HELLO!

[(Anonymous)]

Can anyone tell me how much damn time happened between Captain America being discovered (and revived) from the ice AND Loki appearing/The Avengers movie?

I looked at the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline thing. But all I can gather is that it apparently happened on the same day????

Re: HELLO!

[(Anonymous)]

They never said but given that SHIELD had enough time to make an entirely new outfit for him, I'd say it was more than a day. That or Coulson had that laying around from an old cosplay of his and Fury asked if he could borrow it.

Re: HELLO!

[(Anonymous)]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: HELLO!

[nightscale]

I've seen it speculated in fandom that it's like a week(two at most) but I've not seen any canon source on that. But from what I can gather it's not been very long so I can honestly buy it only being a week since Steve woke up to Loki appearing.

Re: HELLO!

[kaijinscendre]

Jesus, same week? WHY ARE THERE NOT MORE STEVE PTSD FICS? I mean, he finds out everyone he knows is dead and then two days later he is fighting aliens with a bunch of people he doesn't know?!!?

Re: HELLO!

[nightscale]

I know! I mean when I saw Avengers for the first time I figured it was something like two weeks or there abouts(since it looked as though he had been moved out of SHIELD holding but hadn't really settled anywhere at all and still looked to be drifting a bit) but it only being a week really puts a lot of things into perspective and made me feel so sorry for him. Dude had it rough.

Re: HELLO!

[kaijinscendre]

Damn Captain America 2 for making me actually like Captain America. DAMN IT TO HELL!

Re: HELLO!

[tabaqui]

It seems like it was more than that? I mean - he has an apartment, he has a gym membership, he's wandering around New York and such.... No way he was doing that the *same day*. Seems like SHIELD would talk to him and debrief and such for at *least* a week or two, and then get him some kind of pay/stipend/whatever, find him the apt.... I'd say a month.

Re: HELLO!

[cassandraoftroy]

I think the "Fury's Big Week" comics suggest that it's a matter of days, but it's been a while since I read them. That might give you a starting point for at least a semi-canon reference, though.

Re: HELLO!

[nightscale]

+1

I think that's the source I've seen mentioned in fandom, I've not read it myself but I'm tempted to check it out.

Re: HELLO!

[diet_poison]

If you're talking about the "before the Avengers" section, I don't think there was any specified time period for that; it could be any time between "Fury's Big Week" and The Avengers movie events. Granted, I do not know exactly how long that was; it might have been really short. But I got the sense that it wasn't because the beginning of the Avengers felt like it happened after at least a slight lull.

Captain America question

[(Anonymous)]

Can someone explain to me the extent of Captain America's strength (both comics and MCU)? I know his strength is supposed to be a human's at peak performance, but I've seen it mentioned he has faster healing, immunity to the effects of things like alcohol, etc. What's true, and what isn't?

Re: Captain America question

[kaijinscendre]

And then from the wiki:
Enhanced Strength: Captain America's physical strength is enhanced to beyond human, and is sufficiently strong enough to lift up to 4 tons.
Enhanced Speed: Captain America can run at a speed between 70-120km/36-75 miles per hour.
Enhanced Healing: He is able to heal broken bones and torn muscles "in a day or two",[19] while bullet and knife puncture wounds heal in "a matter of hours" or "just a couple of minutes respectively. He has even healed from a broken neck, broken limbs and holes through his chest in a week. He has also become naturally immune to deadly poisons and illnesses.

Pretty sure he is powered down in the MCU though.
Disease Resistance: Captain America is immune to all Earthly diseases, infections and disorders, and has never become ill after receiving the Super-Soldier Serum. He's impervious to gas attacks, poisons, and nerve-toxins of any kind and completely resistant to diseases like anthrax, smallpox and HIV. His immune system is so powerful that "a half a pint of tetrodotoxin" shows no ill effects.

Re: Captain America question

[nightscale]

I'm only an inch taller than pre-serum Steve? Good god I feel tiny.

Re: Captain America question

[kaijinscendre]

I bet you can't even lift 2000lbs. Weaksauce.

Re: Captain America question

[nightscale]

I caaaaaaaaan't, there go my dreams of being a super-soldier. :(

Re: Captain America question

[(Anonymous)]

HEY! I am a little shorter (a quarter of an inch, but who's counting, I say 5'4) than preserum Steve, and I consider my self average. I fortunately weigh more...but...don't feel tiny!

Re: Captain America question

[ariakas]

Oh lol, I see better than Captain America!

Re: Captain America question

[(Anonymous)]

Ok, thank you! He's more super-powered than I thought he was!

Re: Captain America question

[(Anonymous)]

Whoa, seems like they went a bit overboard with the pre-serum weight there. I'm that height and if I weighed that little, I might be dead.

Re: Captain America question

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't say it's too bad.

http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/heightweight.html (Yes, the nearby examples in this one were female, but Steve was tiny!)

Re: Captain America question

[selenitia]

I was 5'9 and 96 lbs when I graduated high school and I was in decent health. So, not as overboard as you'd think. Was a walking stick though, ridiculous metabolism.

Re: Captain America question

[ariakas]

It depends on your bone structure and general body shape, of course, but being 5'4" and under 100lbs isn't that abnormal. That was virtually every single one of my short, thin friends before they hit puberty. You just have to have absolutely no muscle and no extra body fat. It's definitely a little under a healthy weight, but it's not Auschwitz mode.

(For the record I've been 118 lbs at over 5'10" and would have passed the military pushups, situps, and run standards - for men - with flying colours. It's actually way, way easier to run distance and do bodyweight exercises like pushups and chinups at extremely low body weights than it is when you're bulked up. The army doesn't want you to do bench press and sprints, so I don't why that's the metric they'd give for pre and post-op Steve.)

Re: Captain America question

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, horseshit. Cap has peak human abilities, they've HAMMERED on that in canon. Four tons? What wiki is this?
