Red Skull


Johann Schmidt was born in a village in Germany to Hermann and Martha Schmidt. His mother died in childbirth and his father blamed Johann for her death. Johann's father tried to drown the baby, only to be stopped by the attending doctor; he later committed suicide, leaving Johann an orphan. The doctor took Johann to an orphanage, where the child led a lonely existence. Johann ran away from the orphanage when he was seven years old and lived on the streets as a beggar and a thief. As he grew older he worked at various menial jobs but spent most of his time in prison for crimes ranging from vagrancy to theft.

According to the official version of the story told by the Red Skull and the Nazis, Schmidt met Hitler while working as a bellhop in a major hotel. This occurred during his late teens, around the same time that the Nazi Party gained power in Germany. Schmidt wound up serving the rooms of Adolf Hitler himself. By chance, Schmidt was present by bringing refreshments when the Führer was furiously scolding an officer for letting a prisoner escape, during which Hitler pledged that he could create a better National Socialist out of the bellhop. Looking closely at the youth and sensing his dark inner nature, Hitler decided to take up the challenge and recruited Schmidt. In the series Red Skull: Incarnate, it has been revealed that Schmidt actually engineered his meeting with the Führer with himself disguised as a bellhop, tricking his fellow orphan Dieter into trying to kill Hitler and then taking this opportunity to save Hitler's life.

Dissatisfied with the standard drill instruction his subordinates used to train Schmidt, Hitler took over personally, and trained Schmidt as his right-hand man. Upon completion, Hitler gave Schmidt a unique uniform with a grotesque red skull mask, and he emerged as the Red Skull (in literal German: Roter Totenkopf or Roter (Toten-)Schädel) for the first time. His role was the embodiment of Nazi intimidation, while Hitler could remain the popular leader of Germany. To that end, The Red Skull was appointed head of Nazi terrorist activities with an additional large role in external espionage and sabotage. He succeeded, wreaking havoc throughout Europe in the early stages of World War II. The propaganda effect was so great that the United States government decided to counter it by creating their own equivalent using the one recipient of the lost Project Rebirth, Steve Rogers, as Captain America.

Edward Richtofen
Doctor Edward Richtofenis a sadistic scientist working for Nazi Germany. Richtofen disliked the Nazi regime and considered the party's agenda too moral. Through his strong urge to kill and maim, the scientist enlisted into the Wehrmacht in order to satisfy his need to kill. He joined the nazi research group, Group 935 led by Doctor Ludvig Maxis. Group 935's main facility was located near Breslau, a top-secret weapons factory, which the Nazi government titled "Der Riese". Group 935 prime goal was to help with the German war effort, They were responsible of using Element 115 to develop advanced technolgy. 115 was used to create a series of Teleporters capable of sending troops to various areas of interest. However, their tests failed and their result was the creation of an army of zombies (because 115 had the ability to reanimate dead cells). One of the primary experiments of group 935 was the wonder weapon experiments, in which they attempted to create super powerful weapons, such as the Wunderwaffe DG2, the Raygun, the QED, the Scavenger and the Wave gun. Later on Richtofen and three others, Takeo Masaki (an Imperial Japanese officer), Tank Dempsey (a Marine Raider), and Nikolai Belinski (a Red Army soldier) must now combat Richtofen's own horrendous creatures.
