![]() ![]() ![]() Marvel premiered their power charts with the second set of Marvel trading cards in 1991. While a peak human individual can't lift a ton, they can get close. In the Marvel Universe, peak human describes a person who is in perfect physical condition. The best way to investigate this idea is to look at the phrase "peak human" and use the resources that Marvel has given readers to measure his power levels. For a long time, fans have wondered whether Steve Rogers is superhuman. In many ways, the original Captain America is like Marvel's Superman, except he doesn't have the laundry list of powers that the Man of Steel is associated with. That said, MCU Bucky was never Captain America, so that doesn't count. In the MCU, however, Bucky was given a version of the Super Soldier serum by the Russians, so he had superpowers. However, using his left arm, he could beat Steve Rogers in an arm wrestling match. The Infinity Formula doesn't give superhuman abilities and although his cybernetic arm does give him super strength and speed on that side, it's not really a superpower, per se. Now, technically, Bucky has no superpowers. His physical abilities were amazing, though, and he was more than a match for anyone that he fought. Bucky Barnes was always rather acrobatic back in WWII, but as Captain America, he was much more of a ground-and-pound fighter. After Cap was able to redeem the Winter Soldier, Bucky became Captain America and his Russian enhancements helped him rise to the challenge.īucky was a different Cap than Steve. They replaced his arm with a powerful cybernetic one, giving him superhuman strength with that arm and he was dosed with the Infinity Formula, which slowed his aging to a crawl and physically enhanced him to peak human strength and speed. Captain America's first sidekick was never imbued with special powers before he was found by the Russians, but once they found him that changed. However, rules are made to be broken and writer Ed Brubaker brought Bucky back as the Winter Soldier in 2005, 60 years after his death in Timely Comics. ![]() In fact, it seemed like a rule that Bucky stayed dead. In the comics, Bucky Barnes stayed dead for a very long time. Peak Human Strength, Agility, And Endurance.MCU Captain America is definitely a superhuman he can do things that even other versions of Steve Rogers can't. In Infinity War, Cap's fight against the Black Order at the beginning of the movie without his vibranium shield showed just how formidable he is as well. The way he could take shots from Iron Man in Captain America: Civil War showed that he definitely had superhuman bones because there's no way Iron Man wouldn't turn a normal man's skeleton into Swiss cheese with one shot, even if he wasn't trying. Age Of Ultron had him whip a motorcycle over his head like it was nothing, and his ability to actually hurt Ultron's drones and Ultron himself is more proof of his super strength. There's also the scene where he holds back a helicopter, which isn't something someone without superhuman strength could do. In Captain America: Winter Soldier, the way he was able to shrug off hits from the Winter Soldier's cybernetic arm was a pretty big indication that he was stronger and tougher than a person. This lineup is clearly designed to synergize with the MCU, and MacKay - one of Marvel's best writers - is certain to pull it off.Examples of this came in his fight against Thor and Iron Man in Avengers, as well as the battle against the Chitauri. This new Avengers team largely consists of major characters in the MCU's Multiverse Saga both Captain America and Captain Marvel are soon to star in their own movies, Scarlet Witch and Vision have played important roles, and Thor Odinson became the first MCU hero to star in four solo films. The decision is, of course, likely shaped by out-of-universe factors. If this is indeed an attempt to establish a core group in popular culture, then the decision to use Sam Wilson's Captain America is all the more significant. In this case, it consists of the Trinity - Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor - with notable additions. Villa, the roster feels like an attempt to establish a central Avengers team in the same kind of way the Justice League has an iconic " seven" lineup. Written by Jed MacKay and featuring art by C.F. The new Avengers lineup is a particularly interesting one: Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Thor, Iron Man, and of course Captain America. ![]()
