By the second film, when Madame Simza commends his scanning skills, Holmes describes it as "my curse."

* Crops up a few times in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]]:

** In ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger|Captain America the First Avenger]]'', Cap tries to [[Drowning My Sorrows|drown his sorrows]] {{spoiler|after the death of Bucky}} but discovers that a downside to being a supersoldier is that he can't get drunk.
