This is the first post-WWII appearance of the Red Skull. According to 1960s continuity, Captain America was frozen in a block of ice prior to war’s end, and Bucky was killed. Per 1940s continuity, they both survived the war and went on to fight crime on the homefront. So something already needs reconciling well before we throw Red Skull into the mix.
Red Skull has become a common thief. No more Nazi cause. No clever murders. He breaks some convicts out of jail to steal prescription drugs. Seems way beneath him. A far cry from his grand plans to conquer all of America.
Cap and Bucky battle the Skull.
And the Skull falls to his death. This must be the end of the Red Skull for sure.
