The ‘Actually has a really good comeback but stutters while saying it’ squad:

me: *leans in close so that i am whispering urgently into ur ear* steve rogers became a superhero solely because he was a brave, selfless, compassionate man. dr. erskine chose him because he saw that steve was a good man who understood the responsibility that we as humans have to care for each other, especially those who possess the power and strength necessary to defend those who do not. the serum made him bigger and stronger but nothing changed on the inside because he already was captain america in his heart- he already was a man prepared to fight and die to protect others and for what he knew to be right. steve rogers’ superpower is and always has been his extraordinary love for humanity and his belief that as long as you can fight for what is right, you must because the good and the light in the world is worth fighting and dying for. steve rogers’ inherent goodness is what makes him a hero above all other things
