Red Skull is one of Marvel Comics' scariest villains, and a 34-year-old Marvel movie helped to prove this fact with a comic-accurate rendition of the Captain America villain. Red Skull is one of the oldest villains in Marvel Comics and the arch-nemesis of Steve Rogers' Captain America.
Red Skull's striking appearance resulted from the character being injected with an early and underdeveloped form of the same Super Soldier Serum that gave Rogers his powers and helped to make the character so memorable. Red Skull made his MCU debut in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger as portrayed by Hugo Weaving. Weaving's take on the character was widely well-received, though arguably all too fleeting as he was removed from the picture by the movie's conclusion, after giving an exceptionally sinister performance. Yet this wasn't Red Skull's first live-action outing, and it was far from his scariest. That accolade instead goes to the Red Skull who appeared opposite the titular hero in 1990's Captain America.
