YMMV / Captain America: Super Soldier

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Dr. Arnim Zola is the head researcher of HYDRA and the mastermind behind Project: Master Man. Hoping to achieve immortality by perfecting the Super Serum, Zola began experimenting on HYDRA's own forces to give them an edge in battle. These experiments included augmenting soldiers with cybernetic attachments, with some procedures so extensive they turned the soldiers into mindless berserkers in a constant state of pain. When Baron Zemo tried to have Zola's research scaled back, he sabotaged an experiment that left Zemo permanently disfigured. Zola attempted to extract the Super Soldier serum from Captain America's blood, and planned to turn James Falsworth into a sleeper agent for HYDRA. Believing flesh was inherently limited, Zola used a series of robotic bodies to try to kill Captain America and use the Sleeper to start a new age free of his "inferiors".
  • No Problem with Licensed Games: While rough around the edges, and saddled with a slow, uninteresting beginning, the game clearly is more than just a meager cash-in like the Thor: God of Thunder (2011) or Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters games; it's got an imitation of the combat system from Batman: Arkham Asylum and a really huge castle full of HYDRA goons to explore. It's not quite as good as Arkham Asylum, but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The game was actually good enough that it informed the The Winter Soldier crew. Chris Evans and the Russos played it, and they were inspired to give Steve a more kinetic, acrobatic fighting style.
