Steve Rogers

Steve Rogers

Cpt. Steven "Steve" Rogers a.k.a. Captain America, or more recently, Nomad, was rejected by the U.S. Army during World War II due to numerous health problems. He ultimately volunteered for Project Rebirth where he received the Super-Soldier Serum developed by Dr. Abraham Erskine. The serum greatly enhanced his frail body to the peak of human physicality. As the Sentinel of Liberty, alongside his best friend Bucky Barnes and the Invaders, Rogers and others helped the allies win the war, but not before he was lost at sea and frozen in ice in a form of suspended animation for decades. He was thawed out in the modern age to continue the battle alongside his new allies the Avengers. Steve is loyal to no politician or government and instead upholds the "timeless principles of freedom, equality, and justice of the American Dream".

Powers

Super-Soldier Serum

The Super-Soldier Serum (SSS) metabolized and permanently enhanced all of Rogers' bodily functions to the peak of human efficiency, and is the most perfect human in existence.[204] Dr. Abraham Erskine has stated Rogers' enhanced condition is "second to none," and described its potential as being "the next step in human evolution," while still remaining completely human, but often called the "perfect man."

Artificially Enhanced Physiology

Rogers' enhanced physiology has no superhuman powers, although as a result of the Super-Soldier Serum, he was transformed from a frail young man into a "perfect" specimen of human development and conditioning. He is classified as enhanced human. He possesses powers superior to any Olympic-level athlete that has ever competed. Also, the Super-Soldier Serum physiology is definite, meaning that if Rogers choose to live an unhealthy lifestyle, none of his powers would weaken, and the Super-Soldier Serum in his bloodstream will keep him in top physical form. Dr. Keith Kincaid theorized that as long as some of the serum remains in Rogers' body, it would be able to reproduce itself and sustain Rogers' powers.

Peak Human Strength

Rogers' physical strength is enhanced to the very peak of human potential, making him consistently able to sustain 800 lbs (363 kg) lifts, and bench pressing 1,100 pounds (500 kg) as a warm-up, along with lifting 1 ton. It's unclear if the 1,100 pounds stands for the full set of weights or only one half of the load. Taking into account that it was a warm-up; it can be considered that Steve is able to push his body much further.

Peak Human Speed

Rogers can move at speeds equal to that of the absolute finest human athlete, being capable of running at a sustained 30 miles per hour (48 kilometers per hour). He was able to complete a 40-yard dash in 3.82 seconds (20.94 miles per hour), or a mile "in just over a minute".

Peak Human Durability

Rogers' durability is amplified to the highest human potential making him very durable. This has allowed him to survive many forms of extensive punishment throughout his career that would injure an ordinary human.

Peak Human Agility

Rogers' agility is amplified to the highest human potential.

Peak Human Reflexes

Rogers' reflexes are amplified to the highest human potential, and he is said to have a reaction time ten times faster than a normal person. He has been shown to dodge gunfire from multiple shooters simultaneously.

Peak Human Stamina

Rogers' body automatically eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in his muscles; giving him exceptional endurance.

Peak Healing Recovery

Rogers' healing speed and efficiency is enhanced peak ability, meaning he heals faster than the average person. The white blood cells and Super-Soldier Serum in his body are efficient enough to fight off most microbe, foreign body, and other pathogens from his body, giving him a high immunity to all infections and diseases.

Peak Human Mental Processing

Rogers' mental performance is greatly enhanced allowing it to operate in the most advanced and rapid manner possible. His mind also processes information quickly, giving him an accelerated learning aptitude; for example, Beast once stated that Rogers can learn and master any weapon within seconds.

Peak Human Senses

Rogers' senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are enhanced to the highest limits of human potential.
