Red Skull/Cosmic Time Heist

Johann Schmidt is the former leader of HYDRA known as Red Skull who was teleported to Vormir. Trapped in a state of purgatory, he was forced to become a Stonekeeper, a wraith cursed to advise whoever sought the Soul Stone. After seven decades on Vormir, Red Skull met Hawkeye and Black Widow as they sought the Soul Stone. After Black Widow was sacrificed, Schmidt was briefly freed until Captain America returned the Soul Stone and restored his curse.
==Biography==
===Guarding the Soul Stone===
In 2014, Red Skull was visited by Black Widow and Hawkeye, who had traveled from another timeline in their attempt to resurrect the victims of the Snap. Greeting the pair, Red Skull noted his knowledge of their parent's names, and explaining that he would be their guide. As Black Widow demanded to be taken to the Soul Stone so they could leave, Red Skull had noted that it would not be so easy.
Leading them towards the cliffside of Vormir's temple, Red Skull had then explained that the Stone was at the bottom of the cliff, and told them of the need for a sacrifice of something that they loved in order to obtain the stone, noting that this sacrifice would be an everlasting exchange. Black Widow and Hawkeye did not come to a decision on what to do, as they sat and pondered the ramifications of a sacrifice, with Hawkeye awkwardly waving at Red Skull as they thought.
As Red Skull watched on, both Black Widow and Hawkeye decided to sacrifice themselves for the Stone, leading to them attempting to subdue each other with all their weaponry, until Black Widow was finally able to throw herself to her death, allowing Hawkeye to obtain the Soul Stone. However, before Red Skull was able to be freed from his curse, Captain America returned the Stone following the Battle of Earth, leaving this version of Red Skull trapped on Vormir.Avengers: Endgame
