Steve had serious medical conditions that limited his growth. I imagine that's the difference: the other recipients of the SSS already had their full bodily growth, so there was nothing to fix.
If you want to draw an addition distinction, Steve got the vita-ray treatment, while no one else seems to have done so. It could be that a complete bodily expansion requires being microwaved while you are dosed.
Also, to put it simply, Sam may just be *better* at the non-powered hero schtick than Hoskins. Not all "highly skilled normal humans" are created equal.

Yeah, I think Bettany's real face as any character other than Vision would would break the fourth wall, but they could go directly to the disfigured and masked version of Doom. I feel that origin stories work best as little hints here and there in a tale already in progress -- eg, if Doom were simply to say "You did this to me, Richards" somewhere along the way.
An actor who can be as expressive under heavy makeup and prosthetics as Bettany is someone to keep on the payroll.

Not familiar with Bettany in a role in which he wore "heavy make-up and prosthetics" - as the Vision he wore relatively light make-up [a bald cap and cowl] and on WandaVision they have dropped the cowl and it is now just the bald cap and face paint - nothing challenging about that as far as acting goes
Bettany really wanted Vision to come from a place of zen, he says, "because to be in the suit and the makeup and the prosthetics, you really needed to be in a meditative state to not rip it off your face."

If there’s a bit of time between now and the next Vision project, Marvel could cast him in an additional role. Important characters played by the same actor in a series (or a set of related series) can be distinct from each other, such as Jeffrey Combs’ performances as Brunt and Weyoun and Shran on Star Trek.He's still on the payroll as Vision.
Might also be a flashback.I dont know, it could be a set photo of upcoming episodes, maybe the near end of episode 6:

This episode should have being called Erskine's words.
"Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man." "To the little guys."
In one way I feel sorry for him. Because I think most of us we would try do same Walker did. Try live up to the shield, live up to a pressure of being Cap. We would eventually all breakdown. After taking constant beating, taking losses and being disrespected. There is only one Steve Rodgers. There will never be another one. And no one could really replace him and live up to his legacy. We all did many things under pressure, we all cracked here or there. How many times you would take high road etc. I can only imagine with serum amplifiying all that we would eventually do something similar to what Walker did at the end. Even though most of us wouldnt admit it.Yeah, they’ve done a good job of setting up the background to show us that he wasn’t an innately bad guy and initially wanted to be the best Cap he could be.
Also, in Cap TFA I seem to remember them using a number of SSS vials on Steve - whereas the other recipients only got a single vial, maybe the dosage + the rays account for Steve's physical transformation- occams Razor suggests it's more likely a writer's oversight, although in CW I think the death squad dies who were injected with SSS got more muscular, will have to go back and check.
Heinz took a sample of the serum, the plan was to shoot Erskine so the US couldn't recreate it, he'd bring it to Hydra and Hydra would use it to create an army of Super Soldiers. Hydra didn't count on Captain America stopping Heinz though, so that threw a wrench in their plans.Why on earth did Hydra shoot Erskine since he was the only one who could successfully create the serum? They and everyone else have spent the last century paying for that mistake and trying to recreate it.
Would be cool if there's a show where someone goes back in time to try to save him or gets ones he created from a different timeline. If time travel followed Back to the Future rules and someone did save him and alter history then imagine if an Avenger had to also go back and correct that and had to be the one to shoot him now instead.

What happened to that sample?
Isn't Loki time traveling? but I doubt he would go to that point.Would be cool if there's a show where someone goes back in time to try to save him or gets ones he created from a different timeline.

See video below, it got destroyed.What happened to that sample?
Don't forget that everyone whose received "the Super Soldier Serum" has actually received something different. The Red Skull's version was "incomplete", with Erskine finishing it some time later for Steve. Bucky got Zola's effort to recreate it, while Bradley presumably got the "open" recreation effort from the US government. The five new winter soldiers from CW got stuff worked on by people connected with Howard Stark ( if not Howard himself ). Blonsky received an old prototype pulled out of storage, probably connected to government efforts to recreate their success with Isaiah Bradley. And Dr Nagel created his own stuff using old blood samples.
Between the different people and the decades of time, is it any shock that the results vary?
