First Avenger Why Does Everyone Want a Body-Building Captain America?

thank you

Even if they weren't steroids they operate under the same principle: Take drugs so you don't have to train as much to become strong.

Actually people who take steroids have to train harder because of the increased protein synthesis.

I've only read of the serum being used for his transformation.

In more recent tellings the SSS involved a series of steroid injections.

 

[Red Mask]

The SSS were involved in his creation? Damn the retcon.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

"Steroids, real life steroids, were involved in his treatment"

How do you give real life steroids to a fictional character? Just wondering

 

[marcvader]

Screw the retcons. Why does everything have to get so freakin realistic.

Because steroids are chemical compounds that you can really obtain and use in reality, and they were mentioned, multiple times, as being part of his treatment.

no ****? Shows what my out-of -shape ass knows.

I honestly don't think its a problem, nor do I think Marvel will care. As long as they don't say the word steroids, it won't matter. It's no worse than the fact that Captain America promotes war, and patriotic America when he is trying to be sold globally. What about the punisher? Surely that promotes mass murder? Lol... Or the Spider-Man Movies promote being a whiny knob and unnecessary dancing in the street.

SM3 didn't promote dancing it condemned it.

Steroids increases your recovery and ATP (among other things). Meaning you CAN train more frequently and harder without overtaxing your system. More training, increased growth during rest peroids, and faster recovery time means you can train harder than the average joe and not slip into overtraining. If you just took steroids and trained like a b**ch (assuming you didn't have phenomenal genetics) you'd just get fat and grow man boobs.

And be really pissed, and your testicles would become microscopic.

good to know in case I ever take steroids.

Bah... the premise for the SSS should be that it is a compound that reverts the cells to their early development and differentiation state... where external stimulus used in the chamber (that he emerges from), brings him to a state reflecting a life-time of proper nutrition, exercise, rest, environmental factors, etc... rather than a life as a sickly young man, who has his prime developmental years impacted by disease.

No steroids, no contraversy... just a second chance, so that he can serve his nation, and the world in a time of peril.

Stem cell controversy, then

Bah, who needs 'em

The first part is a complete myth, there is no evidence roid rage exist, or that it isn't simply a byproduct of those who take it being a**holes to begin with.

 

[Anubis]

Ah, I see. Are you Barry Bonds?

 

[UA-Archangel]

Which allows you to wear a thong.

 

[Anubis]

I'm sorry but I fail to see how having dental floss sitting firmly between your ass cheeks is somehow a decent trade off for Tiny nutz.

Wait for your mid-life crisis.

You'll do anything to reclaim your studliness, including wearing a thong.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

No, but I know about steroids. More than most. The best studies on roid rage show a possible affect on 5% of those involved, even when high doses were used. I know tons of bodybuilders who juice, have some personal experience with the matter. Roid rage is more or less a byproduct of the fact that if you're small, but have tons of pent up aggression and have superiority issues, those may start coming out after you've packed on 50 pounds. A little jerk is simply going to become a bigger jerk. Alcohol has much more profound affects on someone's attitude.

^amen

Ah so Spoons is Barry Bonds.
