Line 9:
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: The Super Soldier serum enhances Cap's physical abilities to the greatest possible for an ordinary human, but it doesn't actually elevate him to superhuman levels in any particular physical category. However this only applies to individual categories of physical performance. Steve has been genetically perfected to be the pinnacle of humanity. Unlike normal athletes who cannot naturally excel in every physical ability, Steve is just above the best humans are capable of in ''every'' physical trait which makes him superhuman by default (he is capable of things normal humans aren't). The Project Rebirth also enhanced his healing and recovery abilities, made him more resistant to drugs and poisons, and slowed his aging drastically. These attribute allowed him to stay alive in a state of suspended on ice for decades.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Cap is one of the friendliest, most easygoing guys you'll ever meet. Granted, once you piss him off...
* [[Big Good]]: Pretty much ''every'' other hero in Marvel looks up to him.
Line 23:
{{quote|I am loyal to nothing, General -- except the Dream.}}
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: In the earliest comics, Cap had a heater-style shield that he couldn't throw; after Timely Comics' rival MLJ (what [[Archie Comics]] was called back then) complained it was too similar to a shield used by one of their characters, Cap was given the familiar disk-shaped one.
▲<-- * [[Empowered Badass Normal]]: Steve isn't superhuman in any particular category ''but'' is superhuman overall as it is not physically possible to excel in every single aspect of physical performance. Athletes make trade-offs to specialize in their respective sport. A long distance runner cannot perform as well as a sprinter. A weightlifter cannot perform as well as a shot-putter. Steve is good at ALL of these things to just above an Olympic level which makes him "barely" superhuman as his physical abilities aren't something humans are naturally capable of. MOD: This is not a trope at ATT. -->
* [[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'''.
