"The hero does not strike first."

Captain America is full of strength, agility and endurance. These abilities are enhanced by the super soldier serum he was exposed to.

Although the 1990 low-budget movie, starring Matt Salinger, went straight to video release, comic fans may have their faith restored if the pending new version meets the expected higher standards. There's still not much information available but Marvel Studios' Avi Arad told the Associated Press: "Without giving too much away, obviously there'll be a little bit of the origin and then we come into our real world. What makes Captain America such a compelling character is that it allows you to judge history so you see where he came from and you see what he stood for."
