Even though Captain America is one of the greatest heroes in the Marvel Universe, even he knows that, physically speaking, he is the weakest Avenger.
Despite the fact that Captain America is one of the greatest heroes in the Marvel Universe with a legacy that transcends time and space, he is constantly thrown in his face that he is the weakest member of the team by some of the others avengers– a hurtful and demoralizing opinion that’s actually shared by Captain America himself as he admitted he was, in fact, the weakest Avenger.
Steve Rogers aka Captain America became the iconic star-studded super soldier after volunteering for an experimental program during World War II that made him the perfect weapon for the Allied forces against the Nazis. While Captain America was the champion the Allied nations hoped he would be, his career came to a devastating end after he and his sidekick, Bucky, attempted to shoot down a Nazi warplane as it flew through the mountains. tunes. During this mission, Bucky apparently sacrificed his life to shoot down the plane while Captain America was thrown from the plane and landed in freezing waters where he was frozen in a block of ice and, for years , was presumed dead. Eventually, Captain America was discovered and revived to get straight back into action as a member of the Avengers, though despite his impressive track record, Cap didn’t quite earn all the respect he had earned over the course of his career. his years of service.
In avengers #22 by Stan Lee and Don Heck, the Avengers are forced to disband after the villainous duo Enchantress and the original, non-Luke Cage Power Man frame them for a number of crimes in New York City. However, Captain America wasn’t going to sit down and went on a solo mission to clear the Avengers name. While in disguise, Cap infiltrated Enchantress’ lair and forced a confession from her and Power Man before being violently confronted by the two villains. During his fight with Power Man, who was clearly much stronger than Captain America as he had all of Wonder Man’s power but with an added bonus of villainy, Captain America finds a way to get the better of the seemingly superior warrior. Rogers said to Power Man, who hadn’t stopped speaking ill of the Avengers since their fight began, “Do you still think the Avengers is an easy game, Power Man? And remember, you fight the weak!”.
In a previous avengers problem, the Avengers believe Captain America is dead after being sent flying through the timestream by Kang. While his teammates came to terms with Rogers’ apparent death, Giant-Man says the void created by his absence would leave a lasting impact on the team even if Captain America was the weakest of them all. It marked the first time that Captain America was considered “weak” in the eyes of his fellow soldiers – an idea that seems baffling to modern readers given Captain America’s enduring legacy over the decades. In current continuity, Captain America is still the only Avenger that Captain Marvel doesn’t want to fight because his opinion of her carries the most weight over all the other members of the team. Plus, Captain America’s presence makes the younger generation of heroes dazzled, including Hazmat who recently went on a mission with Cap and thought the whole experience was incredibly cool.
Not only did Captain America leave an impact on the earthly heroes of the Marvel Universe, but also on intergalactic heroes with guardians of the galaxy‘s Vance Astro being the most obvious example. However, even if Captain America is the gold standard of superheroism, he’s physically one of the weakest heroes in the Marvel catalog – and this first issue of the avengers proves he knows it.
