One of the Nazis' main agents, the Red Skull was obsessed with creating and controlling a Doomsday Weapon he built.
After learning that one of their scientists had been kidnapped, the Allies sent Wolverine and Captain America to rescue him. After realizing that they had been set up and the Scientist was there willingly, they were captured by The Red Skull. After escaping, they came face to face with The Skull and defeated his Sleeper robot before The Skull escaped on his plan.
After numerous battles with Captain America and the Six American Warriors, he and Captain America became trapped in a vortex.
50 years later, The Skull’s son, Rhienholdt Kragov freed him from the vortex and they found The Doomsday weapon and used it on Rhienholdt, and he became Electro. After Electro betrayed The Skull tricked Spider-Man and Captain America into fixing the vortex in order to capture Electro. After a battle, both Cap and The Skull were trapped in the vortex again.
He is later freed by the Beyonder to be apart of the Secret wars. He recruited Alistar Smythe and Doctor Octopus to help him in his bid to conquer Battleworld. He was returned to earth by Doctor Doom when Doom stole the Beyonder’s powers.
