In early comics the names of heroes and villains where indeed translated into German. For example, Spider Man was called "Die Spinne" (The Spider) and Iron Man "Der Eiserne" (The Ironclad). Later all characters kept their original names. I think that's the primary reason why Cap and the Skull (and every other Marvel-Character) keep their original titles. My opinion is, that the original titles just sound better and that they keep them because for Germans, English words just sound cooler :D In fact, we use many English words, like cool, chill and yeah, also f*** :D But I wish they wouldn't change the titles of movies. I would understand if they would just translate them to German, but they just rename it! Thor: The Dark World was changed into Thor: The Dark Kingdom and Captain America: The Winter Soldier was changed into Captain America: The Return of The First Avenger, which doesn't make any sense to me and many other German fans. I hope I answered your question well :D
