Superseded Red Skull
His eyes were totally devoid of empathy.
No one has eyes as vast as all humanity.
I've been living in denial that he's the Red Skull.
Rebuking that my vexing foe has lived but is dull
From a plane stuck on the Arctic ice during WWII.
Schmidt was the Red Skull, the Nazi commander.
The rare celestial artifact Tesseract was taken too.
Sought to funnel harm into the world through slander.
Hitler, who saw him in his rage, was his evil mentor.
Led Hitler's global espionage and terror strategy.
If Hitler was hailed, his crimson skull mask just tore.
America built a chief rival to the Red Skull's raggedy.
Steve Rogers was a plebe with military dreams.
He was selected after a number of initial setbacks.
This US military endeavor is unique in its deems.
Serum and premix made him Captain America hacks.
Rogers displayed prodigious acts of heroism.
When he alone could free all the prisoners of war.
By lurking inside the armed Nazi camp of terrorism.
Infamous Red Skull had built in the Hydra lair.
To prevent Schmidt from using nuclear weapons.
The superhero assaulted him in his airplane.
The device's mystic force created rift beckons.
That screwed in the torn body of the Nazi brain.
