Finally a Red Skull remake!

Overall, not a bad Red Skull remake. He could have come with higher damage, some phasing (he uses the cube to teleport a lot), and higher range.

However, he's still a decent figure. His attack values are pretty decent, and the front loaded psychic blast is nice.

He looks promising for Hydra teams at any rate.

Terrible representation. No 3 damage? Taking damage from his special power? Bllleugh.

I really like this guy. I would give him a 5 playability except for the 6 range.

Nazis are great villains.

Ugh. I hate powers or feats that sap your strength! What's the point? It's certainly got no relation to the storyline in the comics...

If you want to give somebody the near-infinite power of the Cosmic Cube, then do it! Don't #####-foot around. Make him 200+ points! THAT Skull I would play. And it sure would make it heroic if Cap can beat him.

As it is, I probably won't play this piece too often - maybe as an anchor on a Hydra team, if I'm feeling guilty about the awesomeness of Ninjas, Baron Blood, LE Jessica Drew and LE Elektra...

Having a Cosmic Cube sure doesn't amount to much, now does it? Oh well, he's still better than the last one.

After playing the Red Skull, I have new respect for him - he's not nearly as bad as I thought. Granted, there are a lot of dial elements that conspire to make him underpowered - 6 range, 2 damage maximum and the damage he may take from using his special power. He's got some useful abilities at least, as well as very nice Attack numbers, so he's still surprisingly playable.

I had a chance to use this piece last week and actually thought it wasn't bad. His stealth and poison worked well for me. The special power isn't as bad as a lot of people think, since it has a decent chance of not costing you anything to use.

I have to give credit to Red Skull, because he's actually awesome in sealed thanks to his wide array of support powers that his cube gives. Need outwit, perplex or probability control. Why not all of them? However, his powers come at a cost, so it makes him balanced. It's also useful to first outwit with cube, then give poison damage. It works even on pesky Iron-Man.

Red Skull is a good piece and will be fun to play with on the field.

Eh, I gotta say, this dial REALLY UNDERWHELMED me. When I first saw the preview with him holding the cosmic cube, I thought, OH MAN! But he's only got 7 life, and is 123 points of chance. Yah, his power is nice IF you don't roll a 1-3...but I just don't feel as safe with him as I should. Sculpt would be cooler if he was wearing a jacket or something, but is still cool.

All in all, not bad. But not what I was expecting.

Good attack numbers but his damage/defense is out of wack. As much as I'd love to play him I just can't justify it over the old one.

WOW we need a new Red Skull, the new Cap hammers this guy into dust and he's almost double the points.
