Albert Malik was a Soviet spy during the later half of the 20th Century, not much is known about his past until the 1950s. He was part of a spy cell that was operating out of Algeria at the time. In 1953, following the death of Joseph Stalin, his government sought a legend to help bind the Soviet people to the late Vladimir Lenin's communist vision. Stalin's successor Gregori Malenkov had pulled Malik from his operations in Algeria and outfitted him as the new Red Skull following the disappearance and presumed death of the original Nazi operative. His first task as the Red Skull was to steal Adolf Hitler's strong box, which was reported to contain plans for an ultimate weapon the Soviets sought to use to tip the balance in the emerging Cold War with the United States.[1] To this end, Malik smuggled himself into the United States and with a team of communist operatives stormed the United Nations building to retrieve it. As fate would have it, Malik was opposed by William Burnside and Jack Monroe who had recently become the new Captain America and Bucky since the originals who were also presumed dead at the time.
