  (#8) Howard Stark Didn’t Want Steve Rogers To Choose The Vibranium Shield Because He Wanted It For Himself

  From Redditor u/Adam_Underscore:

  In Captain America: The First Avenger, Howard Stark shows the Cap a bunch of shield prototypes he designed before Rogers notices the vibranium shield tucked away on the bottom shelf. A lot of people wonder why Stark didn’t show Rogers the vibranium shield first, since it’s obviously the best choice.

  My guess is that Stark knew the vibranium shield was the best one, but he was hoping Cap would choose a different shield so Stark could use the vibranium for other projects. Stark likely knew how versatile vibranium is, and given that it’s all the vibranium that the military has, he likely didn’t want to give it all away for just one soldier.

  Since it was the military’s vibranium, they probably ordered Stark to make a prototype shield with the vibranium for Rogers, but Stark likely saw this a waste of the precious metal. So he made a few more options with more bells and whistles to distract Rogers from vibranium shield. Too bad Cap is a man of simple tastes

  (#3) 'Braddock' Is The Alias Steve Rogers Uses In His Life With Peggy

  From Redditor u/CinematicESP:

  If Steve is trying to lay low when he goes back in time to spend a life with Peggy, it would make sense that he might use an alias. What if the Agent Braddock mentioned in Endgame was Steve, hence Peggy’s concern for his whereabouts?

  Jumping off from that, perhaps they settle down in Peggy’s home country of England to raise a family... including Brian and Betsy Braddock, either their children or grandchildren.

  Captain Britain, the super soldier son (or grandson) of Captain America.

  (#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.

  (#4) The Super Soldier Serum Increases Intelligence As Well As Strength

  From Redditor u/StoneGoldX:

  The Super Soldier Serum increases intelligence as well as strength. It's just Captain America only studies beating people up.

  I originally developed this theory for the comics, but it should work for the movies as well. Abraham Erskine's Super Soldier Serum enhanced Steve Rogers' body to operate at peak human efficiency. In the movies, he's a little more blatantly superhuman, and with the caveat that it also enhances your personality.

  I believe, however, that the SSS also drastically increases mental capacity, perhaps to the level of a Stark or even a Richards. It's just that rather than studying the physical sciences, Steve Rogers studies how to best save the world from evil, preferably by punching evil in the face.

  After a bit of post-SSS training, Steve immediately went from being a combat novice to one of, if not the, greatest hand to hand combatants in the world. He figured out the aerodynamics and impossible physics of throwing his shield just from holding and throwing it a few times. Since being defrosted, he immediately was able to use sci-fi level electronics like the computers at Avengers HQ. It's been remarked many times by various characters, from Nick Fury to Kang, that within moments he immediately masters any vehicle or weapon he touches. Not to mention being the foremost metahuman combat tactician of the Marvel Universe.

  I believe that if Steve wasn't so focused on saving the world through strength of arm, he could be saving the world with his mind through discovery and invention. It's just he's so focused on studying how to better punch people in the face, that he hasn't focused on creating anti-posineutronic engromatic devices and such.

  (#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.
