the levels of supervillainy evil in Marvel is just so absurdly high - even just going by WWII threats (since we can't compare Hitler with Thanos or other godlike entities, since they are on different playing fields).

so yeah.. Red Skull was trained by Hitler but became even more evil and depraved than Hitler, according to some writers in Marvel. According to SOME writers though. But consider this: Cronal considered Palpatine "too soft", but both are regarded as Pure Evil.

And here's another idea: just because Red Skull exceeds Hitler (maybe), doesn't mean that they can't both be Pure Evil. One just has even more evil on his resume, but in terms of both being wholly wicked, they're the same. It's just that one has even more evil deeds to his name.

And remember, Red Skull has been active as a threat in Marvel for WAY longer than Hitler, and so has had more time to do evil and cause harm.
