Red Skull teams?

[TDCHeath]

Has anyone made a successful team with Red Skull as either a support piece or as the center piece of the team? I am very curious.

Yeah, I usually pair him with Dr Doom. Fly Skull up to any enemy, let him poison them away. Amazingly, my opps let him. Or the BA roll fails.

I've also had some success with him and White Queen. for some reason i dunno.

Red Skull works well against Firelord teams so long as they don't have an outwitter (to outwit skull's mastermind). Since Firelord's almost unhittable, the fact that poison doesn't need to roll makes Skull very dangerous against FL. Also, the fact that it does a point of damage every turn, dropping FL's DV fast.

I like teaming Skull up with Doombots, rookie Hyde, rookie Sabertooth and rookie Rogue. They've all got toughness for Skull's mastermind, can survive a hit from Firelord, and Sabertooth and Rogue can even heal.

But it's probably more cost-effective to team him up with total weenies who get killed in one shot. If you think about it, if you've only got 3 clicks, and you kill them with a 5 click shot, your opponent's just wasted 2 clicks of potential damage.
