Line 26:
* [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke]]: In the [[Ultimate Marvel]] Universe, most of the superpeople in that universe are the result of people trying to recreate the Super-Soldier Serum that made Cap.
** In the regular Marvel verse, [[Wolverine|Weapon X]] is really Roman Numerals and is actually Weapon '''10''', and the Super Solider Serum that made Cap was actually Weapon '''1'''.
* [[Fights Like a Normal]]: Many people make the mistake of assuming Cap is just a well trained guy who is really good at fighting because he can't hurl tanks like the Hulk or shrug off cannon fire like Thor. However, while Steve does primarily use hand to hand along with his shield, he is ''NOT'' a normal. His physical abilities are not something humans can gain through training and he is technically superhuman. See [[Badass Abnormal]] above.
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Steve was originally a skinny kid who sold newspapers, and when WWII started, recruiters initially told him he was too frail and sickly to serve. But Steve's desire to serve his country knew no bounds, and one recruiter knew of a government project that was looking for volunteers... The rest, as they say, is history.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Part of what makes Cap so formidable: he backs up his physique and fighting ability with a sharp tactical mind and leadership skills. There's a reason he's been the Avengers' leader pretty much since the day he joined.
Line 33:
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] -- Cap can pretty much do anything with his shield besides make it stand up and bark.
* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: There is a reason why Steve's the moral center of the [[Marvel Universe]].
* [[Living MacGuffin]]: Steve sometimes serves as this due to being the only sucesssuccess from Erskine's project rebirth procedure. The only samples of the complete super-soldier formula and treatment are contained in his tissues. Since Erskine's completed formula can enhance anyone to the peak of human perfection while also removing any congenital defects/flaws whileand granting enhanced longevity and recover, there's a reason so many have sought to capture Steve to recreate the Project Rebirth process. Variants of the Super Soldier serum have been used to create the likes of Luke Cage and The Sentry who are straight up demi-god and god level powerful though for various reasons their cases were flukes or the original process was destroyed.
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]] -- Cap's shield is pretty much unbreakable and invincible. It also serves for both offense and defense, since Cap can throw it to attack his enemies from long range or beat them with it in close combat. Its unique alloy even makes it able to damage enemies that might otherwise be immune to physical harm-the iron in it is harmful to demons, the vibranium causes pain to energy-based creatures, etc.
* [[Military Superhero]]: Formerly, during World War II.
