History:
(Avengers Forever II#3) - Following the defeat of
Earth-21798's Black
Skull on Earth-818, "Carnage Red Skull" and several other Skull
counterparts emerged from portals created by the Black Skull's machine
that had torn into the Multiversal Superflow. As he emerged from a
portal, "Carnage Red Skull" witnessed a Black
Skull counterpart proclaimed to Earth-818 heroes Moon Knight and Vision
that if one Skull fell, a thousand more would take his place.
(Avengers Forever II#4) -
Earth-818's Ant-Man and his
allies came to Moon Knight and Vision's defense and the Skull
counterparts announced their plans to assume control of Earth-818 in
the Black Skull's absence. "Carnage Red Skull" then joined the other
Skull counterparts in attacking Ant-Man and his allies, prompting
Earth-818's Moon Knight to suggest the heroes close the portals to the
Superflow as more Skull counterparts arrived. When
Reality-14412 sisters Atli, Ellisiv and
Frigg emerged from one the portals, "Carnage Red Skull" was hit by the
ship carrying the sisters and a massive battle quickly ensued, during
which "Carnage Red Skull" was hit in the chest by a blast from
Ant-Man's Knowhere Gun. Eventually, Earth-616's
Ghost Rider arrived on the scene and used the
Black Skull's former symbiote to pull the Skull counterparts back
through the Superflow portals, effectively banishing them from
Earth-818.Comments: Created by Jason Aaron, Aaron Kuder,
Cam Smith and Scott Hanna.
This counterpart of the Red Skull
appeared to be bonded to the Carnage symbiote, not unlike the
Earth-616 serial killer Cletus Kasady (Carnage), hence the title of
this profile, "Carnage
Red Skull."
"Carnage Red Skull"'s eye color
was impossible to determine, as he was only ever seen with his head
completely covered by the symbiote.
While the Marvel Database website
lists this Skull counterpart's real name as Johann Shmidt, we are not
given any sort of inkling as to "Carnage Red Skull"'s real name. It
could easily be another person who, in their reality, had been
transformed into a Red Skull counterpart or it could be a counterpart
of Carnage himself or any other number of possibilities
including the Database's possibility of it being a Johann Shmidt
counterpart. On this note, we also are never told this character's
origin so we do not know if the character is a mutated human, a mutant
born with powers or the most likely origin: a human bonded to alien
Klyntar symbiote.
The "Carnage Red Skull" was
never actually identified by name though it stands to reason that at
least part of his codename would be Skull, as the symbiote-powered
Hydra Red Skull counterpart mentioned that when one Skull fell, a
thousand more would take his place.
