The Super Soldier Serum Explained | MCU Lore 

What if batman use the super soldier serum on himself? 🤔 it sounds like a brilliant idea for a video ;)

Bucky did. No agressive side effects. Just weaker. Also. I want to see part 2 to the Star Wars vid next.

Bucky

Taskmaster

Hulk

Would love that

@ONLY FUTURE SUMMER!! you ok?

Only thor, hela and odin is anything worth mentioning the rest are like normal people

@@OggyTheTiger Loki aint asguardian tho..

@@Nemenis took a shit then edited

also Red Guardian

It was close not perfect, there's a difference.

Cap isn't just a SUPERSOLDIER he's a successful version of Hulk

Love how you downplayed hulk 😂😂😂

@@refealthomas605 it became too goddamn OP

This is bull shit...not in my Marvel history that SSS had anything to do with hulk as well as the rest.

@@marjen6460 in the Mcu it did

Mar Jen ultimate universe is worse, at least they kept gamma rays in the mcu hulks back story. In the Ultimate universe, The mutant race is an attempt to recreate the Super Soldier serum, hulk got a serum but no radiation was involved, Spider-Man was bit by a spider with a form of The SSS goblin is a super Soldier too, It feels like everyone in that universe was a super soldier. 616 and mcu have a lot of Super Soldiers, but earth 1610 had more.

could win you some money tho in a drinking conctest

Wonder if weed would work normally on them. I’d say probably not

Ah yes but NEVER getting a hang over might out weight that. 🤔😉

Ian Magezi well there is asgardian alcohol that Thor can give Steve to get him drunk.

@@lukeerative oh yes. Weed makes everything normal

Guess he got to update this

Not me i know marvel lore

Yeah, he’s far beyond peak human

MCU Captain America is a blend of the Earth 616 and Ultimate universe versions. In the Ultimates comics line, Steve does indeed have superhuman strength. Nick Fury is also based on his Ultimate version as the 616 version is caucasian. In case you arent a comic nerd, Earth 616 is considered the "main" universe in Marvel Comics.

Captain America is the oldest character in marvel, and "peak human" meant a different thing then than it did now.

It depends on which version of Cap is being used. The Ultimate version, which is the version mostly used in the MCU, does have superhuman strength. The main comic version (616) is only peak human, meaning he's as strong, as fast etc. as human being could possibly be without being superhuman.

is it safe to say that Steve is the strongest human on earth? Besides anyone with superpowers?

I thought that was just due to the lower technology of the time requiring a higher dosage of the serum, so 1 vial currently is equal to steve's 6 vials. The vita rays were used to speed up the serums effects and stabilize it.

Yes Steve was somewhere between an average supersoldier and the Hulk

Made new batch ....hybrids inbound to port...

Vita rays are, in the comics, the means of accelerating and stabilizing the process of the super soldier serum. This is why in the absence of radiation treatment, Red Skull goes crazy, carried away by the instability of the serum. At no time did Erskine say that they increase his effectiveness. Do you have anything that would tend to prove your thesis in the MCU?

Correct. Luke Cage/Power Man got his powers from a variant of the sss. Also, in the new Falcon/Winter Soldier series, they're going to introduce John Walker aka US Agent was given a variant of the sss. But he's actually stronger than Steve. And he's also more aggressive and violent. He became a pawn of the government. Patriot aka Eli Bradley also has the sss, that he got thru a blood transfusion from Isaiah Bradley, who was the black Captain America. Isaiah had all of Steve's abilities, but it little by little regressed his mental capacities, eventually giving him almost a childlike personality. Eli on the other hand, suffered no side effects, and may be even more enhanced than Steve. Apparently, Sam/Falcon wil be offered the serum in the series, but he'll turn it down initially. But im hoping that by the end of the series, Falcon will be given the sss as well, but he won't become a villain like US Agent

@@blaxpoitation8528 also I believe the Red Guardian in the Black Widow movie has a Russian variant of sss

No, it wasn't. It was an experiment using CRISPR to fuse his DNA with foreign DNA. In the comics his power is from a Super Soldier Serum knock-off, but not in the MCU. Try not to spread misinformation, Blax.

Kell Joan Naomi it’s clearly a better version of the sss

Blax Poitation you just got owned

My name is Chad and I proud that I have a body worthy of my name💪

@@chadohunayo9721 that is the most Chad thing I've ever heard

i wish i had pecks 😔😔😟😟

Based comment.

I am of the belief that the effects are more or less the same. And the psychotic effects are simply increased from deepset instability that was already present in both men. But the Urich boy might throw a wrench in that theory.

I don’t know about that. The heart shaped herb is said give people SUPER-human abilities, where as the sss gives people PEAK-human abilities. But ig it doesn’t rlly matter in the movies, but in the comics Black Panther is literally super human

The heart shaped herb had nothing to do with sss.. it's pure bullshit

VarietyChillin peak human is underestimating the serum, Mcu captain America’s strength is in the many tons of strength. Watch comic versus the world’s video on how strong is mcu cap, hell peak human dosen’t even describe comic cap who can knock out rhino with a single kick.

Thanos Destoryer7 • 69,000 years ago yea I just said it doesn’t apply to MCU cap because like every feat he performs is super human, every feat he does in the comics are peak-human. Like stuff Batman can do.

@@varietychillin9632 Batman is peak human while cap is super human

To take in and digest all these new creative writing directions (after dismissing all the Timely/MARVEL works from the early 60s forward because, well I had to grow up and be an adult) is great, but a bit much. Younger readers and viewers are not burdened with layers of the original writers' lore. They start with the newest stuff sooonfed to them, whereas I majored in media, and submitted material on media and culture decades ago. Maybe there's some tar pit I should climb into and become extinct, or maybe follow Cap's lead, and get frozen for awhile, sheesh!

Zola had Erskine's Notes and blood samples from the red skull. Shuri's files confirm that Zola used Tesseract radiation as a stabilizer

Yeah but he wasn't hit with the Vita Ray blasts.

When the serum man gives you a lil extra

All those who choose to oppose his serum must uh....yield? Give up i dunno

@@olofacosta3192 unless ur a plane

@@olofacosta3192 you should have gave up before you posted that

Or boat

For real, lots of people over look this. In fact your probably the only one I’ve seen even bring it up. Bucky was literally running faster than cars on par with Steve and Tchalla. Plain and simple. Of course he got a serum. It’s also how they kept being able to freeze and unfreeze him over the years.

I think marvel intentionally downplayed bucky for his future role in falcon wintersoldier

@@trapcorner1758 I think you're right because in CATWS and Civil War he was on par with Steve, but in AIW and Endgame he isn't keeping up with Steve and T'Challa, but might have been on purpose to hang back, ya know, having an M249 SAW and all lol. But I also think they didn't want to have someone who was as good as Steve, because that almost downplays Steve's specialities, but with Steve now retired, shouldn't they want Bucky to continue to be his equal to make up for Sam's lack of Serum in FATWS? I mean, Sam has the wings and the shield, and Bucky has the Serum, together they make Cap and can compete with US Agent. Idk, hopefully they showcase Bucky more in FATWS, I mean he's a primary character lol plus supposedly the story involves the serum heavily so acting like Bucky doesn't have it would be assinine.

I personally think that it is the fact that he is not The Winter Soldier. Sure he has his memories, but isn’t as skilled as he is when in Winter Soldier state. I mean, look in Civil War: he is barely able to counter Ta Challa at first, and then he becomes Winter Soldier and kicks everyone’s asses.

@@EE3rd when he's in the Winter Soldier state he just doesn't care, his object is to get the mission done, anyone or anything in the way is obsolete collateral, that's why he was knocking people away no matter what it took (almost shooting Tony in the face at point blank range, jesus) and is a completely uncaged animal with no restraint. When he isn't under that control however he actually has feelings and may not want to actually hurt anyone, let alone kill anyone. I mean in Romania he wasn't brainwashed but still was pile driving through swat officers like batting away flies. He actually has some restrain and is conscious of what he's doing, just pulling his punches. As far as training it's all still there, he just is holding back, but when he's pushed to the limit, such as when Tony is actively trying to flat out murder him (and almost blasts him in the face at point blank, but with an anti-tank missile!) He steps it up, and starts to actually try when he realizes he can't run away and has to actually help Steve actively stop Tony. Then once Tony knocks Steve out and aside Bucky becomes enraged and realizes he's alone, fighting for his life, against an enhanced, super suited Avenger, and just watched his friend, Steve, get knocked out. Bucky gets so focused, like a body builder forcing out that last PR rep, and even vocally screams out because he's trying so hard to rip out that arc reactor, (which frankly he doesn't even know for sure if that's lethal or not) and knows it's now or never, take this man down or brutally die trying, and still tries to avoid killing Tony. All of that pushes him to a point to basically Winter Soldier status and he completely let's go and shows us that he is still that skilled, all that training, and certainly all the pain he has endured. He's the Winter Soldier with a Soul. His memory is back, and therefore remembers all his trainings which are muscle memory anyway. He is still as good as he was in CATWS, he just actually cares now. Which is why I hope they showcase that he's still the guy who went toe-to-toe with Steve (who didn't know he was Bucky yet so he wasn't holding back either) on that Highway, and bulldozed his way through half of the Avengers in the blink of an eye. We need Marvel to give Bucky (and Sam for that matter) justice, and I can't wait to see it. Sebastian Stan has put his heart, Soul and blood into this role, and it really shows. I just hope he gets the recognition he deserves lol

Tylearn agreed.

You just needed to watch the movie to figure it out??

@@Lownwolf-sm5py nobody wants to watch it tbf, it's trash

@@memeking6963 That movie was great

@@nahulseyon54 the cgi abs were too much for me lad

@@memeking6963 ok

Banner had D.I.D (Dissociative Identity disorder/Split Personality Disorder) so the serum just made his other personality into a literal monster.

I just thought it was a spider with the super soldier serum replica injected into it that then gave peter his powers.

He aint, he was given weakened version. If he had a normal arm and then thought Cap he would get beaten and even with the Metal Arm he was around the same as Cap

iSliceAndDice that ain’t true. Watch his fights in winter soldier n civil war

Jonathan Roman it is true

Darkwing_Dann how?

i think the closest replica is either Bruce's or Howard's

plus ever version after had surpassed it in some way. howard's granted greater strength, bruce's granted bigger size with a more drastic transformation and even greater strength, and blonksy's granted an insane healing factor, enough to recover all his bones being broken by a kick from the hulk in roughly 24 hours. But they all caused mental issues.

Thanos was just keeping his hand stationary and he was not pushing. Steve tried to push that stationary hand but still couldn't.

bucky had the weaker formula but with no seeming side effects and a better arm to offset the strength difference.

That was later contradicted in endgame when Cap was Deemed worthy to wield the Mjolnir

I mean, DC does have it's own version of super soldiers, namely Deathstroke who is practically immortal

@@cainyourkids ye

spaceboykenny No, if you’re talking about his healing factor, no. His healing factor isn’t that good, seeing as his eye hasn’t been regenerated. Usually, he can’t regenerate lost limbs and things like that. But he still has a healing factor.

@@bonjourphoenix7487 But Marvel's Super Soldiers, Steve (and maybe Bucky as a watered down/bastardized Super Soldier) do not have an increased healing factor right? (unless this has been shown in a comic arc I haven't read lol)

spaceboykenny I don’t think so, but I know that Steve has unlimited endurance and energy. Meaning he never tires. He might have some sort of healing factor, but it’s not wolverine level.

Darkside of the Sun it is called Advanced Longevity.

Not even close. It might slow his aging and give him another 50 years. But Wolverine in the comics out lives everyone but the Hulk. Wolverine goes on for hundreds of years!

Steve's smart, but he's not Strange/Stark/Richards/Von Doom level smart. I don't think he's gunna be sorceror supreme or even wizard king of latveria

Not the latest or greatest. It was a suit that had only basic functions and it was kept for just using in an emergency situation(I mean that it is not perfect). It was a 2vs1 fight and the bottle boy hit from the back while the Genius was distracted and that's it.

Isaiah was perfect

@@nahulseyon54 but I dont think that was the completed serum. Remember in falcon and the winter soldier they explained that they were given “tetanus shots” and one after the other kept dying from it but somehow it worked for him. It was probably a beta version if you can look at it that way. They were using those soldiers as test subjects.

@@mrcrossovermark1153 But it worked perfectly for him. Even if it isn't THE PERFECT SERUM. He was THE PERFECT SUBJECT. The subject is more important than the serum as Erskine mentioned. Howard's would be THE MOST PERFECT serum if it was given to Steve Rogers or Isaiah Bradley.

@@nahulseyon54 i guess you have a point there. I guess what im trying to say is the quality of the serums arent the same. Yes, Isaiah Bradley’s body took the serum very well but i wouldnt put him in the same level as Steve Rogers. Maybe its just me, if we see how he was in his prime maybe we can make a better comparison but i just cant see a “beta” version being the same level as Cap.

@@mrcrossovermark1153 You're right but we also can't underestimate him to be a beta too. My list is different 1. Howard's serum 2. Emil Blonsky serum 3. Isaiah's serum and Nagel's serum 4. Erskine's serum and Banner's serum 5. Bucky's serum This is based on abilities but Erskine's and Howard's serum are the best but they need to be given to a stronger and good man to be even more effective. Still impressive!

I like the idea that Erskine was just way smarter than everyone else lol

Apparently it was impossible

I don’t think he’d see the need for super soldiers anymore

That was only in one film but in the comics that would cause a time abnormally so massive it would make your head spin.

Everything would change

@@KeyIssues the TVA would like to know your location

plus when it mixed with the hulk formula the bone protrusions were even further enhanced and blonksy looked even more monsterous. And then later he developed amphibian like qualities. Legit the biggest problem with red skull's and hulk's formula is the body alterations. If they were more like doc samson's transformation in the comics then they would be closer to perfection.

That's Stark Tech.

Comic book magic 😉

Time travel, the drug displaced him through time, that's why

The seum amplfies what's already inside so he may have had these powers laying dormant inside of him

Jose Torres soooooO you’re saying this LOOOOOOOONG list of abilities The Sentry has were simply laying dormant and a man-made serum unlocked it all⁉️🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😑

@@Silentknight81 Nah, He simply pulls space-time around, borrowing energy from different times to do weird sh*t with. His power is Time Displacement. He just has a good handle on how to use it

So how does Hawkeye manage?

@@saljpal3 Skill.

Black Widow did not receive a version of the Super Soldier Serum but the Infinity Serum, like Nick Fury.

Peak pant potential!(PPP) THE SSS CAUSED PPP

Probably nothing

He’d be like “another!” then throw the bottle that it was in to the ground !

@@KeyIssues Yeah cause I assume their physiology is so different. You think if Asgardian scientists worked off of our human version they could recreate the effects with their own new one? That would be some hard core crazy OP Asgardians. Then add Uru metal Iron Man suits like the one Odin used at one point in the comics.

If he can get drunk off our beer and we from his, our physiology can’t be to dissimilar

He is already a GOD and he will become well a little more arrogant as it's his personality. He won't gain powers.(Theory)

Mason Officially Then everybody would just be the same strength

WELL NOW YOU DO

Yeah apparently there were a lot of small details I missed in the mcu. I need to rewatch the movies

I guess that would be one version, because thats the first I heard of that one

@@essiejohnson9632 ultimate universe and MCU hulk

Vit D Milk how are you a fan and not know this? This is common knowledge? Most superhero experiments in the comics were because of the experiments done on cap

It's the gamma radiation used with the serum that really makes him so different from all the other SSS users. Gamma is real fucky. If you read the comic series Immortal Hulk you will see him shine and what makes him different. And the mysteries of gamma. He was really neutered in the MCU. I love Mark Ruffalo as Banner and Ragnarok was amazing but I hated that we didn't get to see much more of Hulk's personality after that movie. The merged Banner really just makes me feel like it's all Banner and Hulk is being suppressed. I hope to hell that we see more of a relationship between Hulk and Banner like we do in the comics in whatever he's in next. Smart Hulk is fun but his rage is what really gives him power.

The average Joe wouldn't be able to get their hands on it

@@LegendInTheEndzzz join the military become a high ranking officer get my hands on some juicy soldier serum and boom captain merica

Thatrandomblackguy Stronger alcohol In Asgard.

Remember a shot of asgardian alchohol can knock out a normal person

@@thestrangerthattalks9516 true true but since Asgard is gone and Thor was living on earth during the events of endgame shouldn't that mean he's drinking regular beer

Thatrandomblackguy he can get drunk but he needs more earth alcohol to get drunk than asgardians Thor can get drunk if he drinks to much As for captain america I think his body processes toxins faster than he can drink. As for thor, he may be strong and have a stronger body overall but he grew up with natural means. So just stronger body doesnt mean stronger digestive system. If they have strong digestive systems thats the case then all asgardians would need to eat lots of food to keep up with their body. If each asgardian needs to eat as much as 2-4 humans. Then they would have long been in famine and starvation. And cap wasnt natural, he became strong because of the serum. So I guess toxins cleansing is one of his powers given by the serum. Imagine this, the serum was made to make a perfect soldier. What are the most common occurence in a war? Infections, diseases, gun wounds. So there goes your super soldier dead because of an infection. Overall Thor can get drunk because he is all natural Captain America cant because of the serum

@@thestrangerthattalks9516 alright makes sense when you put it that way. But I still have a problem with how inconsistent Thor is in the Mcu. When he's fighting being from his own realm or being who are considered "gods" we get to see Thor is all his son of the all father glory but as soon as he's next to cap or ironman he's fighting at their level, or even getting out classed by cap

Nah just Mr. Olympia

@@BishopDoubleR Mr. Olympia would include insulin 💪

6:33 "Only one perfect super soldier was ever created with the serum" while a clip of Steve Rogers plays on the screen. Come on it's not that difficult to watch the whole video before commenting.

@@kuugi9895 i watched the video twice.

So what? Doesn't matter how many times you've watched it because you still failed to notice that one line where he clearly said Steve's serum is superior.

“Man, it sure is great to be experiencing life as healthy humans do!” Steve says, as his eyes move in opposite directions like that of a chameleon
