Product Description
The Red Skull was a meek, young bellboy named Johann Schmidt before Hitler drafted him during World War II to be his secret agent. After being trained to be a master of disguise, a brilliant strategist and a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, the lethal assassin carried out the Fuhrer's most important missions. He became known as the Red Skull because he always wore a frightening mask that resembled the horrible visage of a red skull.
The Red Skull battled Captain America repeatedly throughout the war. An explosion separated the two warriors after the Sentinel of Liberty and the Skull's incredible battle in Berlin in 1945. The star spangled banner believed the Skull had been killed in the blast. In reality, the evil genius was exposed to an experiment nerve gas that kept him in a state of suspended animation. The criminal mastermind emerged decades later to learn to that his nemesis still lived and resumed his ongoing battle with him.
To this day, Captain America remains to one hurdle on road to world domination that the Red Skull has yet to leap. The Red Skull is presented here wearing the battle uniform he wore in Captain America #115. In a story entitled, "Now Begins the Nightmare", the megalomaniac gained possession of the Cosmic Cube, a small, man-made cube capable of altering reality. He used its power to trade bodies with Captain America before the shield slinger stopped his sinister plans once again.

Evil is eight inches.
By moby
The Red Skull eight inch figure from the Marvel Comics "famous covers" series is well sculpted as most of this line with sewn clothing and snaps. I can understand why he doesn't have the swastika arm band from the comics, that would be offensive to most people. But where is the Cosmic Cube he's holding on the cover?
