Yeah there's a scene where Ross lays out how he restarted the super soldier program and banner was a researcher for it

My personal feeling is that Cap is about as powerful as Jason, the Red Ranger, while Bucky is about as powerful as Rocky, the red ranger.

So Bucky's getting replaced by a ten year old after injuring himself?

Black Panther because Cap was the best until he came along and was just better/cooler

The pet theory I like is that it isn’t a cheap knock-off, the super soldier serum has actually always worked, it just happens that the serum brings out the inner qualities of the person. Rogers becomes Cap because he is fundamentally a good person, red skull becomes red skull because he is pure evil on the inside, Banner becomes a childish rage monster, and Blonsky becomes a evil rage monster. Same serum, different end result.

Cap is my favorite super hero and seeing Blonsky's moves with the Serum had me very excited. I don't think they got the power set right for Cap until Winter Soldier.

Wasn’t Ultimate Marvel still big back then? I remember thinking they were doing the Ultimate Marvel super-serum plot (which was kind of lovely, but not as lovely as the rest of UM) when it came out.

There’s a point where exercise gets you so far and the rest is good dieting and honestly I’m never giving up on Stouts and some of the other trash I eat every now and then and I’m ok with that.

They probably made the mistake of saying something like "this will be perfect for you, it's just like your last big role" which every actor loves hearing.
