EDITOR'S OPINION
Since this is such a pretty big VC I think I will keep this review fairly short...My choices are pretty much a tie of Earl Boen, Steve Blum and Peter Cullen (though I am more thinking of his Spiderman 81 series voice, granted his work on Amazing Friends wasn't bad though). Most of the other Red Skull voices are pretty good though, the weakest is probably David Warner when he voiced Red Skull in his Cameo appearance in the 4th season of the 1994 Spiderman series. Normally I would genuinely respect David Warner's work and I know its a brief cameo but still it does feel to be a bit of a miscast here. But still like I said before I liked most of them but I am going with Earl Boen, Steve Blum and Peter Cullen the most.

I'm going to go outside the popular choice and vote for Keith Ferguson. I like his German accent the best.

If Charlie used his Cobra Commander voice with a German accent, pefection.
Kinda feels like he was told "Just use a voice for a villain...eh good enough"

@Music Meister Yeah, that "German Cobra Commander" would've been ever better! :D

Charlie would've made a great Red Skull with more material; but Steve Blum is the best Red Skull of all time, followed closly by Hugo Weaving (Not here) :)

Gee, the Super Hero Squad's really in love with Charlie, ain't it?
Don't get me wrong, I'm usually a fan of Adler's work, but the voice director for this franchise obviously isn't using him to his full potential; his characters here are starting to sound rather samey.

I just wish Hugo Weaving had done a voice for RS aside from the movie. He made the Red Skull what he was in that film.

Blum sounds generic here. It's just the same guttural voice he uses in all his other roles (Wolverine, BlackWarGreymon, etc.).
Cullen sounded genuinely nefarious and Ferguson made the character sound properly menacing.

Why are over half the Red Skull voices from Spider-Man shows? I don't ever recall the Skull and Spider-Man ever interacting with each other. I guess Captain America has never gotten a show, huh?
Well, Blum I guess.

@NCZ I guess he did ok with what he had, but Red Skull wasn't a serious villain as usual, and Mark handles serious villains much better anyways. I simply blame that atrocity of a Marvel animated series.
ReplyAquafox84 said at 2:03 PM on Fri Aug 12 2011
@pokemastanumba1 how do you actually define "Serious Villains"? If you mean like Ozai or Dr. Klaw I'd agree but some of his best performances weren't exactly serious. I just mean as Joker and Hobgoblin.
Replypokemastanumba1 said at 12:35 AM on Thu Sep 22 2011
@Aquafox84 That's a good question.
I would personally say that it mostly depends on who you're specifically referring to. Of course, each one almost always has a stereotypical monotone deep voice and threatening/intimidating appearance. That's not to say that even the most serious ones can't have their moments of comedic relief though.

Peter Cullan - Actually pretty good.
David Warner - Meh.
Earl Boen - Better than David.
Cedric Smith - I actually kinda like t.
Mark Hamill - Sometimes a little deep, but overall pretty good.
Steven Blum - Sometimes a little light, sometimes he slips into his regular speaking voice. But when he gets it right, like in the clip, he is perfect.
Keith Ferguson - I don't really like his accent. Could be better.
Charlie Adler - Just his Dr. Doom voice. Meh.
