Description: The Red Skull sends a message.
Rating: PG
Manhattan was in a communications blackout. Those monitoring radio, phone, television, or other signals could pick up nothing. But then, in late evening, a single transmission occurred. A shadowy figure stood in the background, then walked forward into view. It was a man whose face was a mass of knotted muscle and exposed flesh, as if the skin had been flayed away.
"I have Manhattan. I want the Cosmic Cube. Tell Fury." Then the figure grinned.
It looped, over and over again. Picked up immediately by the military forces, it then was found by some Empire State University students who captured the stream and posted it to the Internet. Within an hour, it was being shown by all major news stations. The speaker was instantly nicknamed The Red Skull due to his likeness to the villain in the popular Captain America biopic from a few years before.
While the details varied, all the news programs asked the same questions. What is the Cosmic Cube? Who is Fury? And what would the Red Skull do to Manhattan if he didn't get what he wanted?
