@kingmuizz7083 years ago Man if cap and red guardian end up on screen together it'll be so fun lol 1884
@

@bigsmoke_42073 years ago If the serum doesn't come out blue, it won't work 2357
@

@Quinn-bx1to3 years ago The more I read and understand the video, I literally respect Zemo's ideology of destroying the serum. There can only be one Steve Rogers 663
@

@baonkang59903 years ago It could be that Bruce got closer then he realised, and the hulk was not created because of any fault with the serum, but instead when used on banner himself(due to his unstable psyche) it allowed a dormant part of his personality to manifest itself.
It kinda all goes back to how the serum also enhances the personality traits of people, in banners case the enhancement of his personalities created too much distinction between them causing them to split. ... 753
@

@sirsir96653 years ago Interesting fact. In comic Dr. Erskine claimed the right diet and exercise could produce a peak human as well. This was proven to be true as his Grandson underwent the diet and exercise giving him incredible physical prowess. ... 928
@

@StoneyBaloney-8D1173 years ago I miss the old hulk when he actually got bigger and stronger the angrier he gets 196
@

@spiffykop3053 years ago Since we are here talking about the super soldiers, I like to think that the Captain America that Red Guardian "fought" might have actually been Isaiah Bradley Cap. It's cool to theroize 253
@

@David_Scar3 years ago Mcu really needs to redeem the Hulk, and make him live up to his name as the strongest there is... That aside i really enjoyed the video and honestly your voice is perfect for documentaries and narrations... Awesome as always.👍 ... 2771
@

@lawrencesalamanca17633 years ago I did not know "Gatorade Blue" was this awesome!!!!! 307
@

@shinjihirako47732 years ago Carter pouring Steve's blood on the ocean created the Ninja Turtles 🤣 11
@

@jakedc19973 years ago Ever since we saw Cap and Panther rush the enemy together in infinity war I've had the theory that the Serum and the Heart Shaped herb are connected. It's no mere coincidence they do the second test around the same time Howard Stark gets his hands on some Vibranium. And the Cap and Panther running together at the same super soldier pace together seems to hint at that ... 42
@

@stevenmadali32583 years ago I can't imagine what will happen if Cap and the Red guardian meet 🤣 515
@

@fanta_claws3 years ago At the beginning we had Steve Rogers who held back in almost every on-screen fight and at the end we had John Walker, most ruthless of them all, haven't seen him holding back yet. Two exact opposite personality bearing the same power. ... 355
@

@sthbmc59633 years ago Bucky is similar to Ultimate Cap in that he didn’t get all his abilities from Zola’s serum. He was also experimented on with the Tesseract, amongst other things - which how he survived the fall but showed no signs of enhancement. ... 72
@

@archangel56273 years ago The original Super Soldier Serum Steve Rogers took had to be injected into the larger various muscle groups on his body which then needed to be bombarded with Vita-Rays in order for the Serum to fully take shape. To me, the newer Super Soldier Serum we see in Falcon and the Winter Soldier doesn’t incorporate the use of Vita Rays after the hosts initial injection. That’s because they found a way to irradiate the newer serum with something similar to Vita-Rays so that the only thing left to be done is inject it into the host. ... 27
@

@roncuyos15953 years ago The fact that Bradley was a Cap and is alive and still capable of superhuman feats means that the serum was still a part of the military. 34
@

@RbkARI3 years ago So glad I'm not the only one who still considers Agents of SHIELD and the Netflix shows part of the MCU.
Edit: Oh, and Agent Carter too. 334
@

@jacobstine12213 years ago The herb in Wakanda is the natural counter part to the super soldier serum, and might be a component of the serum. (It a strong maybe nothing confirmed or denied by MC) 26
@

@HarunH_Arts3 years ago Abraham Erskine knows the value of super-soldier serum. Therefore, he knows the serum requires the right host in order to get the perfect result. 56
@

@DrSpasticat3 years ago Hulk serum enhanced banners split personality disorder separating him and the monster 146
@

@sammysamiam52193 years ago Just wait until the fantastic four either end up as a time travel experiment or a super soldier experiment 77
@

@ryvanf3 years ago I hope all these "CAPTAIN" will be met in future MCU projects. 144
@

@PittsburghSonido3 years ago This video shows how there’s so much lore already tightly packed into the MCU, and this is only scratching the surface of the entire history! 83
@

@arnoldhorton81153 years ago Cap is like the glue that connected all the avengers together. Natasha connected with him well because he had a lot in common with her dad and Steve actually knew tony starks dad 22
@

@Celtic_Blade3 years ago I read somewhere that in the comics Logan is weapon X and Cap was weapon One. 7
@

@Mikerille3 years ago The super soldier serum is actually really op, makes the user really strong and fast, durable etc, have INFINITE stamina, a healing factor (with the strongest healing factor being able to heal every broken bone and pierced lungs in a single day) and smarter ... 11
@

@alexiscamacho33263 years ago If you look closely in the opening credits for Black Widow, you can see some of the SuperSoldier Serum. So maybe it was given to Natasha and some of the other Widows 14
@

@Awkw043 years ago Just realised how much the MCU is revolved around the serum 😂 37
@

@ccl79833 years ago A super soldier I would like to see are Wolverine, Deadpool and maybe sentry 158
@

@chasejordan92953 years ago I'm sure the "side affect" of Starks formula on the death squad was just their personality prior to recieving it, they followed commands before but now with how much power they have why would they? 21
@

@cybertar2 years ago I love how the first and last supersoldiers are both captain america.
Also i love how the hulk experiment went both right and wrong, it created an anger bomb but also made its user the strongest super soldier there is. ... 4
@

@jerryrichards81723 years ago When cap. Is barely standing and fighting thanose all alone. Then he gives that look ill die before I quite.
BEST MOMENT IN CINEMA HISTORY! 🙌
Then AVENGERS ASSEMBLE was icing on the cake. 35
@

@Sealhunt3 years ago A comprehensive and thorough job my friend. Nicely done! 3
@

@definiteg49093 months ago Seeing how much influence the Serum had over alot of people and franchises is amazing. 1
@

@TypicalCynic_3 years ago Me: Looks at super soldier serum
Also me: Looks at a bottle of windex
”Wait a second..” 60
@

@teddybott32583 years ago Actual really good video, explains a lot I knew and showed me a lot I didn’t know. Didn’t pander on the obvious and didn’t act like you knew more than everyone else. Good information and also explained well. 👍 7
@

@alexguzman99973 years ago Makes me feel like the serum is starting to get overused in the MCU...
You get a serum, and you get a serum and you also get a serum... 79
@

@teligon3 years ago Really well put together historical chronicle! 6
@

@kinggrimlock3113 years ago I feel like you guys could have included the Extremis serum but this was overall an incredible video. 8
@

@chaos2673 years ago It'll be great to see how they bring the X-men into the mix now. We all have to remember that the Weapon X project was also a means to obtain super soldiers as a result to recreate the succession of Steve Rogers. 6
@

@JaydontPlay1243 years ago Banner pretty much made a better super soldier serum only problem was he could not control himself, but if he could turn big and back at will, that would have been perfect 54
@

@mistahanansi22643 years ago Looking forward to seeing my boy Patriot (Elijah Bradly) in a future Young Avengers movie. 35
@

@ashleysmith54273 years ago We need a Marvel One Shot about what happened between Isiah Bradley and Bucky Barnes! 3
@

@Decoy4493 years ago In the comics the hulk had a healing factor similar to the wolverine. But we've never seen that since that's not one of the affects of the super soldier serum. If he had healing factor the Hulk's arm would've healed under 10 seconds after he snapped in endgame ... 18
@

@diaclethian13 years ago Great video. Everyone was working on the soldier serum like Dept. H in Canada hence Alpha Flight hence wolverine sabertooth and deadpool 1
@

@shawn0712 years ago Thanks for this awesome detailed breakdown, I love how you don't talk a hundred miles an hour, like other Youtube video narrations.. where you cant even understand what they are talking about during the whole breakdown
@

@Cookieninja-bo6gd3 years ago People saying, “they wonder what happens if cap and red guardian met” I don’t wanna be a buzz kill but im pretty sure it will never happen or at least the cap we know won’t be on screen for a while, cuz Chris Evans is done with cap and I don’t think he is going to be cap any time soon. Son to break the news. ... 58
@

@milkmanman3 years ago I'd like to know why we haven't seen the leader come back in MCU and his leader / Hulk form 79
@

@_iamskeezz78923 years ago That was a dope video ! Appreciate the break down 👍🏾💯
@

@wittlemix2 years ago ......damn the amount of lore mcu/mcm has more lore that my history class 2
@

@nicholassmith34993 years ago If Steve had the super soldier serum and the heart shaped herb he would be basically unstoppable 5
@

@markmagician24713 years ago You forgot about Extremus its basically a updated Super Solider formula but it was really unstable 3
@

@markus.5743 years ago great video organizing the mcu's super soldier stuff
@

@vanallen16663 years ago Love the story of super serum thanks mate you done a good job... 1
@

@demetrrius30003 years ago and crazy how much the strength diff is in those two hulks. One struggled to pick up a jeep and one smashes a 500 ton killer thingie with a punch lol ... 8
@

@romanstravels63903 years ago Take a shot every time he says “Super Solider Serum”…ur ganna have a tood gime🥴🍻 4
@

@jb3603603 years ago Fantastic explanation sir!! Well done.
@

@magicandy20033 years ago Well explained, you got a new subscriber
@

@brandonjackson48863 years ago Let’s not forget, in the MCU Samuel Sterns becomes The Leader after gettin a small dose of Banner’s blood into an open wound. Even though we haven’t seen him again I think that should count. It enhanced his already grandiose mind. ... 2
@

@projekttaku13 years ago so it basically turns you into a nerfered version of the hulk? 38
@

@larrydalobster35483 months ago this super soldier serum ran almost a century trying to replicate it and it's glory just for ONLY one person to have it in full effect first try. There wouldn't be anyone better I would choose for the serum other than Rodgers tbh. also since Howard Stark made a whole Vibranium shield I wouldn't be surprised if the heart shaped herb would be a key component the serum itself ... 1
@

@cosmicgem77753 years ago Great video! You made the Hulk movie sound exciting 1
@

@BobBob-qg4lo3 years ago Everyone's talking about if cap and red guardian met like cap isn't old, if not dead at this point in the mcu lol 7
@

@MH-jk1nw3 years ago Remember Abomination cameo on Shangchi trailer? He seems evolved and more like his counterpart in the comics, do you think he got another injection or just evolved? 6
@

@shitsnotjakepaul64902 years ago Listening to this in my car and the background music is too loud to pay attention to the words homie. But as always great content. Keep it up 👍
@

@arelishernandez85153 years ago Since I subscribed I have not miss one video 2
@

@SilverScarletSpider3 years ago wasnt red skull also inspired to create the "perfect man" after being inspired by thor's ancient feats on earth thousands of years ago? Yes. can you please do a heart shaped herb, crispr and serum results comparison? ... 5
@

@jxh_exe3 years ago I would love to see red guardian and cap on screen 7
@

@themandarin82893 years ago Thank you for doing it God bless you man 1
@

@serenity92603 years ago With so many variations of serum, i will not surprised if sentry will appear soon
@

@mrjuice40703 years ago Quick request can you do how powerful is dceu doomsday whenever you can thanks! 10
@

@kerrymurphy69903 years ago Wasn't the ultimate universe version of the spider that bit Peter Parker and Miles Morales a super soldier experiment instead of purely accidental radiation, can't remember if that is correct or not 3
@

@Celtic_Blade3 years ago The CIA still exists? Are Shield, Sword, Hydra, AIM, and the others just sitting there like….”You’re adorable.” 4
@

@OverkillKillerr3 years ago You completely forgot Natasha Romanoff who has a diluted super serum called the "Black Widow Project" giving her intensified human peak capabilities. 10
@

@andreburruss113 years ago When he said it makes personality stronger I really think he meant it metaphorically not literally 1
@

@rejectedhex3 years ago Fun fact: the weapon x program is actually a later version of the super soldier serum in the comics 1
@

@lonewolfgamingplus3793 years ago And also Taskmaster himself took the serum.. if the ACTUAL Taskmaster exists in the world. 3
@

@theavastark64633 years ago That shi went from making you a peak human to just a normal skinny person with powers💀 you cannot tell me the flag smashers can go up against cap 18
@

@TheGeorgegenesis3 years ago Ofcource Sentry is my ultimate super soldier and would love to see him battle the hulk. 2
@

@dvlx84533 years ago edward norton version of the hulk was the strongest variant of super soldier in mcu 7
@

@Yziii3 years ago Hope we can get MCU Spider-man's Origin, Dude's blood can be used as a weapon and more in the comics 1
@

@fanta_claws3 years ago But the only reason Steve's transformation required Vita rays was because his physique was underdeveloped. The Vita rays changed his body(physique) to a peak human level and the SSS did the whole superhuman changes to him. There was no need of Vita rays on a fully developed person, no-one ever noticed that. ... 6
@

@da58633 years ago The only problem I have with the SSS in the MCU is the aging aspect of it. Steve should not have looked that old in Endgame after he lived out his life. He was 106 physically, (not including the years he was in the ice) but should’ve looked around 55-65. Isaiah Bradley who’s around 100 looks to have aged well but not as well as the serum allows. Also wish that black widow got a version of the SSS like she did in the comics. I also wonder if the SSS can be passed down genetically? ... 7
@

@HyperFade-xm4br3 years ago There was no way this video was 11 minutes felt like 30
Great video btw 1
@

@Hel1xFN2 years ago Bro the way they are all fighting for the serum is crazy
@

@dondrap5133 years ago I never understood... Was bucky a super soldier for years between rescue and falling without knowing it? 11
@

@varto073 years ago Could you make a video about the different enhancemt serums as well?
@

@qwertyuiop18543 years ago the 20 second loop of music is driving me crazy
@

@LightsJusticeZ3 years ago Imagine if the Spider-Man: No Way Home featured one of Peter's female classmate accidentally finding and taking the a version of the Super Soldier Serum and becoming the Black Cat. 13
@

@maattthhhh3 years ago Next up: Chemical Waste explained!
Seriously though, the number of times it's been used in directly or indirectly creating a superheroes story, should conjure some nifty fan theories. 3
@

@randolphdainard40843 years ago Consider this...Cap with Infinity Stones could go to his creation and use the stones to create gallons or vats of the Super Soldier serum precisely as Dr. Erskine formulated it. 1
@

@speedtriplebbc3 months ago Explains my questions on links between the red guardian and the winter soldier program. I wondered if there was a link but it’s simply a different place on the timeline
