YMMV / Iron Man & Captain America: Heroes United

• Alternative Character Interpretation: While Red Skull claimed that Taskmaster's plan to steal Iron Man's stealth armor and take over HYDRA came from him, it's entirely possible that Taskmaster was planning to do so anyway before his time in the Neurotransducer.
• Complete Monster: Red Skull continues his track record of being a heartless monster. Having a penchant for Mind Rape, Red Skull brainwashes Taskmaster into becoming his slave, then orders him to capture Captain America. When several of Skull's minions are captured, Skull remotely mind-wipes them, leaving their personalities nothing more than blank slates. After capturing Captain America, Skull repeats his brainwashing process on him, turning him against his teammate, Iron Man. Skull then reveals his master plan: Infect millions of innocent people with his mind-altering Super-Soldier serum, which will turn them into mindless zombies whose only purpose will be to assist Red Skull in his plan to Take Over the World in the name of HYDRA.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: The Evil Costume Switch Steve Rogers receives during the time in which he is Brainwashed and Crazy into serving the Red Skull, is an extremely popular design, and a great deal of Fandom-Specific Plot AUs have been designed around it.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Captain America getting brainwashed by the Red Skull to serve HYDRA became this after Captain America: Steve Rogers, which featured a version of HYDRA Cap who was stated to have always been that way, as opposed to merely Brainwashed and Crazy.
