Abilities; The Red Skull was a genius at military, political, and subversive strategy. His brilliance was comparable to that of Napoleon. The Red Skull was a fine hand-to-hand combatant, although he was never a match for Captain America. The Red Skull was also a skilled marksman with various forms of handguns.
Weapons; The Red Skull's most infamous weapon was his so-called "dust of death." The chemical composition of this powder is unknown, but it kills a victim within seconds of making contact with the victim's skin, causing the skin on the victim's head to tighten, shrivel, and take on a red discoloration, while causing all the hair on the victim's head to fall out. As a result, the victim's corpse appears to have a "red skull" for a head. While committing murders with this weapon, the Skull often hummed, whistled, or played a tape recording of Chopin's funeral march, which was also the Skull's trademark music when he committed murders in the early 1940's. The Skull could fire his "dust of death" from a special handgun.
Paraphernalia; The Red Skull used many other weapons; many of these were conventional but others were advanced beyond the scope of contemporary mainstream science. The Skull also employed artificial living beings created by Arnim Zola.

He said "I could train this bellboy better then you". And he did. The Bellboy become the Nazi answer to Captain America. In fact, he appearred in the very first issue of Cap's book way back in the 1940's. They became arch-foe that even extends to the Skulls death (one of many).

NOTES: One of the weirdest thing that happened to the Skull was when Armin Zola tranferred the Skull's mind into a clone body of Cap after the Skull died. He even ran for congress. Unfortunatly for the Skull, some of his death gas effect him turning his face into the very mask he wore. He has often made AIM create the Cosmic Cube, which use to make himself the ruler. Of course Cap was always there to stop him.
