George Maxon was an American aircraft manufacturer. He was killed in 1941 by Nazi spies, and a spy known as the Red Skull took his identity as a means of carrying out sabotage within the United States.[1][2][note 1]

Notes

  1. In Captain America Comics, Maxon himself is the Red Skull, an American Nazi sympathizer. Tales of Suspense retcons this story to what is written here. The name given to him in Suspense, John Maxon, is deprecated.
