  (#11) Captain America Was A Virgin Until 'Infinity War'

  From Redditor u/SpideyFan914:

  THE FIRST AVENGER: In the car with Peggy before his procedure, Peggy comments, "You don't talk to many girls, do you?" Steve replies, "This is the longest conversation I've had with one." Now he could be exaggerating, sure. I sincerely hope he's had longer conversations with his mom, for instance. However Steve is a man I believe we can take at his word, and the implication here seems that he has not been intimate before The First Avenger, potentially not even having kissed a woman. This is further backed up by the era, as conservative values were more prevalent at the time.

  Now there are several montages throughout the film, and it's noteworthy that he later kisses the Game of Thrones woman. In that scene, she comes onto him, and he doesn't really have much choice in the matter. Peggy is rather angry (she literally shoots at him - damn Peggy, what if the shield didn't work?). Based on her reaction, and Steve's apparent loyalty toward Peggy despite the misunderstanding, I don't believe this circumstance is normal, and while it may not have the only time some fan has kissed him, I'd be shocked if he'd gone any further.

  Of course, at the end of the movie he's frozen before he and Peggy can have even one date, although they do share a kiss.

  THE AVENGERS: Not much to analyze here. Next!

  THE WINTER SOLDIER: It's been a couple of years now since he's been thawed. Has he made any progress? Well, after kissing Natasha, she outright asks Steve (again in a car - what's with Steve's sex life getting talked about in cars?) how active he's been. "That bad, huh?" he replies. "No, that was not my first kiss since 1945." Okay, that's something - it means he's canonically kissed more than the four women we've seen him kiss in these movies. However, he also says there hasn't been anyone special. Hence Natasha's persistence on getting him a date.

  What about a one-night stand? This is Captain America guys, come on! He doesn't do one-night stands, he's not Tony Stark! Don't believe me? Let's go back to that other car scene, the one in The First Avenger. Steve tells Peggy, "I guess I'm just waiting for the right partner." Again, Steve is a man I believe we can take at his word. He isn't just hamming up for the pretty trigger-happy Brit, he's legit waiting for the right partner.

  Lucky for him, he finds one in this same movie! Sharon Carter! But Nat only tells Steve that her name is Sharon, leaving out the Carter part for a lackluster reveal in Civil War. But before we get to that -

  AGE OF ULTRON: The Avengers movies don't add much to this. They don't really get into Steve's love life. Sorry!

  CIVIL WAR: Okay so most important thing is to track his relationship with Sharon. When he sees her here at Peggy's funeral, he's genuinely surprised. He didn't even know her last name, it's unlikely they've kept in major touch between movies. More importantly, when he kisses her (outside a car this time), he says that was "late." Obviously, this was their first kiss. (I mean it's pretty obvious from all their interactions in the movie, but I want to leave as few holes as possible.) And then they drive away and we actually haven't seen Sharon since this moment.

  HOMECOMING: I guess we know now what he meant about patience in the post-credits, huh?

  INFINITY WAR: Okay so no intimacy on screen, but it's worth noting there was a deleted scene with Sharon Carter in it. I haven't seen this scene though I believe it implies they've been intimate, however I also don't believe in counting deleted scenes as canon. So... have Steve and Sharon done it?

  First off, let's establish whether or not they're able to meet. I mean, if they met in a deleted scene, the answer to the possibility is obviously yes. Steve is a fugitive, but so is Sharon (for stealing his and Falcon's gear in Civil War - it's explicitly stated that "they'll be after [Sharon] too now"). That kiss in Civil War was a beginning, not an end. Plus, if Vision and Scarlet Witch can find each other on the run (and unlike Vision and Wanda, Steve and Sharon ran away at the same time and would have made plans), this is obviously not a problem.

  Thus, Steve and Sharon have been a relationship for... is it two years in the official timeline? One and a half, maybe? Someone (I think Falcon but could be wrong) says, "It's been a rough couple years," when they all meet up with Rhodie, so I'd say one and a half at minimum. This is likely enough time, especially since... damn Steve, you've waited so long for the right partner you wound up settling for her great-niece!

  IN CONCLUSION: He might die, but at least we can say he won't die a virgin.

  (#14) Captain America Switched Out Thor's Hammer In 'Ragnarok'

  From Redditor u/TheMediocreCritic:

  Hela didn’t destroy Thor’s hammer in Ragnarok. Captain America switched Mjolnir out with a fake when he traveled back to fix the timelines.

  With Thor 4, Love and Thunder well on its way, we have a bit of a problem to address. If Natalie Portman is going to get the power of Thor as in the comics, then we need Thor’s mighty hammer, Mjolnir, back. As it stands, Cap returned Mjolnir to the original timeline, Hela shattered it again, leading to Thor getting Stormbreaker again. Everything is back to where it is supposed to be. The hammer has to follow the same path to keep the events leading to Ragnarok. Both Cap and Thor know that the hammer has to be returned or there is no Stormbreaker, no Wakanda rescue. The hammer must go back.

  But then how can Jane Foster get her hands on that hammer? A hammer that is integral to the story moving forward if they use the cancer storyline from the comics. Well, I think the answer is simple.

  Captain America switched the hammer out with a fake.

  So for Jane foster to claim the hammer and get the power of Thor, I believe the hammer has to survive. But how?  So I think I have the answer. Cap goes back to the events of Thor: Ragnarok and making a  quick switch. Perhaps at Dr. Strange’s mansion,  He secretly gives Thor the replica, and that’s the hammer Hela shatterers. In reality, though, Cap has kept the hammer for decades, until the events of Love and Thunder. Cap preserves the timeline while still keeping the hammer. I believe this movie will start with old Cap giving the hammer to Thor or Jane foster. I imagine a scene with old Captain America saying,” I think this belongs to you “as he hands the real Mjolnir back.  

  There are inherently  going to be plot holes in this theory for sure. How come the hammer does not come to him when he calls? or how can Cap get his hand on a believable replica? But the fact remains that Jane Foster will need Mjolnir to start her transformation. i dont know if reforging Mjolnir will keep Odin's blessing intact. Perhaps the hammer is reforged with Captain America going back to find the pieces. I like to think that Thor would want to find a way to save his most valuable possession. And perhaps with a little help from Cap they can save it whether its from time travel or collecting the pieces.

  (#9) No One Is Able To Recreate The Super Soldier Serum Because It Comes From The Heart Shaped Herb

  From Redditor u/4DimensionalToilet

  The Super Soldier Serum that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America was derived from the Heart Shaped Herb that gives people the powers of the Black Panther. The Heart Shaped Herb was incorporated into the Serum by Howard Stark, who somehow got a sample of the Herb from Wakanda, where he also obtained the vibranium used to make Cap’s famous shield. The Herb contains a key ingredient that prevents the enhanced individual from getting f*cked up like the Red Skull, the Hulk, and the Abomination did.

  In the MCU it’s been established that Dr. Abraham Erskine, the scientist who turned Steve Rogers into Captain America in The First Avenger (2011), was the only person to ever successfully produce an effective Super Soldier Serum. It’s also established that Cap’s shield is made of vibranium, a supermetal that is only found in Wakanda.

  Skip forward from WWII to the present day, and the closest we’ve seen in the MCU to powers resembling those of Steve Rogers are those of the Black Panther. T’Challa and Erik “Killmonger” Stevens both have enhanced speed, strength, and endurance when they possess the powers of the Black Panther. They aren’t necessarily superhuman, but they are at peak human ability, just like Captain America.

  Going back to WWII, Erskine’s original attempt at making a super soldier failed, deforming Johann Schmidt into the Red Skull. A few years later, Erskine was ready to try again. With the help of the brilliant Howard Stark, he perfected it and turned the weakling Steve Rogers into the super soldier Captain America.

  The difference between the two attempts is that Erskine was now working with Howard Stark. Stark, as we know, had acquired enough vibranium to make a shield sometime before Cap formed the Howling Commandos.

  Seeing as vibranium only comes from Wakanda, Stark must have gone to Wakanda (or at least he had a contact there) in order to get his hands on the vibranium needed to make the shield. At some point during his dealings with the Wakandans, Stark must have heard about the Black Panther and his superhuman abilities.

  Stark, if not already working with Erskine by this point, would have realized that if America could harness the powers of the Black Panther, they could be used to create a super soldier. Seeing as how Stark was working with and doing science for the US military, he could have figured out that Erskine was the man to talk to about creating an American super soldier.

  If Stark was already working with Erskine by the time he found out about the Black Panther, he would have told Erskine about the Black Panther and gotten the go-ahead to figure out how to incorporate it into the super soldier program.

  So Stark manages to get some Heart-Shaped Herb via some kind of deal, or maybe he just steals some of it (à la Rocket and the Sovereign’s batteries) when he finds out that the Wakandans aren’t willing to exchange it for anything.

  Now that the Americans have the Heart Shaped Herb, the Super Soldier program can continue unhindered. The Herb seems to contain a stabilizing agent which prevents unwanted mutations (e.g. turning into the Red Skull) during the enhancement process. The research is completed and they are ready to find a candidate. That candidate ends up being Steve Rogers.

  In short, because both are derived from the same source, Cap’s powers and T’Challa’s powers are very similar.

  The influence of the Heart Shaped Herb on the MCU doesn’t stop there. The reason that Bruce Banner got turned into the Hulk instead of successfully relaunching the Super Soldier Program (like Ross wanted) in The Incredible Hulk (2008) is that the key ingredient — the Heart Shaped Herb’s stabilizing agent — was missing, and the same goes for Blonsky when he turns into the Abomination.

  (#2) Captain America Was Killed In The Battle Of Wakanda But Was Brought Back With The Time Stone

  From Redditor u/commander_wong:

  Thanos ended his short battle with Cap with a punch to the back of the head. Many wondered how Cap recovered in mere seconds from a punch that even took out the Hulk and the most logical explanation is that he didn’t. As Thanos used the time stone to bring Vision back, the surroundings also reverted: Natasha was no longer trapped under pillars of stone, Bruce was no longer fused to a rock, and Cap showed no signs of injuries from a blow that should’ve easily killed him.

  (#13) Steve Rogers Had A Daughter

  From Redditor u/delitomatoes:

  In this alternate timeline, due to certain events being slightly different, super soldier serum never being invented, Steve not getting it etc.

  The age of Superheroes was never set in motion. WW2 ended and as many men died overseas, Steve, a physically unattractive but honest man married one of the many women left behind. They had a daughter, Mary Rogers.

  This daughter later went on to marry a physician Franklin Storm and gave birth to 2 children Susan and Johnny. This is why Johnny Storm shares an uncanny resemblance to MCU's Steve Rogers.
