Marvel Comics: The Super Soldier Serum Explained | Comics Explained 

"If you guys are interested in that thing" Sir we are interested in anything you have to say about comics

Yes! A list of people who gained powers as a result of exposure to the Super Soldier Serum would be dope! It basically explains most of Marvel’s plotlines

I find Zemo's comment that Steve is the one person that wasn't corrupted by the serum telling. This is a contrast to Tony's quip that everything that is great about Steve comes from "a bottle". Steve really was the conscience behind Captain America.

In the Ultimates Rogers didn’t get all his abilities from the serum, the serum was just the final test. Rogers underwent 6 months of steroids, surgeries, and experimental treatments becoming genetically enhanced before Fury or himself were ever injected with a serum. So, Fury got a serum before Rogers but Rogers was the first Super Soldier.

Man forget that Super Soldier serum, let me hold whatever the Sentry was doing!

It's sad that the actor for John walker is still getting hate for no damn reason 😒

Taskmaster's Photographic Reflexes (in the 2010 Unthinkable series) soft retcons his origin to say that he did also get his powers from a Nazi Variant of the SS Serum, but one that focuses on muscle memorization

You should totally do a video on who else got the Super Soldier Serum.

When Rob summons the power of the Rob Core, says "Let's Begin" and my speakers shake my entire home

Me at 15 in 2008, being the only one of my friends excited to see Emil rush the Hulk on the battlefield in The Incredible Hulk(MCU) because it could serve as a preview of things to come for Captain America at some point.

Nick fury is about 80-85% of what captain america is serum wise. But he Also has tons of military training and is the best spy.

Ah yes. The greatest source of misery for, like, 20 different people.

I would love to see the full list. Not just 616, but the Ultimate and any random AU characters you could find.

I’d like to see a video on all the characters that’s been exposed to a form of the Triple S. That would be cool, knowing the difference between each one, etc. Go for it bro!!!!

Marvel needs to hire you for the introduction for Wolverine and the mutants .

Having the super soldier serum Was originally supposed to be rare now everybody has it which makes it kind of comical

Beyond Omega level: Legos on the floor.

I think in the Amalgam comics; and I may have misunderstood this since it was only a synopsis I read; but Superman was exposed to the serum creating "Super Solider. That's honestly terrifying. Imagine a kryptonian's utmost potential being drawn out.

You missed one vital detail. Logan, or Wolverine, was both Weapon 0 & Weapon X. In other words, he was Patient 0, they took his blood attempting to replicate his healing abilities/long life. I forget what comic that I read that in but it was long ago. Due to the memory blocks from Weapon X, Logan (James Howlett) doesn’t know or remember any of this information. Steve Rogers was Weapon I, there were other “Weapons” in the program between Rogers & Howlett, then Wade Wilson is Weapon XI.

Yes, a video with the various iterations of the super soldier serum would be very informative and appreciated.

Yes talk about everyone who has the serum

Never hit a video as it was uploaded. I am glad you are covering both versions of the SSS.

You know I never understood why they thought binding metal to wolverines skeleton was a good idea. That just makes him a walking lighting rod and easy to drown, why give the guy who can already heal his body in moments a metal skeleton?

I don't like Ultimate's focus on the Super Soldier Serum. Regular Marvel just does it sometimes, which is much better. Not everything has to be Super Soldier related.

Yeah do the video of all of the connections characters with super soldier serum. That would be cool.

The super soldier serum is like everything else about Cap. Unique EXCEPT FOR ALL THESE OTHER THINGS.

Yes please do a video on everyone that has been exposed to the serum

I'd watch an hour long video going over all of the attempts at replicating CA, Falcon and WS got me hyped!

11:11 this picture of The Sentry is WICKED BADASS. I've never seen this before.

It’s also related to the old hulk gamma ray phenomenon theory. It gave you powers based off of your personality. Smart? Leader. Violent? Abomination. Childhood trauma? Hulk. Then you have the balanced Doc Sampson and She Hulk.

Yes please do a list of everyone who has been exposed to the super soldier serum.

Can you cover all of the different weapons that have been created through the weapons plus program? Give explanations for every character, their powers, and what was done to them in the program. I know not all of them are available, but some of the more obscure ones would be cool to learn some more about

It was theorized (in the comics) That Erskine himself was a vital catalyst in the “creation” of Captain America, which is why it can’t be duplicated. Also you didn’t mention The Augmentation Process, which is where John Walker/Not Cap/USAgent got his super strength from (as did Battlestar, who they didn’t f*cking kill).

Rob man, I want the MCU to go back and explain that Nick Fury in the Captin marvel movie was not the original Nick Fury. How sick would it be to find out that Nick was one of the 300 soldiers, had a successful variant of the Super Soldier formula and took over the Howling commando after Cap was lost in the ice. He and the survivors of the 300 became the first members of Sword and Shield. And as he got older (though far slower than anyone else di to his variant) Nick Fury discovered he could build the body doubles to place all over the world to watch and monitor everything, and then used the Skroll and body doubles as his agents. How bad ass would a tv show of Nick's howling comandos be, and an intresting way to how he knows everything and is everywhere.

Definitely do the variants of the serum

He thought it would get him high. 🤣

Well it looks like Peter would have been an excellent candidate to me. His serum is pretty darn spectacular so I’m gonna count him as another success next to cap.

Wow wow wow. Did you just gloss over red skull being Steve's son???? I did not know this. I didn't know this was in any universe.

A list ranking most powerful super soldiers would be a blessing

IIRC Marvel retconed in the fact that the reason the Super Soldier formula worked on Steve Rogers was because he was exposed to something called 'vita- rays' after being given the serum...

Super Soldier Serum + Meth = Superman 👍

What we need is not a "Robcorps" sweatshirts; we need a sweatshirt with Rob's ironic "and yah..."

Definitely Make That Video! "Super Soldier Serum: Here's Who's Been Vaccinated"

For the love of all things funny, please Rob grace us with another RunDown episode

As always, loving the content and your enthusiasm.

That ending though! WOOOOOOOOO!

Rob I do not recall you ever mentioning where sentry/void draws his strength from this in depth .

Is it wrong that I actually started liking John walker from this episode? Obviously he isn't Steve Rogers but he isn't a villain either,he definitely is aggressive and brutal but has up until now is giving his best to fight for what is right.

7:20 THE PUNCH DIMENSION BAYYYBEEEE

This is one of those videos that need to be on speed dial, every once in a while I have to explain this to someone and this is no doubt what they need to hear. Also I want that other video on all the people exposed to the version of Super Soldier serum.

Beyond Omega Level: The Mask!

At 2:54 that looks like a self portrait of Sergio Aragones.

Robs putting in overtime this week. The man🤙🏽

Make a list of all the supersoldiers serum type characters made, I'll watch it for sure.

FOR JEDI ACOLYTE: ROB JEFFERSON, HEAR OUR CRY CHARACTER EXPLAINED/ MAMMOTH MOGUL(ARCHIE), DURGE(STAR WARS) BEYOND OMEGA LEVEL TRIGON(DC), ENERJAK(ARCHIE)

Captain America is my old favorite. Great video.

Steve Roger is the definitive version of The Super Solider

Brightburn Request👿Beyond Omega Level: Kulan Gath!

A video of all the super soldiers would be cool

Let's not forget the the Super Soldier serum was derived from the blood of a guy named John Steele who the Germans managed to capture during World War 1

Hulk was also an attempted super soldier serum experiment..

Wouldn't Like Cage be the example of a variation of the super soldier serum at it's best? He has everything that Cap has plus he's bullet proof.

Rob, please do "Beyond Omega Level: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl"

I know this probably goes without saying but i wanna hear fellow comic readers though on it. I’m torn on the whole “perfect” super soldier serum. I love Captain America as a character, more specifically Steve Rodgers. Sure many people have gotten variants of the serum, but Steve was the perfect one, in part due to serum but mainly because of the type of person he was. Selfless and good. That for me makes the Captain America story much better then just chalking it up to it’s the “perfect” serum. Not saying that’s what Rob did in this video just thought a mention on the character would’ve helped!

Yea a list of all the people who got the super serum would be awesome 👍

That would be an interesting playlisy to watch you should make it happen rob!

Yes give us the rundown of every super solider.

1) THANK YOU for this! 2) Yes, please discuss and list the variations of the SSS.

Nick Fury and many others had LMDs and I forgot timeline for his many lives....🍻

In one of the universes shown to us in What If? there was a version where Abraham Erskine survived and America retained knowledge of the super-soldier serum. They created an army of warriors the world has never seen before. They decapitated Germany by landing in Berlin in 1941, capturing the top of the Reich and shooting down the red skull. Steve frees Eric (magneto) from the Auschwitz concentration camp. He said that only Nazis divide people because of their nation and blood. And these words led Eric all his life. Captain America became his hero and he cherished the dream of a world where all humans and mutants would be equal and live in peace. But what an irony, given what happened next, it then turned out. Steve, along with the rest of the super soldiers, returned to America by ship, but they were attacked by the Nazis who did not surrender and all the super soldiers, including Nick Fury, died. Only Captain America survived. In 1943, the President creates SHIELD under the leadership of Steve Rogers and Steve replenishes it with people he has chosen who were injected with the serum. In 1944, Steve states that the effect of the serum is reset after a while and constant replenishment is needed, and therefore the mass distribution of the serum is impossible and it is barely enough to ensure the efficiency of the SHIELD. In 1948, SHIELD drops super-soldiers in Moscow and beheads communists. The USSR is destroyed. Pax America, the world of America is becoming a reality. In 1956, Steve is elected to the presidency. He states that the super soldier serum does not work on non-white people because they have different genetics and the serum will damage the immune system leading to death. The black population was sick of going on strike against serum segregation, but SHIELD super-soldiers brutally suppressed the protests, and the black riots were shown on TV, which claimed the lives of many soldiers. Blacks, like Asians before, were moved to relocation camps by presidential decree. President Steve Roger gave all Loyal Americans, through the serum, physical perfection, freedom from disease, and long life. If they stopped being loyal, they didn't get their monthly settling doses and lost all upgrades. Now America has become a nation of perfect people, unless of course you are white, and not black, Asian, Arab or Slavic. Reed Richad, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm were gunned down by a Super S.H.I.E.L.D. soldier while attempting to board the ship. Bruce Banner, using gamma rays, developed a way to enhance and prolong the effect of the serum already flowing in his veins. Research declared illegal by Steve's administration. SHIELD agents shot him. Peter Parker, too young to receive a dose of the serum, was bitten by a spider and given spider powers. He began to appear anonymously on TV in order to earn money. When he returned home, he saw the bodies of his Aunt May and Uncle Ben. Paralyzed with terror, he held the body of his aunt in his arms. He was so overcome with grief that he did not listen to his spidery senses ringing and was shot by SHIELD agents who killed his family. Among the bottom were Fank Castle and Clint Barton. The US government considered non-human freaks unworthy of life and hunted them like animals, and Peter was one of them. For decades, Steve Roger has been re-elected again and again, becoming the eternal ruler of the United States, the greatest nation in the world. America stands strong, free from the influence of impure races and inhuman freaks. Atlantis was destroyed by the Americans, along with the entire population for their inhuman nature. Doctor Strange was captured and killed. His magical artifacts were used as weapons, such as against Thor whom they caught, for which they had to sacrifice fifty super-soldiers. Stark Industries has developed a new armor for SHIELD that has made super soldiers even stronger, and the hunt for mutants, rebels and punitive actions against impure races even more effective. The black population throughout the territory of the United States, which has expanded markedly, were forced to either starve without being able to legally feed their families, or break the law and be caught and go to death camps. One of these was Samuel Wilson, who would have been The Falcon. Americans live in an ideology of white supremacy and racism. The mutants of Eric's school, in which he taught them to use their superpowers for good and live in peace, were killed by SHIELD along with his family. So Eric's dream of peace and equality perished, and he became Magneto. "Since people could not accept the mutants as equals, they will accept us as masters!" My guess is that Xavier was revealed as a mutant and killed by SHIELD agents, like Peter and many others. Matten Murdock was eliminated by SHIELD agents. This is the "Perfect" world that was created by the fact that Erskine survived and which he helped build. This is a world ruled by the so-called Steve Rogers. A world ruled by American Nazism, a world where the occupied countries are surrounded by death camps, and people are divided into complete and inferior in terms of skin color and nation. Where Americans regularly carry out bloody punitive acts of intimidation against those who are not under their direct occupation. Where the Americans became the real Aryans and master race.

Please do a list of people have super soldier serum

Hell yeah to a Super Soldier rundown list 💪

Definitely want a list, do it once you get moved and settled in though, no rush. Could be timed well with season finale of Falcon and Winter Soldier

Rob please make a video listing all the weapons plus experiment hosts and all their powers

Do the list of each super soldiers variation, please!

Hell yeah, let’s have a Super Soldier roll call. Perhaps even including Super Soldier from Amalgam?

Definitely interested in seeing a list of all the different iterations of the super soldier serum and its effects. I had no idea Peter Parker came in contact with a version of it!

just realized that zemo inadvertently called peter a supremacist... a superior spiderman of sorts

We need the video of everyone ever exposed to the super solider serum

YES A LIST PLEASE!

Yes, please do a video covering everyone who was exposed to (a variant of) the super-soldier serum. (including Dr. Bruce Banner / Hulk in the MCU)

That would be dope I use to try and read comics when I was younger and they weren't accessible to me so when I started collecting them this channel has been a godsend I'd love the super serum list

Heck yeah. I'd love a video cataloging every super serum use and it's results

“What if” mongul ruled sakaar instead of red king when hulk landed “Mongul The Elder”

Do a video on how black cat got the serum

Yes a list for everyone with the serum would be great. I already learned so much in this video

I definitely want to see that video Rob! LETS DO IT!

Would definitely love that video Rob

Please rob! Can you do a breakdown on weapons 1 through 10 plus?

so cyclops has access to a energy source similar to the sentry but he only shoots laser beams.......

Please professor rob! Need more knowledge about the super soldier serum.

Yeah Rob do the list. Especially with Man-thing

Had USAGENT tweakin

Can u do every super soldier and weapons 1-10

The Ultimate Captain America is akin to the MCU version because he was actually super strong (could lift 3 tons) and more durable than a normal human. The main universe Captain America was just enhanced to the peak of human potential.

Is there a video about all the "Captains America" that has been in comics? Including those who don't get the super soldier serum

Early Ultimate universe is pretty cool.

Long time viewer. Pleassssse do a list of people with the super soldier serum!

Video starts at 8:22 The stuff about the sentry is unneeded

Great video. Thanks for that!!!
