Supervillain
During WW II from a frozen aircraft in the Arctic sea
The Nazi General, Schmidt, named as Red Skull sneaky
Stole Tessaract, the eerie relic of godly power untold
He wanted to channel to have the world under his fold.
He was one of the main Marvel universe antagonists
Ensured that Super Soldier Serum in him would exist
For his involvement with Hitler’s covert terrorist regime
Magneto buried him alive, but Crossbones rescued him.
To be a soldier, Steve Rogers, a commoner, aspired often
After a few discouraging initial failures he could get chosen
For the super soldier unique experiment in the US military
Serum injection made him Captain America extraordinary.
Rogers performed astonishing acts of exemplary gallantry
Like when all the prisoners of war he could alone free
Stealthily infiltrating into the fortified Nazi stronghold
Notorious Red Skull constructed in the Hydra base old.
Lest Schmidt used mass destruction weapons with delight
Superhero Rogers attacked him in his aircraft in flight
Fearing disgraceful defeat, and not capable to even retract
Supervillain Red Skull used mysteriously powerful Tesseract.
The mystic force of the contraption opened a wormhole
Sucked into it the Nazi General’s wounded body whole
The aircraft disappeared in the Arctic sea without trace
Rogers remained unlocated, Red Skull vanished in space.
