The Scarlet Skull was a mercenary and assassin who allied himself with the Nazi spy mastermind, Sinhart, and his partner, The Condor. The three had developed a plot to kill the President of the United States and replace him with Condor, who had made himself the President’s double. The plot was thwarted by the hero Daredevil. The Skull was actually an ordinary man wearing a skull mask, but he considered himself too ugly to be seen without the mask. He managed to sneak up on Daredevil twice, and knock him out once, but he wasn’t a match for Daredevil head-to-head. He used conventional weapons such as guns, knives, and clubs.
