    Captain America

    Character » Captain America appears in 11750 issues.

    During World War II, Steve Rogers volunteered to receive the experimental Super-Soldier Serum. Enhanced to the pinnacle of human physical potential and armed with an unbreakable shield, he became Captain America. After a failed mission left him encased in ice for decades, he was found and revived by the Avengers, later joining their ranks and eventually becoming the team's leader.

    Were ALL of Cap's physical attributes enhanced to peak human?

    It's common knowledge that his strength, speed, agility, reflexes, jumping, and endurance were peak human. But what about his senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste) and brain power?

    I don't think his senses were advanced, at least I don't ever recall reading that they were. But I believe his mind was altered to make him a better tacticans and stragacist. It would only make sense you want your super soldier to have the keenest of military minds.

    Yes his senses were enhanced to peak human as well. Which is the reason why he is able to dodge bullets so effectively even without the shield. More so with it as he sees them at a slower rate. As for brain activity I don't think there is any proof in comics that it was increased besides his sudden ability to calculate so many angles with his shield to get the desired effects he wants with it bouncing off various surfaces and things like that.

    Also his endurance, stamina, durability etc were all increased. As well as his immune system. Meaning he is resistant to many diseases, toxins, poisons, his body does not fatigue like normal people and he can not get drunk.

    The only evidence I could think of that showed his mind was increased, at least in the slightest bit was how he is able to understand, calculate, and throw his shield. To be able to do it at the speeds he does, so effortlessly would have to be a higher degree of understanding. Throwing something and getting it to bounce off of one object, or back to you is one thing. But being able to bounce it off of multiple surfaces is a totally different thing.

    Hmm, I thought he got that through years of practice in the Danger Room?
