2. He transformed from a figure of fun into a hero
There’s more satire in The First Avenger than many remember. When Steve is transformed, via the super-soldier initiative, into the chiselled man-mountain that is Captain America, an unfortunate series of circumstances means he’s almost immediately whisked away to become the laughably costumed face of war bonds.
Mocked by pretty much everyone he meets, it takes a dramatic, daring rescue of his close friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) from the clutches of Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) for Steve to prove himself to the entire world. From zero to hero? Rarely was that sentiment more truthful.
