This guy gets all 5s from me! In a 800 point battle he was last man standing and almost took down 600 point onslaught. Had onslaught not had the guantlet he may have won. Still does everything I expected and more. Can't wait to put the glove on him to make it seem like he is just over commanding the cube.

Oh man, I could NOT be happier that I pulled this Red Skull. He was the last thing I pulled out of the last pack I bought (random 10 packs) and he's just so awesome for his points. A Red Skull with Power Cosmic, Pulse Wave, Running Shot and Probability Control...and if somehow you get him down to the end of his dial with the Psychic Blast and 12 attack, he's just filthy. A well-needed powerhouse for Hydra teams and an awesome new chase for my collection. 5's across the board.

Without question my favorite from this set. With the support Hydra offers he is nearly unstoppable. HOWEVER, I have never used his steal energy in the five games I've played with him, if it weren't for the perplex mid dial I would consider those wasted clicks, and I will concede his mobility leaves something to be desired. It is a toss up between this guy and the CA SR Red Skull for me, really depends on how many points I'm playing.

SO very good, I love opening RS and pulse wave, even with prob to top it all off. Full of so much win. Only a 3 on comic accuracy though because he never wielded the cosmic cube in the movie.

An awesome update of the original Cosmic Cube version (from the non-movie Avengers set).

So mid dial when he has Perplex, does he get to use it twice, once also for the trait? Thanks!

Disregard my question, I obviously wasn't thinking clearly. Sorry!

If you give him the right backup, he won't come off of that first click. He's a 5 all around. Running Shot, Pulse Wave, and PC, paired with Power Cosmic and a huge defense from range is a lethal combination.

I received this guy in the mail yesterday, and I played him last night in a 500 point game, on a Hydra theme team. What a great figure. For the first 80% of the game, he was on his top 2 clicks. Then he took a hit for 3 and ended up on click 5. He single handedly took out Chase Loki, as well as half of the rest of the opposing team. Awesome figure that I can't wait to play again on a larger point Hydra team. HAIL HYDRA!!!!!!

I put this guy on a team with just 3 HYDRA soldiers from the Avengers set, making it 215 points, and it could still easily take down a 400 point team. The running shot with pulse wave it enormously mean, and the prob on top of it is just cruel. Sure, he's a little weak for 2 clicks, but just pray you don't face him on his last three. I got hit with Galactus on full, causing him to go down to his last click cause he rolled a critical on me. After that, it was history. 6 damage when perplexed with 12 attack and prob? As if he wasn't mean enough! I love this piece!

Every time I have played this figure I have came up with a win. I always pair him up with Madame Hydra and bob, so that I get two PC on top of my theme team and the perplex +2 to any hydra keyword or TA (except damage) so when he needs to clear he has a shot at a 20 Def. (+2 perplex and + 1 with ESD, rule of 3)

funny story about this guy i was pulling 33 bucks worth of avengers boosters and my frend kept yelling odin every time i opened a pack on the last pack he said that he would give me 10 dollors for the pack i declined and guess who i pulled red skull!!!!!!!!

@rodimusprime...I agree except for BAoH...I substituted a hydra technician for the perplex and enhancement. I usually RS/PW to get tougher figs off their strong clicks and then us EnH/perplex to hit for 5 damage when defenses are inv/toughness/Super senses.

I hated this fig when I first saw it...I wanted ODIN more. I finally bought one cheap and I have never looked back...this guy is a wrecker! The +2 perplex from Madame Hydra helps of course. :rolleyes:

Bought 2 boxes and got Black Widow and him. I didn't realize what i had until i checked realms. I read nothing but good things, but I can't say i have ever used him, or found a really solid strategy with him.

This guy is really fun to play, especially in Bizarro
