Is Red Skull good?
Red Skull leans on frequent Armor Up Buffs to soak damage and push through hard hitters, his Heavy Attack's Heal Block counters anyone relying on Regeneration, and his Special 2 grants 
Unstoppable that scales with his current Armor Up stacks. Since his whole kit feeds off those Armor Up Buffs, opponents who keep breaking his Armor are a rough matchup, and Shock Immunity, or heavy Shock resistance, shuts off most of his damage since that's where it mostly lives, which keeps him at C.
Strengths
- Frequent, potent Armor Up access reduces incoming damage
- Heavy Attack's Heal Block counters Regeneration-reliant opponents
- Special 2 grants Unstoppable that scales with his Armor Up stacks
Weaknesses
- Opponents who constantly break his Armor are a bad matchup
- Shock Immune or heavily Shock-resistant opponents shut down most of his damage
