At some point, he promised the casket in a trade with Loki for Loki to steal a newly unveiled Vibranium powered Arc Reactor unveiled in Paris by Tony Stark. During this event, the villains crossed paths with Thor, Spider-Man and Black Widow. After Loki used the casket to defeat these heroes, Red Skull used the stolen Arc Reactor to power the casket and betray Loki, beating him to the floor.
