20 Differences Between Captain America and Red Guardian

Опубликовано 11 июля 2021, 16:45

The greatest sign of success is when you find out there are a lot of imitators out there trying to be you. Not only did the success of Project Rebirth in turning scrawny Steve Rogers into the guy we affectionately call ‘Cap’ lead to his own country trying to recreate that success, but a lot of other countries wanting their own symbol and super-soldier. During the Cold War, the Soviets created their own counterpart to the Cap and gave him the moniker of Soviet super-soldier. Who died. So they recruited another one. Who also died. But they just kept at it. Like with the attempts to replicate the super-soldier serum, the attempts to replicate Cap magic were met with mixed results and some unintended consequences. Most importantly, though, they missed the mark in some key attributes that make the Russian version of the hero. Some differences were baked in and reflect the differing philosophy of the people in charge and some of them are just proof that what Professor Eskine said about power and who has it and who respects it is an important part of The Cap formula. Like most foes who take on the role of being the hero’s opposite, it’s in the similarities that you can sometimes see the biggest differences. Here are some of those. What do you think is the most important difference between the Soviet super-soldier, and our homeland hero?
