I like Cap because he is the weakest Avenger, but still the leader.

Black Widow has spy tech and Hawkeye has super aiming.

Cap is just peak human with a shield.

Cap is a lot more than peak human. Did you see infinity war? I don't want to post spoilers but there is a scene that no one else pulled off towards the end.

I know what scene you mean. Steve Rogers "held back" Thanos. But Thanos didn't look like he was even trying. Like he was simply just going to push Cap out of the way. And then... well. OHKO.

Eh yeah it happened but it shouldn't have. That part annoyed me as a comic reader. He is not supposed to be that strong. They just did it cause it looked cool even though it doesn't make sense

That scene was cool and it is exactly why I like Captain America. He's an ant compared to his enemies and allies, but if he ain't the last man standing it's because he already dead.

After I posted that I realized that. I forgot that it is actually misleading. Or in the trailer it was misleading compared to how it plays out in the movie

hinting that he's probably stronger than peak human
also like think about how like grandmas can pick up cars when they enter "the zone" to save their grandkids

probably something similar but more since it's Captain America

The helicopter thing was cool, but yeah so bizarre that Cap was able to do it. How much pulling force can a helicopter output.

Ever since the MCU started, Cap has been my favorite. Yeah he isn't the most OP or unique member but his leadership and morality is tops.

Plus he gets awesome scenes like helicopter and Thanos. And his hair and facial hair in Infinity War. Lord I do believe I have the vapors.

Its been pretty heavily implied that Cap and Stark for that matter are more than just who they are as heroes.

That Cap could hold Thanos back like that at all says as much.

Case in point, Gamora in the MCU should be stronger than Cap is. Her feats of strength outweigh his. And yet when Thanos throws her off the cliff he doesnt struggle at all to do so despite his hesitation.

He may not have been trying hard with Cap, but he also had no reason to hold back.

Plus you also have to consider that he didnt expect Cap to hold him back. IIRC he just knocked Panther on his ass no problem and when he goes for Cap, Cap pushes back. That was no accident and I dont think its just to give Cap his Cap moment.

He's surpassed peak human through the MCU, weather this is through training or just bad writing I don't know, but the fact people don't pick up on this baffles me.

Captain America was fighting Spider-man in that movie

Spider-man is capable of lifting 20 tons. I'm pretty sure Captain America can't lift anywhere near that, yet somehow they were equal in the movie.

Power levels in the MCU are wildly inconsistent. For instance in the first Avengers, Iron Man goes toe to toe with Thor in the forest. In IW, Thor withstands the concentrated power of a small fucking star.

Id say this has more to do with an inconsistency on who holds back and why.

Cap going toe to toe with Spiderman logically be a Spidey win, but Spidey was only just superheroing for a max of 6-12 months at that point. Makes sense Cap could stalemate him (and everybody was holding back that fight anyway)

Then with Thor v Iron Man, Thor simply wasnt trying to end him. Thor could have ripped Tonys armor apart pretty fast. Why he didnt is the real question. Thor had no connection to these people and he wouldnt have had to kill Stark just to put him out of commission.

Odin is dead, Thor is now the Allfather.

Thor literally gets a massive power boost in comics when Odin is gone, so it isn't a leap to assume the same happens in the films.

Lifting strength has little to do with a fight. Cap's superior in fighting skills. Same reason he beat Spidey in the comics.

So you're saying if a hamster has superior fighting skills against an elephant, it can win?

And what happened to Spider-man's spidey sense? He should be able to see Captain America's punches in slow motion.

MCU Cap is stronger than comic book Cap, he was only slightly weaker than Spidey

I would also like to point out Cap gorilla pressed Iron Man like he was a flimsy pillow in Civil War(probably because it was bts lol) & who knows how much the suit + Stark's weight is. He ain't just a peak human.

MCU heroes are as powerful as the story demands it.

Consider that Iron Man and Cap are able to 1v1 Thanos ever so briefly in Infinity War, but they had a hard time dealing with Hulk in Age of Ultron, the same Hulk who got rekt by Thanos in Infinity War.

I think they made it pretty clear that Cap had the superior skills and experience. Spidey grabbed Bucky's arm like it was absolutely nothing. BP tried that same shit twice and he was putting tremendous force to hold it.

From Ragnarok, he's now the God of Thunder, so it's definitely not the same power level from Avengers 1. Also, pretty sure Thor was holding back.

Wait, when did Cap go up against Hulk? Also, it's been 3/2 years since AoU/CW. Tony is constantly upgrading his suits. I don't see it being improbable that he'd be able to take on Thanos.

Not like he actually took him on though because he was getting bodied pretty badly iirc.

I think it's pretty clear that they core team has gotten stronger since their initial showings.

-Tony has consistently made better and better suits.
-Cap has gotten more agile and stronger the more he trains and the more experience he gets
-Thor has either stopped holding back or has literally gotten stronger through the death of Odin/Hela
-Hulk has become more intelligent/is becoming "one" with Bruce.

Out of all of them, the biggest one you need to stretch is with Cap cause it is kind of inconsistent, but it might also be that he unintentionally holds back until he get really desperate or something.
