I leave for work, then come back 11 hours later to see all this Cap-related stuff all over the wiki... https://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/theamazingworldofgumball/images/8/86/Confuse.gif https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/ryuu-zone/images/e/e3/Lol.gif

Anyway, the fact that you're both applying real world science/logic to a fictional universe (and one such as Marvel nonetheless) baffles me. Applying real world science/logic to superhero comic books rarely, if ever, works (especially where superpowers are concerned).

Cap has never moved anywhere near supersonic speeds let alone hypersonic speed; I cannot remember hearing or seeing a situation where Cap has run at the speed of sound, so I'm really not sure where they got that stat from... As for being able to dodge gunfire (and the like), when you consider that characters such as Daredevil, Black Widow, Taskmaster and even Hawkeye (all of whom are below Cap in all stats, Black Widow and Hawkeye in particular) have also been known and shown to be able to evade gunfire, this feat seems less impressive relatively speaking. Also, considering that many DC peak humans have also been shown to be able to evade gunfire, it would appear that being able to do such a feat is within the realms of a peak human. But all of these discrepancies boil down to one thing: the writers. Characters are always given set limits, but how far they're pushed (whilst still maintaining a Willing Suspension of Disbelief) all depends on how the writer decides to portray the character. I mean, Cap has defeated the Hulk, a character who so far outstrips him physically it's not even funny. But only an idiot would put them in the same class.

Enough of a formulated sentence for you BraveHeart...? https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/ryuu-zone/images/a/a9/Laugh.gif
