Overview
All the Red Skull's terrible secrets and plans are in the hands of his evil daughter, Sin, who's intent on outdoing her father... Now find out about the Skull's most dangerous World War II mission, that he risked everything for...and how it's going to tear the Marvel Universe apart today. Fear Itself starts here...in the darkest secrets of the past!
In the Egyptian desert, Sin and Baron Zemo seek out Sin's father's (The Red Skull) hidden journal about his greatest failure. After entering the base and recovering the book, Sin relates the story to Zemo:
In 1942, The Red Skull came across a gypsy camp and learned of a secret language that could summon a weapon from the gods. With the aid of the Nazi occult Thule Society, the Skull exterminated several Atlantean citizens as sacrifices for a ritual to summon this power. The process was seemingly successful, as a bolt of lightning landed in Antarctica.
The next day, Captain America, Bucky, and Namor come across the now-abandoned German castle and find the dead bodies of the Atlanteans. They track down the Red Skull, who is already at the site of the crash. But the Invaders are attacked by a large blue demon that was apparently brought to Earth along with the weapon, by accident.
The Invaders defeat the demon, though the Skull manages to make his escape. Back at the crash site, the Thule Society occultists begin invoking special spells to protect and hide the weapon that fell from the skies - an Asgardian hammer. The journal of the Red Skull tells of this hammer's secret location.
Back in the present day, the secret base begins to crumble as a booby trap left behind by the Skull. Zemo and Sin escape out, but Sin betrays Zemo by shooting off his teleporting device, leaving him stranded in the desert while Sin leaves.
