Red Skull

WWII

In WWII, Johann Schmidt joined Hydra. He was Baron Zemo's right hand man. He stole an early version of the Super Soldier Serum and used it on himself. His face was horribly disfigured, but he was stronger, faster, and more agile. He adopted the name "Red Skull" because that was what his face looked like. He began working on a machine that could bring creatures from the realms of Norse Mythology to Earth behind Zemo's back. Baron Blitzschlag operated the machine and several soldiers guarded the machine at Hydra Castle. Captain America and Bucky bust into the base and fought their way to the control room, where Red Skull was waiting for them.
