Previous Post Ever since I saw that new Cap costume, I can't shake the feeling that Red Skull wants Bucky to take the role of Cap. The Skull has always wanted to destroy not only Steve, but the ideologies that Steve represented. Red Skull waited to subdue Bucky until he saw that Buck had the capacity to kill Crossbones. Once he saw that he knew he could use him for his plans, what ever those might be. But it seems to me, that in story arc call "The Death of Captain America", killing Steve Rogers is only a part of the picture. Destroying the iconic image of what Steve Rodgers' Captain America represented in the marvel universe is the next logical step. Anyone else think that a mind controlled Bucky could be used to fulfill that goal with ease?

I think that the Skull wants Bucky to become the new Cap, and then the Skull will blow the lid off to the general public that Cap committed numerous atrocities and assassinations that served to undermine the American government over the years in his role as the Winter Soldier.

He wants the American people to lose total faith in Captain America as an iconic image of Americna ideals, regardless of who is in the suit.
