Even when I was a kid and didn't really understand all the Nazi stuff, I knew that the Red Skull was evil. I mean, you could just tell. Good guys don't walk around with bright red skeleton heads. <br /><br />Doctor Doom was also a favorite as well as Galactus. To be honest I liked them all. The villains always seemed to to trying to pull off more and more grandiose stunts, coldly delivering their invitations for our heroes to just try to stop them. Narrowly defeated, always to return again with something more diabolical. They sought ultimate power and though they continually failed, one day they would win and crush everyone.<br /><br />Red Skull always seemed a little confused. His time had passed him by but his hatred of Captain America kept him warm. His goal of ultimate power would never be fully realized and Cap always seemed to thwart his success. How he would love to crush this man, this wretched mongrel and at night it is all he can dream about.<br /><br />How did it all start he wonders? But he knows the answer and wishes he had crushed the life out of Captain America when he first had the chance. It wouldn't have taken much at all, a gloved hand tightening on Cap's throat. Maybe a minute, only a single minute. Yet the Red Skull does not let his mind rest there for too long. There is a plan, a simple plan rattling in his head. When he is done thinking, the plan is fully formed and he sneers to himself. This time... this time things are going to be different.RICK Arthur, Founderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925622575714675074noreply@blogger.com
