Oh puh-leeze. As though regular soldiers today aren't heroic for wanting to do their part, however small, even if personally they don't actually change the game. It's called being part of something bigger than yourself.

Sure, part of Steve's motivations come from his feelings of uselessness (which are pretty depressing, since throughout the whole movie we never really see him overcome his rock-bottom self-worth and lack of self-preservation, and god that hurts because he's so much more than that), but that doesn't make him less heroic. That's all he had to be heroic about.

Like, Tony and Bruce had the "privilege" (that sounds wrong but I can't think of how else to put it -- it's a privilege for them as characters rather than as people) of being responsible for gigantic world-destroying super-powerful problems that they personally needed to fix and had the power to fix them. Steve was a poor kid from 1940s Brooklyn who wasn't powerful or intelligent or educated or wealthy enough to cause any problems that he needed to fix or do things no one else could do. He quite simply had nothing to offer except his willingness to help until the serum, because he's not a billionaire or corporate leader or a brilliant engineer or a genius scientist with a reputation and access to military projects and funding.
