SKULL-HOUSE[]

Skull House

The notorious Red Skull constructed this antiquated and Gothic mansion for his daughter Synthia Schmidt/Sin. It contains many artifacts such as automated replicas of his Sleepers as well as the Book of the Skull, a dangerous tome that is actually the journal of the Red Skull. It also contains many powerful magic spells and the Red Skull's secrets (including the location of the Hammer of Skadi). Its cover is coated with Atlantean skin. A miniature duplicate of the Death's Head Satellite was held with the Red Skull's many past glories in his trophy room at Skull House. After his ordeal at the hands of Magneto, the Red Skull was given a tour of his trophies by Crossbones, who hoped to revive his boss' spirit. The home itself is very spacious and rigged with traps and pitfalls for unwanted visitors. It contains a large rathskeller, library, laboratory, sleeping quarters, as well as an automated command center. The Red Skull went to Skull-House to die, and appeared to do so. Since this time, Captain America has closely monitored this residence for any suspicious activity. Captain America has stated that Skull-House is "the last place in the world I ever wanted to set foot in again"...
