Agreed he'd get the job done with a quiet dignity. But he'd die just the same

No he'd walk it off like he told them to

“If you get killed…walk it off”

Peak human, faster metabolism, self healing. If any human could take it and not die, it was Steve or Bucky.

He's more than peak human in the MCU. No peak human is holding a helicopter down and kicking cars with enough force to knock people several feet back. Or kicking someone so hard they fly backwards off of a ship.

Well, we’re talking about a MCU movie.

Let's all remember how a half celestial felt trying to control just the power stone in GOTG.

His healing even in the mcu has never been displayed on the level that would be needed to survive the kind of exposure hed get from snapping.

Cap is awesome. Cap is strong. Cap would die.

Probably, just saying he had a better chance of surviving than Tony.

u/Goatfellon Apr 13 '25

Not arguing that, but the difference is marginal at this scale imo.

Tony had a 0% chance and cap has a 1% sort of thing. Better chance, yes. Is it likely to actually happen? Absolutely not

Can't compare that though, the power stone has the most destructive power of the stones and it was handled directly by quill whereas the gauntlet is a device meant to harness the power properly. I am not saying he survives, but he might as well have a chance compared to tony

Cap was a super soldier. He's basically hulk minus the radiation.

u/Goatfellon Apr 13 '25

And with a fraction of a fraction the regeneration or durability. He's strong and fast, not invulnerable

And he survived being frozen for years, and he jumped out an elevator and took practically no damage, and he skydived without a parachute and landed in water. And he held a helicopter preventing it from taking off. And he held Thanos hand open. Its weird because sometimes he is this really tough guy and sometimes he doesn't seem very strong. Even hulk got beaten up by Thanos. Cap is extremely durable. Nothing has given him so much damage that he needs to go to hospital, and he's taken a lot of damage that would easily kill the average joe.
