[Satsuki]

It added nothing new to what I knew. The only thing he has to offer is his experience and ability to lead the team. That aside he is nothing when compared to bruce or the hulk, nor tony stark, let alone the thunder god in terms of strength. As for intelligence, he is smart but miles behind pretty much all of them. I'm kind of hoping he will prove himself beyond what he has throughout most of the animations and movies so far, and preferably without the use of that Sheild.

Just something that is truly unique amongst the group.

Do we keep forgetting "peak human abilities"? That's pretty impressive.

So is this where we start putting up awesome Captain America moments?

[LUFFY#1 fan]

Really hope one of the next 5 cities is mine for this Avengers event! If it is, I will be going for sure!

[Cyan D. Funk]

I'd like to point out that Cap's one of like the three only people who can wield Mjolnir. The other two are Thor himself and Superman.

Cap also stands out as the only character to stay completely in character during the Civil War.

[WarshipArc]

If we're posting great Cap moments than heres my favorite...

[Kaiolino]

I can't wait for Cyclops to punch Cap in the face this Wednesday. =)

[Neaeran]

There is one early screening in Germany on April 16th. And they screen it in English, too! But you have to vote online for the city who gets to see it and then the winners are picked from the voters ...

And the city i voted for is not even winning. :/ Oh well, 26th April isn't that far when you waited over 3 years.

[Smudger]

Well regardless of what abilities cap has, will he carry the film as much as people like stark? I have my doubts.

Whedon said the movie will mostly be from Cap's POV.

[Satsuki]

And the advertising begins:

[Zack]

Wow. Those commercials were actually really good.

[Smudger]

The movie from his perspective will be cool no doubt. he will bind them together and make a group of impossible people work as a uni, that much is a given, but aside from the predictable role he has, what else will he offer in terms of raw strength or interlectual input.

I think I've just got a bit of a anticap thing going on after seeing the movie. It kind of dirtied the image I had of him. Kind of how I now view the green lantern.

[Kaiolino]

Cap's strategic prowess and ability to lead have always been overexagerated to the point of DEM in the comics (much like Batman's planning). It will probably be the same in the movie.

Dirtied how?

And Cap's shield is VERY POWERUL and made of Vibranium. Given his skills, intellect, and leadership, he is in a FAR higher tier than the SHIELD assassins.

Cap's shield doesn't yield for a reason.

Again, he has peak human abilities. No, he's not Superman strong. (nobody is) But, to compare him to, say Hawkeye and Black Widow, he's stronger, faster, and more endurable. And to compare to their bow/gadgets, he has his Vibranium Shield.

[wolfwoof]

Yeah i'm with Smudge on that one. Feels like pretty much every dingus in the marvel universe has peak human abilities.

But he's supposed to be that way no? He's the every man, well compared to the other world destroyers he's paired up with

We're talking peak on like a DNA level. Hawkeye and Black Widow are at the peak in terms of normal conditioning, but Cap is above any Olympian athlete that ever existed. He can bench press up to 800 pounds.

Example from the movie: He can't get drunk because his metabolism is so high that the alcohol can't take effect.

[Zack]

Basically, he's weak enough to be relatable on an 'everyman' basis, but he's powerful enough that he's still beyond what any normal training could offer people like Black Widow and Batman for that basis. Also, he's essentially the symbol for courage. There's a big difference between seeing a person like Superman stand up to an intergalactic villain and seeing someone like Cap stand up to them.

[Smudger]

I know you are trying to sell him Satsuki, but it's pret much impossible when you stand him next to a thundergod, a gamma powered monster capable of tearing a hole through space with rage alone, and genius playboy that has the leading tech on all weaponry, including that fact he is powered by a miniature reactor that could probably put out enough energy to run a small city. Lol not to mention all of them could wipe out just about every tank, plane, helicopter or super soldier thrown at them, where as cap struggles with very low tier villains. But what irks me most is his weapon. Something that is thrown about constantly yet always somehow makes it back into his hands, thus keeping him from narrow defeat.

By the way wasn't there a weakness shown with vibranium?

there is also a big difference seeing superman lift a skyscraper and seeing cap struggle to flip over a car. Lol

On a serious note though caps biggest asset is his ability to lead people. Aside from that he doesn't have much against most legendary heros and villains.
