History:
(Avengers Forever II#3) - Following the defeat of
Earth-21798's Black
Skull on Earth-818, "Warrior Red Skull" and several other Skull
counterparts emerged from portals created by the Black Skull's machine
that had torn into the Multiversal Superflow. After emerging from a
portal, "Warrior Red Skull" stood with sword drawn as 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, with "Captain Red Skull" proclaiming that
the Skull counterpart who killed the heroes would inherit rulership of
Earth-818. When
Reality-14412 sisters Atli, Ellisiv and
Frigg emerged from one the portals, a massive fight ensued until
Earth-616's Ghost Rider arrived and used the
Black Skull's former symbiote to pull the "Warrior Red Skull" and the
other Skull counterparts back
through the Superflow portals, effectively banishing them from
Earth-818.

Cam Smith and Scott Hanna.
This counterpart of the Red Skull
appeared to be a Super-Soldier of some sort, not unlike Earth-616's
Captain America, hence the title of this profile: "Captain Red Skull."
"Captain Red Skull"'s eye color
was impossible to determine, as he was only ever seen with his hair and
eyes covered by a mask.
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 "Captain 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 Captain America 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, etc. etc.
"Captain 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.
