—Red SkullYou think this is what I wanted? Lying here with a hole in my chest? Sixty-four and no happy memories? The only thing that lured me out of retirement was the idea of a machine that could change everything. That's all I wanted the Cosmic Cube for. Not to rule the world or any of that crap. I wanted to turn back time and make things different. I wanted my father to come home from the war and marry my mother. I wanted us to be a family. I wanted to have a different life. Be something better... Is that really too much to ask? To be happy for once?

Synopsis for "The Next Generation - Part Six (of Six)"
It's the Avengers vs the Red Skull and the stakes are way up. With the Cosmic Cube in hand, the Red Skull is invincible... Actually, no he's not. After tormenting the Avengers, Captain America teleports his way to Alaska with his tele-plane. The Red Skull brings Cap down, but Cap manages to teleport his ship where the Red Skull is standing, impaling the Red Skull. Later, the Skull's mother, Gail, gives her final goodbyes. After that, Red Wasp shoots Red Skull in the head and ends everyone's suffering. That night, Gregory Stark is talking with Nick Fury. Greg explains that he knows Fury hired the Red Skull, so he could make a Black OPS team, and just like what happened the last time Fury made his Black OPS team, he became head of S.H.I.E.L.D.
