some of his conspiracies can be incredibly Byzantine. One which almost succeeded involved tanking the American economy through financial manipulations, usurping one of the national political parties and using a false Captain America to keep the superheroes in line.

His thoughts: He must be tougher than all his myriad enemies, or else be found wanting by Nature. Note that the training isn't sadistic or over-the-top, so much as simply mind-numbingly boring and exhausting, and about the equivalent of a full-time job in terms of the time he spends on it.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_d83f3588	comment	Depending on the Artist: How the Skull looks under the mask has varied somewhat with different comics; some give him a stereotypically Nordic tall, blond and handsome appearance, while in one early story he was dark-haired with a broad, vaguely Central European face. The default now agreed on seems to be a fairly but not extraordinarily attractive Celtic face, thin and somewhat pale with fiery red hair and sharp blue eyes; imagine something like Rorschach unmasked, but handsomer and with straight hair. How the "red skull" mask itself looks. Jack Kirby drew it like a vaguely "realistic" latex mask, with lips, eyelids and etc, but others make it into a bizarre affair with bony excrescences, exposed teeth, a free-hanging jawbone and lidless Glowing Eyes of Doom that must require serious animatronics to work. This is also Lampshaded in one story, where the Skull's supervillain trophy shelf holds an assortment of skulls shaped in all the ways he has appeared over the years, implying that he switches between different masks for variety.

And he enjoys it, every minute of it. The occasions he has had the Cosmic Cube have given him nigh-omnipotent power; he once used it to hold an apple in front of a starving crowd, just so he could deny them it! Oh, and shortly after, he ate it in front of a starving baby. On the other hand, some versions are relatively nicer. In one early incarnation, he wanted to unite the world under an ultra-totalitarian Nazi government in order to stop Reed Richards from being useless and propel the Marvel Earth into the Space Opera setting which thanks to its Super Science it has every potential to be. Of course, he then intended to use the world-changing supertech to take over the galaxy and remake the Marvelverse into a sort of Imperium of Man, so he was still power-mad, but not as pointlessly sadistic, and certainly more of a visionary.

Americans, of course, view Nazi Germany as an evil empire note The German word Reich can be translated as "empire," though "realm" is a better rendering and their own republic as good; Red Skull, on the other hand, like Hitler considers the dictatorial Nazi style of government a sort of "Germanic democracy", and rails against ruthless "American Imperialism" carried out under a mere window-dressing of democratic values.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_e16217f8	comment	Historical Villain Upgrade: Not the Skull himself, who is fictional, but Hitler and other real Nazis sometimes get this in the stories where he features. Depending on the writer, Hitler can be made either a raving Card-Carrying Villain or things far darker still. In real life, well, Hitler obviously isn't considered a nice guy, but few historians believe he spent his dinners bragging about how evil he was. Also averted in some stories, where Hitler is portrayed as reasonable and nice, to his friends, at least. Needless to say, for a modern reader, this can easily be much scarier than older-comic Hitler who rants about being the most evil man of all time.

With their smart uniforms, rallies, patriotic songs and general spirit of optimism and hope in a chaotic and depressing Germany, they come across as sympathetic and attractive — certainly to young Johann Schmidt, but to some extent to the readers, too. The point is to show some bit of why real-life Germans voted Nazi, and it works disturbingly well with good writing.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_e5d37e0f	type	Divergent Character Evolution
Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_e5d37e0f	comment	Divergent Character Evolution: Originally, Red Skull and Doctor Zemo were pretty much interchangeable as "masked Nazi supervillains who are Captain America's Arch-Enemy". This is probably because Zemo was originally intended to be the Skull's Silver Age replacement in Cap's post-war stories. But Stan Lee decided to bring back the Skull as well, and Zemo got killed off. However, later writers have mined the character for World War II-era stories, and developed him considerably; he was given storylines of his own, an aristocratic origin (he is now best known as Baron Zemo) and a distinctive character. Now, his established position is that of the Skull's chief historical rival in the Nazi hierarchy, a role that plays both on how similar they still are in many ways and how their differing backgrounds nevertheless make them resent each other.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_e993da98	comment	Equal-Opportunity Evil: Played with (and subject to considerable authorial flip-flopping). Though the Skull, being a Nazi, holds very politically incorrect views on the matter of race, he is also pragmatic about working with people from other backgrounds. For example, in the Civil Rights riots of the 1970s he cooperated with Black militants to bring down the US government, though this was a somewhat extreme case. More commonly, his top officers and agents are shown to include women, Chinese and other non-whites among their ranks, and he seems to hold no bias against them, so long as they agree with his fascist politics. Which is either a case of Shown Their Work or (more probably) Accidentally Correct Writing on part of the writers, since while the real-life Nazis are (rightly) known for extreme racism today, they had no trouble working with Arabs, Indians, Japanese and other non-whites, because they disliked opposing ideologies more than other races and viewed non-Europeans ideologically aligned to them as allies against their common enemies. In fact, there were even whole divisions of non-white SS troops during the war.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_eda30d58	comment	0% Approval Rating: In Universe, the Red Skull is without question one of the most reviled, despised, detested, and flat-out hated villains in the entire Marvel Universe, loathed by both heroes and villains alike. Put simply, when even the Joker of all people wants nothing to do with you, you know you're a vile, irredeemable piece of trash. For further perspective, consider that two of the most dangerous villains in Marvel are Magneto and Doctor Doom. For as dangerous as they are, and as villainous as they can be, both of them absolutely hate the Red Skull. It also makes perfect sense from their perspective (apart from, y'know, just hating a Nazi in general) considering Magneto is Jewish and Doom is Romani. As we all know, there was a little event motivated in exterminating Jews entirely, while the Roma were one of the "miscellaneous" groups that were exterminated as well. Magneto in fact survived the Holocaust and witnessed the Nazis' cruelty first hand, while Doom was greatly oppressed for his heritage at the hands of the Latverian dictatorship and certainly would've faced even worse by the Nazis as well had they ever got to Latveria. Neither of these things mesh well with Red Skull's "beliefs". In an issue of Runaways, the titular runaways kidnapped future member Victor Mancha after learning of his destiny to be a supervillain. When looking through candidates of who his father could be, they went through multiple candidates including The Kingpin, Electro, The Leader, freaking Galactus, among others, but the villain that made him draw the line? You got it, the Red Skull. Keep in mind that he could handle the idea of being Galactus's son, but not the Red Skull. Fortunately for him, he was right — his real father is Ultron, and even that didn't cause him grief like the idea of having a Nazi for a father did.

First, he is good at it, and takes a certain pride in that. Second, and more philosophically, he believes that, in spite of everything, war does sometimes show man at his finest as well as his worst: namely, in the readiness of the idealistic soldier to suffer, kill and die for causes greater than himself.

He has also been shown many times to work well together with people from diverse backgrounds, including non-whites, so either he isn't totally fanatic about it, or serious Pragmatic Villainy is in play.

Especially true in the Nazi era, when both he and the movement he joined were powerful and respected.

However, he does believe that a man should be prepared, not just to die, but to kill for his country in times of war.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_f8084d07	comment	Society Is to Blame: A supervillain who might actually claim this and have a legitimate point, at least in most versions of his backstory. Young Johann Schmidt by all appearances wasn't particularly evil, much less psychotic; and as his subsequent career demonstrates, he's actually a highly intelligent, capable and often even idealistic man. If he had grown up with caring parents, or even just in a moderately functional society, he might have been a successful benevolent politician or academic, or, given that he inhabits a comics shared universe, perhaps even some kind of superhero. Unfortunately, he spent his childhood and youth as a persecuted orphan in the economically and politically dysfunctional Weimar Republic. It seemed to him that only the Nazis could bring back any semblance of order and prosperity to society, and they were also the only group who treated him, personally, with any sympathy or respect, so he joined them and, as Hitler's personal friend, became their most devoted follower. Though Captain America defies the trope, with relation to the Skull's past, pointing out that while he's maybe had it tough, he is still responsible for his own choices. Averted in the Darker and Edgier De Matteis rewrite, where the Skull was psychotic and murderous even as a baby.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_fba4c0aa	comment	Driven to Villainy: In the original version of his backstory, young Johann Schmidt never did anything seriously evil before he became Red Skull; his worst crime was stealing food when he was starving. However, he was brutally treated by nearly everyone else, and got No Sympathy from the law. The one group that gave him any help or respect as a human being was the Nazis, and hence he joined them and came to think of them as the good guys. It's strongly implied that if someone genuinely good had cared about him before that, he wouldn't have turned out the way he did. Even as Red Skull, he was initially unwilling to kill, though war and hatred has since desensitized him to it. Needless to say, this doesn't apply at all to those versions where he was born a Card-Carrying Villain like a minor Antichrist.

Red Skull (Comic Book) / int_fd7267dd	comment	Master of Disguise: The list of people he's successfully impersonated to run his schemes must be a yard long at this point. And that's not counting the times he's just used other folks' bodies. Notably, in one story he manages to get himself appointed Secretary of Defense of the United States, under the alias Dell Rusk. Not only does this require extreme disguise and cover mastery to pass the background checks, but building up the cover identity to the point where he's not merely not suspected, but considered competent, suitable and sufficiently well-connected for this office ... Well, let's just say it's a bigger espionage coup than anything anyone has managed in real life, and leave it at that.note In real American history, there have been a few cases where very high-ranking government officials were exposed as Soviet agents, notably Harry Dexter White (Assistant Secretary of the Treasury). All such cases took place during World War II, when many naive Americans viewed the Soviets as trusted allies, and so waived many security checks for pro-Soviet officers. Needless to say, no Nazi has ever gotten anywhere near the US federal government.

In one early incarnation, he wanted to unite the world under an ultra-totalitarian Nazi government in order to stop Reed Richards from being useless and propel the Marvel Earth into the Space Opera setting which thanks to its Super Science it has every potential to be. Of course, he then intended to use the world-changing supertech to take over the galaxy and remake the Marvelverse into a sort of Imperium of Man, so he was still power-mad, but not as pointlessly sadistic, and certainly more of a visionary.
