So the movie Captain America has superior abilities to its comics counterpart ? Isn't is almost always the other around when it comes to superheroes, with movie adaptations being watered-down imitations of the original characters ? Thor and Scarlet Witch for example are heavily nerfed versions of the supernatural powerhouses they are in the comics, same for movie Hulk who even at its peak of rage can't seem to muster 10% of the original's might.

So yeah, I had good reasons to believe the same logic applied to Captain America as well. But after checking his sheet on Marvel Database, I do remember a number of scenes where he displayed amazing feats of raw that its comic counterpart never did, so the power relatonship does seem reversed in his case, with MCU Captain being distinctly superhuman while the Earth 616 mainstream version is only peak human.

Kind of a disappointment honestly ^ ^; Why call it "Super Serum" and make such a fuss about the character, when half of his teammates could squash him like a bug ? I guess because he represents the potential greatness of human beings in much the same way Batman does in DC, even though they are weak as newborn babes compared to most superhumans.
