Don't comics use "peak human" to handwave why non-superpowered people are doing superpowered things?
Like we'll probably just have to accept that Sam is going to do some impossible things in FatWS and say "peak human."
Steve Rogers was the first but he is one of many Super Soldiers

Yeah. He already does superhuman things in the other movies that would leave any other actual human crippled or dead.
It's always crazy how Sentry came to be. Really wonder if we'll ever see him in the MCU. It's not like he's just a Supes clone or anything, Bob Reynolds may be just as interesting as the Sentry if they introduced him.
Well we're talking comic, not MCU though, right? Depending on the continuity (obviously not Ultimate) Cap isn't technically superhuman other than aging slower, he's just ridiculously peak human and the serum keeps him that way until it wears off. So aside form the aging slower/better thing, it's not totally insane to just work hard enough to stay fit as hell. Being in good shape would make you visibly age better anyway.
Because they're all copying Steve the government ones especially because they're supposed to be his replacement because it's good propaganda
Or their captain America fanboys
Can't wait to watch this in theaters some where in the future.Yeah if you rope in the new expanded Weapon Plus lore there's a lot of wild "super soldier" attempts outside of the serum.
Slayven you forgot an important figure in Super Soldier history in the 60s
Horace Littleton, a SHIELD scientist gone rogue who self-administered a Super Soldier Serum and LSD combo
That's just Patrick Stewart, right?
Initially. I think his origin has been retconned at least once though.
They wanted to cut off her arm as soon as they met her. MVP's death just gave them an excuse. Plus an opportunity to try to extract whatever serum MVP had surely been juicing on.
Because the whole point of Avengers: The Initiative was to show that Captain America is always right, government oversight of superheroes is a bad idea and independent vigilantes with godlike powers are just inherently better people. I still feel bad for Cloud 9...
