How realistic is this feat?

It's not.

I could pull it off.

but he's enhanced!

the closest thing we have to 'enhanced' is steroids and I doubt many athletes who use steroids can replicate such a feat. Perhaps some high level strength athletes in the NFL and WSM can do it for 1-3 seconds but not very long.

I think this guy can pull it off.

but his steroids are enhanced!

I do this as my basic warm up at the gym.

LOL

Its realistic.

I could replicate that with my pinkie.

When did comic fans become so boring?

Not very.

More realistic than real life. I could do it with ease

Not at all

It's pushing the boundaries for sure, but if strong men can pull tractor trailers and train cars with their teeth I think this maybe in the realm of possibility at least.

Dat ^(above)

Well this guy isn't isn't impressed so that says something.

unrealistic. Record for curling is like 215lbs. Cap was curling 14 times that amount.

Interesting. So Cap is like 14x stronger than a real life peak human (strength).

I think people are too focused on Cap's strength, when they should be wondering why either the rail or the helicopter's landing skids didn't break off from what they were attached to (the helicopter or the cement the railing is bolted to). The way Cap is pulling looks like the force is moving in favour of the helicopter, and that thrust seems plenty to cause structural damage if it was attached to anything.

Someone with a physics background could calculate this all out. Could probably entertain structural and mechanical engineers with this.

Not realistic

A peak bodybuilder human could probs hold onto it for 4 seconds and then fall off and die.

@the_fallen_lord: no, what he did and curling are not similar at all.

@tj849: A peak bodybuilder will get his arms dislocated by the force of the helicopter taking off...

people keep forgetting about the fact that the rotor wash from when the helo lifts should/would floor Cap. so as far as realism goes, its way off. but yes, the arms would be broken or the rail or skids. too much force involved for realism.

I mean well he is super human

It's not. For one, letting go like that would've destabilized Cap to the point of falling. Also, as someone already pointed out, that helicopter would be sustaining some serious damage.

I mean, this is ignoring the fact that no one of that size and muscle mass, regardless of any "enhancements," could ever pull something like this off.

Pretty sure most strongmen don't take steroids.

Didn't Chris Evans actually do this? Apparently he really messed up his arm though and still gets pains to this day.

Lol how long do you think it'd take to rip apart an average joe?

I thought that they had something holding up the helicopter too so he probably had a lot of help to keep it in place.

Yeah they had something to hold it in place so it didn't fly off (obviously xD) but I think that was actually him pulling/holding the helicopter without any special effects.

there really isn't much to prove they aren't except just taking their word for it (obviously none of them will admit to it while they are in the middle of their careers) however some strong men who are now retired came out and said they used it while training/recovering from injuries.

can never be done

... soooo we are just going to look at feats for realism? Cuz that will nullify almost all of them for everyo

Bout as realistic as my girlfriend.

these kinds of threads are killing my brain cells

It's fantasy. Additionally the scene is stupid because a helicopter should lift better than it can move laterally in a situation where its partially anchored. Bucky's a bad pilot and should have flown upwards.

Next feat:

Seriously though, what is the point of these threads?. Do you honestly think any of this looks realistic in any way?.

Use your head, OP. For once.

It's easy for the average gym rat to do.

I know, right?

First time I noticed he dents the hell outta that car with that kick. Probably shouldn't have been surprised but I was.

Really? That's badass
