We have all speculated that there’s an unknown villain within the Avengers. I think it’s the Kree, others say it could be the skrulls, but a new contender has emerged thanks to some careful sleuths scouring the toyline sites. Today we find out that the hidden villain might be The Red Skull.

“Charging straight out of theaters and onto your tabletop, Marvel’s the Avengers Movie HeroClix set features heroes like Captain America and Thor as they battle the villainy of the Red Skull and Loki! Each Counter-Top display includes standard one-figure boosters as well as new three-figure “Team Packs”! Team Packs are designed with strong thematic undertones – play a Hydra force or defend freedom with a S.H.I.E.L.D. team pack!”

This makes so much sense that I’m surprised that I haven’t considered this prior. The Red Skull, the Cosmic Cube, whole shared universe thing… it just makes sense. I’m really curious about what you guys might think about this. It could just be a toyline needing to borrow characters from other movies or it could be hinting at something actually within the movie. I don’t know but I’m sure some of you smart guys reading have a few ideas…
