The Red Skull is pretty unique - the villain who's actually hated & despised by other villains. He's irredeemable, and one feels like taking a shower after too much time with him.
Good job with the thread. Keep going...

R.SKULL: silence lackey! the Wizard has insulted a member of the master race! he must apologize before we proceed!
WIZARD:You'll see yourself welcomed into Heaven before I speak those words, Skull!

MAGNETO: at least we agree on that, Wizard!
Magneto has nothing in common with mere humans, unless it's a furious hate towards everything that scarlet-headed creature represents! all that is vile and despicable in the world!
R.SKULL: you dare?!

Wow. I didn't realize Doom & The Skull had such a feud going. But it makes sense. The Skull would view Doom & his people as sub-human slavs; the fact Doom comes from gypsy stock only makes him seem lesser in his eyes. And Doom won't be viewed as anyone's lesser.
Red Skull has the same problem having allies that the Nazis did - hard to have them when you view virtually anyone different as beneath you.

Magneto had to fight all his way to the Red Skull; mechanical defenses, armed henchmen, skullbots, and some of Skull's most powerful minions: the 4th Sleeper and the Controller, were unable to stop enraged Magneto (hey, we all know he's a heavyweight, and he can be really frightening if he wants to)
These were dark hours for the Red Skull, but he managed to survive, as always. Of course, the Skull now has things to settle with Magneto, but it seems their roads have never crossed again.

The following scans involves more people being victims of Red Skull and his infamous dust of death. All of them belongs to different issues and situations.
A feat of sneakyness: Red Skull manages to kill his target inside a locked, guarded room, under the noses of all the guards, one of them being Captain America.
The Skull himself was exposed to his own dust of death once, but survived. Probably he developed a certain inmunity to it, or he took some antidotes "just in case".His face, however, was permanently disfigured and redskullized

It happened after he returned from death, in a body cloned from Captain America.
Jason says:
what am I supposed to do?
Jon says:
clean your apt before she moves in? buy some pink bed sheets? scented candles?
Jason says:
wait, u have pink bed sheets?
Jon says:
ive said too much
He wanted to inflict mental anguish and to ruin the image of the new Captain America by turning him into a berserker madman, and you know what? he did it
Here are the oldest Red Skull scans i have. They're from the time Cap was using his original triangle-shaped shield and Bucky was still alive (as Bucky), looong time ago.
