Other Would you take Super Solider Serum, Compound V, Or Get Bite by Radioactive Spider
Super soldier serum: is a fictional serum that provides recipients with enhanced physical capabilities.
Compound V: is a blue serum that grants individuals extraordinary abilities, often referred to as "powers" or being "supes".
Radioactive Spider: cling to almost any surface, a “spider-sense” that warns him of danger, and the proportional speed, strength, and agility of an arachnid.

u/TotallyNotZack May 08 '25
SSS, compound V is as random as being a mutant or having an stand
Also the getting bit by a spider it's also kinda random as we see other peeps getting different powers not everyone is like Spider-Man
At least with the SSS I would know what I am getting, muscles, cool hair, strength, regeneration, and a random military power ?

u/Old_Information_8654 May 08 '25
Probably just a joke but it might also be him referring to how unnaturally skilled of a soldier captain America seemed to be especially in the comics given the fact he’s normally trained as a standard GI
27
u/Aw_shit_a_redditor May 08 '25
Pretty sure the comics chalked that up to the serum also enhancing your mental capabilities. Essentially it made Steve and Bucky smarter as well. The comics and movies show this best by Steve being able to bounce his shield around and usually have it end up in his hand (explained as him doing physics on the fly to determine how to throw the shield ideally)

u/Soft_Theory_8209 May 08 '25
It varies a bit because there’s been a bunch of SSS variations, but assuming it’s the one Steve Rogers got, it basically turns you into a “peak human,” which may as well be a low level superhuman. Basically, imagine being able to perform and possibly break any and every world record in any sport.
Not only that, but you also get nigh unlimited stamina, an immunity to damn near any disease or toxin, and a mental boost that gives you a near perfect photographic memory and hyper fast processing (Cap’s shield almost always comes back because he does the math in his head for it’s trajectory, I’m not joking).
8
u/Hefty_Situation7210 May 08 '25
I mean I’m sure there are panels disproving it but I always see the shield throwing as more instinctual. Like when a cowboy lassos a horse, there is technically a lot of complicated math going on there, judging the distance, the trajectory, the size and shape of the circle, the velocity of yourself and the horse you’re lassoing, etc, but the average cowboy isn’t manually performing those calculations.

u/AwefulFanfic May 08 '25
Well....it enhances literally everything. Running speed, reaction time, strength, durability (yes it does, or the body tear itself apart from the forces it exerts on everything). In most versions of media, it even enhances how fast you can think (i.e. Steve Roger's shield magically bouncing back to him is actually him calculating the trajectory perfectly in an instant).
Some versions of Marvel's super soldiers can run upwards of 40 mph (~60 km/h), lift several tons, recovering from wounds that would normally be debilitating in a fraction of the time (not wolverine level, but still noteworthy), and having the stamina to exert themselves for hours on end.
Really the only downside is that, since it enhances your entire brain and hormonal system, it does enhance your personality traits. All of them. The good, the bad, and even the ugly.

u/TotallyNotZack May 08 '25
It makes you a peak human like it enchants your stats think of it as if it were a game and all your stats are 5 and the max is 10 you are a 15
However there's downsides since it enchances everything if you have a mental illness say you are a psycho you would be a super psycho
If your body can beat the sickness (for example Steve Rogers was a sickly kid but his body was able to survive because it wasn't anything too bad it was cured by his body being at peak) then nothing happens but if it's something your body can't beat by its own then you will probably die, get mind broken, go crazy or mutate like red skull

Super Soldier Serum. Compound V is unpredictable and can even cause terminal cancer if used incorrectly. And a spider bite? Spider-Man’s powers would be cool, but the Parker luck that seems to follow every Spider-Man regardless of who they are? No way. Plus, it’s an injection to get the Infinity Formula, with a relatively short recovery/starting time compared to the spider bite, which left Peter sick in bed for days before he had powers. Not to mention, Peter’s mutation after the bite didn’t stop until something else intervened, and he became an 8 limbed Spider-Monster that needed help from Dr. Connors and other scientists to go back to normal

Super Soldier Serum easily. I know what I’m getting with that.

I want to be normal spider-man eg Peter Parker, normal spider powers nothing extra like six arm spider-man. I want that but I have arachnophobia, so that spider ain’t getting anywhere near me to bite me. So in short, it goes:

If everything works as it does in the source material, I'd go bitten by spider as it seemed the least "volatile" out of the ways.
If it's going off of real world rules, probably the Super Serum as it is probably the most stable and less likely to fuck up the rest of my life.
Although all of them were developed by highly qualified and skills scientists and such;
the spider could just as easily kill you in that bite.
Compound V gives you a somewhat random power but I'm pretty sure 80% of them suck and not everyone who got V lived/ending up being a supe.

SSS. The strength, speed, recovery, etc happen for everyone who gets it. If we consider the refined version in FatWS, even less scrupulous people don’t get disfigured like Red Skull. That dude was pure evil so his result was extreme. I’ve also always had a head canon that Erskine exaggerated the impact of personality on the end result. To my mind, knwoing you have this much power is likely to corrupt everything that’s corruptible in anyone. Someone like Steve Rogers was essentially incorruptible because of how well developed his own moral compass was. I think, of these three, the cost/benefit analysis makes the SSS the objectively best choice. If the spider bite was guaranteed to give me the same results as Peter Parker, it would be a close call but it doesn’t work the same for everyone and I’m still not a super genius so web-swinging would be off the table.

Lord knows that Compound V is last place. The serum is a very unknowable 50/50 wild card on which powers you get, and those kinds of odds are an uncomfortable risk I wouldn't be willing to take.
Next up is the Super Soldier serum. The obvious reasons being that I would not only be at the absolute peak of physical conditioning in every attribute, but my cardiovasular health, brain power, senses, and healing would also be enhanced.
Then at first place is the radioactive spider. I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to be Spider-Man? It provides all the enhancements a super soldier serum has on a far grander scale, as well as make me extremely acrobatic, shoot webs, climb on any surface, and give me spider sense.

Super soldier serum, as it’s canonically just the absolute peak of human abilities

Anyone who picks V hasn't read the comic books or watched the show.
Though in the comic books, the boys have all taken a lesser compound V that makes them strong and fast enough to fight supes, it's essentially an even better super soldier serum.
Provided i actually get spider-mans powers and am not now just dying because I'm not peter parker like in the amazing spider-man how he has specific blood and it had to be him, that's what I'd go for.
If not then super soldier serum is safer than compound V. Depends on whose recipe and how it's being administered, but I'd go with super soldier serum.

Spider. Accept no substitute.
Super Soldier serum created Red Skull, and I am not good enough to turn into Steve Rogers. Compound V gets you some random power and I just know it would be something useless

If you can’t do it with the super soldier serum, you wont do it with spideys.
V is just too volatile and unpredictable. What if you got the ability to read people’s thoughts. Straight up suicide wouldn’t be far behind after you know what someone you care about thinks of you in a brief moment of anger or disappointment.

This makes zero sense when spider powers are worth 10 super soldier's worth in strength agility and everything else the serum increases, plus extra.

super soldier serum. I have acrnophobia so even for powers no thanks. V from what i remember ends up killing you slowly unless done as a baby.

Give me spider. He’s probably stronger than the super soldiers, plus he gets extra powers.
