The Many-Angled One wrote: But they are flying by Manhattan in that panel, and the person who kicks his face mentioned the Thors, implying this scene occurred in Battleworld. And then they end up in Weirdworld, which is near the Kingdom of Manhattan. So maybe (just maybe) this is a different iteration of him (the Secret Wars guidebook left it ambiguous which Skull the Slayer was there in Weirdworld). Coincidentally just went to read his entry in the handbook too, and you're right, it's pretty ambiguous, so the flashback is likely not Earth-616 in the background, but I'm at a loss. If he's from Kingdom of Manhattan, what else would we call him James Scully (Earth-BW20)? (Similar problem with the Ultimate End Vol 1 Cyclops and Spider-Man, I suppose.)
