Origins:
 
Like many of the original Red Skull's other fail-safes, this clone was meant to awaken in the changed landscape of the future where the Red Skull was just a forgotten menace of a fallen regime. Created by Arnim Zola in 1942 under the orders of the original when he suspected the defeat of the Reich in World War II. He awoke to find the world in a turbulent period and ripe for conquest.
Seeing how mutants nearly destroyed the world convinced him that they were the threat, searching the world he recruited exceptional individuals and formed a group of S-Men to combat the mutant menace. He also stole the brain of Professor X in order to gain his telepathic powers, reasoning that it would be best to use it than waste his time trying to gather relics and arcane objects which would only reveal his hand.
