The Red Skull Is Making A List, And Checking It Twice...

In his very first appearance---

Well, wait, technically this isn't THE Red Skull's first appearance...a few issues later it was revealed that this wasn't the REAL Red Skull, just a cats-paw posing as the Red Skull, to better sow fear and whatever. Because even in 1941, Marvel was retconning themselves!

Anyway, in the first appearance of a guy posing as the Red Skull...

...he was keeping a death list!! Just like in Kill Bill!!

But who is that fifth victim??

Anyhoo, the "Skull" keeps whittling down that list...

SPOILER ALERT: Cap wasn't actually dead. This is why George Maxon was a crappy Red Skull...

But once again, who is that fifth name...? That's going to keep me up nights...

BONUS: Since there is no Friday Night Fights this week, let's ease your appetite for violence, by answering the question...how hard does Captain America hit the Red Skull??

So hard he busts through panel borders!!

DOUBLE BONUS: If you don't want people to know you're a Nazi spy...

...don't carry around Adolf Hitler's letter of recommendation in your pocket. Man, this guy really was a terrible Red Skull...
