I read that posting and I've been ranting that Steve Rogers can't be an army guy (Bucky is), he's a city boy, grew up in New York and when he saw a newsreel of the Nazi moving across Poland, he had to do something and recruiting to the Army was what he did. The first Cap book had a blurb implying that Steve Rogers failed the physical requirement of being a soldier and an ideal choice to show the radical effect and change the Super Soldier formula had on his body. This is just like Spider man discovering the murderer of his uncle was a burglar that he did not stop days before his uncle's death. This is what motivated Rogers to join the army, to fight evil an to help his country (And sort of a precursor to Americans joining the army after Pearl Harbor.), plus the perfect scene was in Nicienza and Maguire's Adventures of Captain America mini series 90-91, where Rogers saw that newsreel, a friend berating him, "What are you going to do?", and Steve Rogers, small, frail, unhealthy-looking, walking through a blizzard and a snow-covered park to the Army recruitment office. This is his courage, will and foolhardy stubborness that went into Captain America. To me, whoever's making the Cap movie, you have to portray this. Someone mentioned that it Die Hard 1, Bruce Willis had his feet shredded by glass and in Die Hard 4, he was firing a motorcycle into the sky to down a helicopter. It's to show that Cap is human and it's human motivation and determination are Cap's true power. Plus it's something to remember when he's storming into an army of thugs or Nazis or tanks, that he's not Superman.
