For years , Red Skull was trammel on Vormir , ineffective to obtain one of the six Infinity Stones , even though it was there for the taking . InInfinity War , Red Skull excuse that he guides others to a treasure he can never possess . It ’s see that the Red Skull ca n’t give up what he loves because he ’s trapped on a derelict planet , but the explanation for why he can never have the Soul Stone may go deeper than that . In Marvel Comics , the Red Skull is simply incapable of love .
InCaptain America # 298 , it was disclose that as a 30 - year - honest-to-goodness drifter in Germany , Red Skull thought he had fallen in love with a woman , but after she spurned his affections , he attack her out of furor . age after , he realized that what he really feel was just lust . The Red Skull has never loved anyone , including his own daughter , Sin . Red Skull ’s loveless relationship with his daughter is part of what caused her to grow up as a mean , vengeful woman despairing to earn her father ’s approval . As Red Skull has explained multiple times , the only matter that ’s ever mattered to him is his hatred of Steve Rogers . passion has never entered his mentation .
The MCU never had a chance to research this facet of the graphic symbol , but given thatCaptain America : The First Avengerseemed to have a mostly comic book accurate depiction of the Red Skull , it does seem potential that he , like his laughable ledger counterpart , has no electrical capacity for sexual love . This mean that there was no way that Red Skull could ever obtain the Soul Stone , even if he did find out a mode to tempt someone to Vormir . GivenRed Skull ’s comic book account , it seems perfectly fitting - and perhaps even poetical - that the Soul Stone , an object that need someone to give up what they love , is watched over by someone whose own inability to have intercourse make them incompetent of ever obtaining it .
