[Ultimate Comics] Divided We Fall

No there was not.
Having the military cover up their war hero's bastard son was a good touch, though.

He's just lashing out against his good for nothing pops, who was never there for him. I wouldn't expect you with your sakura cosplay dream world to understand.

Well, i said "no real reason". Wanting to get rid of the only thing you inherited from your father is a dumb reason, and the only reason it makes any kind of sense is because the character is called Red Skull and he needed to lose his face somehow.

I can get behind the first via comic logic, why he would basically shred his face, rebellion and what not, but otherwise? Thats just kinda dumb
On another note, Pacheco kinda feels like hes trying to hard to sort of emulate Hitch's art (panel layout and action sequences) which kinda bugs me.
During Zero Tolerance, he had some really nice pieces which drew me in, the same way Hitch's did, whilst still retaining his pacheco-ness.
Red Skull is Cap's son, so he's not an exact copy, no.
If Millar doesn't give it some fat, thats kind of a dumb reason for the whole act
No it's not, if you have grown up to resent everything that father represents and stands for
WHICH HE HAS ("17 years of rage" so on and so forth)
Not that I know anything about hating fathers or anything but man you people are dense
Nothing is even mentioned about him hating his father until he cuts his face off, and that is a pretty extraordinary thing to do in light of such ordinary feelings. It's a flimsy explanation.

Man, at least Ultimate Deadpool sacrificed his face for a goddamn cause.
That's dumber than Doom putting a metal mask on his face fresh out of the oven.
Does that make sense?
"everything that has happened in the last seventeen years is because my father is Captain America and it sucks and so does he" is not the same as "I am mad at my dad"
Also
He's fucking insane
he is mad because he is reminded of his father, whose fault it quite literally is that he has lived in a fucking lab his whole life, every time he looks in the mirror
So
Tony Stark's brotha should be black.
Honestly, I've got the feeling that this has more to do with it than anything else. This might be the only thing that's driving him.
The original Red Skull was a nazi, convinced of his inherent superiority. What if Ultimate Skull is the same, growing up just 'knowing' that he is better than everyone around him? That everyone else is not even a real person since they're nowhere near as strong or smart as he is? 'I'm a god amongst these people and I can do whatever I want.' He marked himself not to remove what he'd inherited from his father but to set himself apart from all the 'mere humans' out there.
I think it would be interesting for the Skull to have absolutely no real feelings about his father one way or the other, and just be some crazed, self-deluded demigod convinced everyone else is an animal that exists for him to mess with. That Cap being there in his youth wouldn't have changed anything at all - he'd still have turned out rotten.

And who's to say that he won't start monologue-ing when Cap tracks him down about why did it.

I'm considering it.
Although it'd be weeks before I'd actually get it in the mail.
Plus I'm spending wayyy more than I should be on comics right now.
I just read the preview, and realized that even though Ultimatum may have been a crappy event, it left a wonderful aftermath for new stories to be set in. There's a line about Tony and Reed cleaning out their labs of crazy science weapons before looters find them, which is an awesome idea.
I agree. What is he working on now?
Bagley may be the fan favorite, but my dude Immonen was where its at
<3 Ultimate Cap.

bah... that's the kind of Cap writing that makes me hate Ultimate Cap. I get that Miller thinks he has his finger on the pulse of what it meant to be a man back in the 1940's, but his characterizations just come off as forced and silly.

You're right, of course. I do think it's plausible though that a 90lb weakling would actually overcompensate once he was made so powerful. Think of all the stories about power corrupting, and whatnot. After all, think about his life, post-serum: gorgeous, ripped, famous and beloved by everyone. He goes from a nobody to stopping the Chitaur'i invasion singlehandedly. It's not surprising that he might start embodying some of the stereotypes he previously held about such "strong" people.
It's surprising to me. I find it to be a rather poor characterization. I get that it could happen, I guess, but it definitely dilutes the nobleness that Captain America embodied, that which I always attributed to his having been given such a gift.
