With Captain America Reborn, I just read Cap #600 and Reborn #1. And to me the details are still fuzzy about what exactly is going on.

It appears that Steve Rodgers mind was sent time traveling to the past. While his body is in a time freeze type stasis. And that the Red Skull basically wanted his body.

I think this whole time travel and scifi aspect is making for a terrible run and story idea. I expected better of Ed Brubaker then a cope out way to return Captain America. Even though it looks like he planned it this way, the idea I still think sucks.

Instead of Captain America just shot and killed and be done with it. End of story in a very realistic tone. The Red Skull wins at last.

Now it’s a case of: The Red Skull played as fool and loses once again. Oh the Red Skull just wanted Cap’s body to use as his own. Which will ultimately mean Cap returns and the Skull failed.

But I don’t think it explains the gunshot wounds clearly killing his body. Or the body deteriorating cause of the super soldier effects on the body.

But don’t fear because within a year it will be back to status quo Captain America, and this event in his life all but forgotten. A footnote in comic history.

I also wonder does the Red Skull have a possible gay fetish for Steve Rodgers, Captain America?

Here he is wanting to take over Steve Rogers body yet again.

In the past, with the cosmic cube the Red Skull switched places with Captain America and took over his body.

Also the Red Skull used and had a cloned body of Steve Rodgers.

What is the obsession with his body? It seems to me like it’s a bizarre fetish but a very real one that the Red Skull has. Captain America may be his enemy, but in a truly bizarre way I think he could be fond of him. And deep down he really does not want to kill Captain America.

It’s one of those weird cases of enemies being rivals for so long, that it actually grows into a relationship. Sure they may say they hate each other. Yet without the other, they would feel incomplete. The Red Skull without the real Captain America, would not feel as challenged by any other hero.
