An essay about why 10/10, Steve Rogers should have probably stopped by that lab before he became Captain America.
A short list of things Steve did without actually knowing if he could do them:
- chase a taxi going at least 40mph
- do a running leap over an explosion and certain death to get to bucky
- crash through a window and fall probably 20 stories with a vibranium shield to break his fall
- get shot like three times while on his way to save millions of innocent lives
- grab and pull down a helicopter actively trying to take off
There’s probably more but here’s all we know that Steve knows, at least in Captain America: The First Avenger. It sounds like Dr. Erskine gave Steve a crash course in super soldier serum. We only get about half a sentence of it when Steve says he can’t get drunk. His cells can regenerate at an accelerated rate–it sounds like every chemical reaction in his body is just cranked up to 11.
So basically, Steve has no fucking clue what he’s capable of until he does it.
I bet running a few exercises in that lab in Jersey is sounding pretty good right now, eh Steven?
