Magneto vs. the Red Skull

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Here are some scans from Captain America #367. It's set during the Acts of Vengeance cross-over.

A cabal of super-villains have been working together but did Skull really think that Magneto had forgotten the past?



Skull is thinking over his alliance when he receives a visitor.





Mags has a question for Herr Skull.




Skull does bring up a interesting point.





Skull doesn't even believe in the Reich anymore, he's just pissing on Mags. He will regret that.

Mags responds to the Controller.



Ha. Magneto's line is priceless.

Skull tries to escape via rail while delaying Magneto with Sleepers. Robots aren't the best card to play against the Master of Magnetism and he quickly loses his lead.



Magneto has plans for Herr Skull.



Magneto is not to be trifled with. But I think he was also talking to himself in that last page.

It's a small thing, but I like how they didn't try to plant responsibility for real world crimes on Red Skull. These days, I think writers would actually have Skull responsible for crimes like the Final Solution, simply because it makes him more evil

I don't think the Red Skull needs help being "More evil".

Besides, it would be tasteless to have a fictional villain responsible for real world crimes.

Very tasteless, but that's par for the course lately.
