Here’s an animated geek-fest that just might be worth checking out, if not for the voice talent then at least to see a Nazi supervillian… Article by mtv.com.

Now this is a dream come true talent roster for geeks everywhere. Marvel is prepping a kid-friendly animated TV series for the Cartoon Network entitled “Super Hero Squad.” The cute & cuddly character designs are born of a Hasbro toy line bearing the same name. I somehow doubt that Captain America will be pierced by a sniper’s bullet in this series.
Over on MTV Splash Page, Brian Warmoth reports that last week’s San Diego Comic-Con brought some serious casting for the series. A veritable smorgasbord of geek culture icons will be joining the voice cast, including George Takei (“Star Trek“), Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”), Robert Englund (“Nightmare on Elm Street”), James Marsters (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer“), Greg Grunberg (“Heroes”) and Adrian Pasdar (“Heroes”). Oh… and the one and only Luke Skywalker — Mark Hamill, who will voice Nazi supervillain/severe burn victim Red Skull.
Yes, you read it right: this kids show will feature a Nazi supervillain. Check out the full details in Brian’s story over on Splash Page.
