- See main article: The Skull (Reality Z-25 31-H)
One version of the Skull was active in the early 21st century in Reality Z-25 31-H, where he faced Kaza and Gwenna on multiple occasions. Seemingly a solo operator, he had considerable means and a small army of fascist mercenaries at his command. (COMIC: The Danger, the Diamond, and the Dowager)
Behind the scenes
The Skull is a public-domain character, who originated in a Lt. Drake of the U.S. Naval Intelligence comic story published in Fox's Mystery Men Comics #15. There, he was depicted as a Nazi agent; though he did not speak with a German accent unlike the agents under his command, he referred to Germany as his Fatherland. The Skull was described in the opening blurb as a “strange character”, but no further details were given on his identity or nature, with it remaining unclear whether his trademark skull face was a mask or somehow his actual face. This original Skull wielded an “electron-ray gun” capable of melting through a metal lore, and he wore a green suit, red cape, brown fedora hat and yellow gloves, instead of the all-black ensemble he displays in Kaza's Mate, Gwenna. Indeed, Jay Epps's authorial comment upon introducing his version of the Skull in The Danger, the Diamond, and the Dowager clarified that there was no intended continuity with the original Skull.
