Ultimate Avengers: Red Skull and the new Black Widow


This is from Wizard #213's article on Millar's Ultimate Avengers.

You know what really, REALLY bugs me about this?

That Red Skull isn't even ... a Nazi. At most he's one of those inbred redneck wannabe Neo-Nazis.

PLEASE let the REAL RED SKULL come by and kill his ass for taking the name. What the fuck is that, really? He looks more like Edward Norton's character in American History X than a real menace.

But you already have the REAL Red Skull in the Marvel Universe.
Isn't one of the points of the Ultimate Universe to offer radical modern interpretations of characters?

Why would you want the Ultimate version to be just like the Marvel version?

I like the idea of it being an "American History X"-like villain. The American Neo-Nazi youth movement is so jarring and creepy, I would like to see comic books tackle it in an interesting way.
