If you adjust for superpowers Sam Wilson is inch for inch and pound for pound the strongest and most agile of the team. The reason he hasn’t been experimented on is because he already has like 800lbs of pure awesome.
I mean try it your damn self. Do a plank for two minutes.
Ok, did you do it?
Did you not because your core muscles clenched in fear? I know mine did.
You have the assistance of the earth to hold you up, meanwhile Sam is in a constant state of plank going like eighty miles an hour in the sky against all kinds of wind conditions and shit.
But SAM MOTHAFUCKING WILSON is like no I am a graceful torpedo.
ALSO WHO THE FUCK CAN HOLD STEVEN GRANT ROGERS (6′1″, 200lbs) IN ONE HAND and drag him along through the air mind you LIKE I TRIED TO PICK UP MY EIGHTY POUND DOG IN BOTH HANDS AND I THINK I PULLED SOMETHING.
Does this man just casually bench 400lbs on arm day? Does his bicep curl move the entire machine???? WHAT KIND OF MAINTENANCE REGIMEN DOES HE HAVE?
I feel like Sam does body weight workouts on all the DC light poles he can find like man I gotta take the ferry somewhere, better get my workout on.
Ugh CAN U IMAGINE
HE PROBABLY DOES LIKE TWELVE MINUTES OF EACH POSE EVERY DAY
THere’s probably an instagram account of the mysterious DC planker with like 7million dudebros following trying to figure out which protein he takes.
The wings are a fucking jet pack there is no way you can convince me they’re anything less than 50 lbs of dead weight deactivated, and then over 300lbs of torque strapped ten inches from his asshole. He’s just casually maneuvering this shit without getting thrown are yOU KIDDING.
I feel that Tony would be a far second because he moves his equipment around all the time, therefore has big arms, but I also feel like Tony is the kind of man to not know his macros and who never learned to lift with his goddamn legs and therefore has injured himself countless times until Rhodey forced him to build lifter bots.
AS A FOLLOW UP HE PROBABLY RECREATES THIS VIDEO BUT WITH STEVE
Hell yes. Sam’s a PJ, Air Force Pararescue. Do you know how incredibly badass that makes him? No? Go take a gander at this. Some highlights:
“The process of becoming a “PJ” is known informally as “the Pipeline” or “Superman
School”. Almost two years long, it’s among the longest special
operations training courses in the world. It also has one of the highest
training attrition rates in the entire U.S. special operations
community, at around 80%“
You know what the attrition rate is for the Army Rangers? At its highest, 65%. Navy SEALs? 75% These are people who parachute into combat and disaster situations, perform field surgery in the harshest conditions in the world (sometimes under fire), and do every damn thing they can – including DIE – to get people out. Their motto? “That Others May Live.” That’s not enough? How about this:
“The qualifications and capabilities of Pararescue teams are extensive:
all PJs are qualified experts in Advanced Weapons and Small Unit
Tactics, Airborne and Military Free Fall, Combat Divers, High
Angle/Confined Space Rescue operations, Small Boat/Vehicle Craft
utilization, Rescue Swimmers, and Battlefield Trauma/Paramedics.”
FUCKING BADASS. And Sam? Sam Fucking Wilson? He was picked for the EXO-7 program, which means that he was one of the best damn PJs out there to have been selected.
Sam Wilson didn’t become a superhero when he strapped on his wings and joined the Avengers. Sam Wilson was already a goddamned superhero.
