While the number of characters in Avengers: Infinity War may have been a bit overwhelming at first, we were still excited to see the appearance of the villain Red Skull. We hadn’t seen him on the big screen since Captain America: The First Avenger and things had definitely changed with him, and we aren’t just talking about his outfit.
Actress Carrie Coon played the role of Proxima Midnight in Avengers Infinity War, but the character is one non-comic book fans probably didn’t recognize. We’ll tell you more about what it was like to portray a member of the Black Order and the relationship between Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive.
Then we will take a look at Ebony Maw, one of the most highly-praised Children of Thanos. Although he has some impressive telekinetic abilities in the MCU, his true power remained hidden in the movie. His scene with Doctor Strange made it look as though he lost, since he was sucked out into space like a xenomorph, but the comic books makes us think there might be something more to this story and it could end up with Thanos being defeated.

I was disappointed how fast ebony maw was killed. He was so powerful and had great expectations as a villian.

Wish he didnt die and was with thanos at the end and escaped when the second one from 2014 came to the future and the avengers had to battle 2 ebony maws

Says Red Skull didn’t get any of Captain Americas powers. Proceeds to show a clip of Red Skull putting a fist shaped dent into a metal shield 1 inch thick...

[@roflstompin]

maybe he went to the gym and made some gains out of envy?

[@blueroninstudios]

Him and Cap are literally two sides of the same coin: two leaders of their organizations infused with the same serum that enhanced their bodies to the limits of human potential. Schmidt was bad, so he became worse, Steve was good so he became a perfect human being, soldier, captain, Avenger, superhero.

...... what this creator doesn't realize about red skull... he has all of captain Americas powers... he was just an evil person and the serum magnified that and made him as ugly and scary outside as he is inside as well as magnifying his strength and making him a true competitor to captain america...

[@rebelredshirt_2188]

Omg, strange did not give up the stone to protect tony, he did it to protect the only timeline in which they win. The same timeline in which starlord lunges at thanos. Otherwise strange would have prevented star lord from doing it. Everything that happend, needed to happen the way it did in order to eventually win

[@mattcalloway6254]

Red skull has Captain America’s powers. Who told you he didn’t?

[@Rizky-vc1py]

Yeah, he did, the only side effect is his skin

[@drummyt7166]

He did get much stronger but I would argue he’s not as strong as cap. Or as agile, immune to fatigue, etc.

[@kylewolf7930]

Right, because the serum was in it’s early stages. While it still had the muscle strengthening strain, it had a bad side effect which caused him losing his skin. I think CBR needs to rewatch the movies before they create their script

[@launchtexasintothesunforev9551]

The ebony flaw in proximity to midnight makes my skull red

[@BlackfeatherLegion]

So communism and racism? The Ebony Flaw must refer to the "Black Crisis" in today's age, and the Skull that is Red must refer to Communist aggression. And it happens around Midnight, am I correct?

[@legititi2012]

in iron man 2, the villain said "if you were to make god bleed, then he might as well cease to exist" so since stark made thanos bleed, he basically made him cease to exist which most likely explained strange giving up the time stone for him.

[@niksleven]

Red skull got all of caps powers and he’s a little stronger actually

[@gjeraldh2989]

And he looks better

[@DoubleMM70]

No he doesn't. The doctors stated in the MCU timeline(movies) The serum works better on you when you are pure at heart. Qualities beyond the physical Red Skull was evil that why the Serum made him looked the way he does and he is not as strong as Cap. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bavEh2Clrc2FrK8 Do you actually think Red Skull could perform the same feat that Cap did to Thanos and hold his one hand with the Gauntlet on?

[@R.E.factor]

DoubleMM70 that feat was honestly just for cinematic suspense. I don’t recall any other strength feats from Cap that are consistent with that one. That or we can surmise that Thanos was holding back tremendously just to troll Cap into thinking he might stand a chance in stopping him. This is the same Thanos that bested Hulk without having to use the power of the gauntlet.

[@MrHenhen5]

Yeah thanos wasn't even trying against cap you can see his face he's admiring caps determination even against someone who's much stronger than him. Cap never gives up and thanos admires that in a way

[@rickcarson591]

Red Skull's presence - and servitude, and knowledge of the names and histories of petitioners for the soul stone - implies that at least three of the stones are working together. Space stone to send him there, mind stone to compel obedience (though it does beg the question of what else there is to do on that barren planet), and mind stone again to read their minds - unless there's a wiki-stone where he can look up their backstories on wikipedia. Possibly also the time stone might be involved to prevent him from ageing (and/or becoming hungry?).

Also red skulls appearance guarding the soul stone when we was teleported by the space stone shows us that the stones actually communicate with each other.

5:50 I blamed Star Lord too but something occurred to me tht most ppl didn’t notice. 1.) In tht scene, Nebula was the one who put the pieces together for Star Lord to realize tht Thanos killed/sacrificed Gamora. If she had kept her mouth shut SpiderMan and IronMan would’ve pulled the Infinity Gauntlet off Thanos successfully. 2.) Nebula was the only one (besides StarLord who was taunting Thanos and asking him about Gamora) who wasn’t doing a damn thing to help remove the Ganutlet from Thanos or subdue him. Also she was standing close behind StarLord. She could have tried to hold him back or stop him from hitting Thanos and disrupting Mantis’ sleep hold on him. In conclusion StarLord was just acting out of grief and anger. Nebula meanwhile was a useless shit who didn’t do a damn thing. I blame her and not StarLord. Nebula you fuckin moron... smh

[@AntoineVello]

Right since it's finally been backed up by someone with more comics knowledge than I. I'm going to propose that the Mind Stone is the antagonist of Age of Ultron. Wanda's powers come from the Mind Stone and she's the one who gave Tony the vision of the Avengers dying. She says "I had a vision of what he would do with it," and if I had to guess the vision is either directly from the Mind Stone influencing her or was one of her gifts purposefully given to her by the Mind Stone. This then pushes Tony into a nightmare mode where he tries to use the Mind Stone to create Ultron, springing the trap of the Ultron AI onto the world. It's only after this trap is sprung that they can then use the mind stone as a weapon against Ultron.

Dr Strange changed his mind on keeping the time stone away from Thanos even if it meant letting spider-man and Iron man die because he used it to see the future and there was no way to win without Iron man.
