cap jumping off buildings

[Jack]

Because he's Captain goddamn America, that's why. Don't make him call you son!

[Mac Danny]

Do you think that A on his head stands for Afraid of Falling!!

He's Captain F#@Kin America man!!

Plus a vibrannium laced shield does absorb the impact supposedly similar to the 616 cap.

Do you think that A on his head stands for Afraid of Falling!!

Psst, "acrophobia"

Psst, "acrophobia"

It's funnier his way.

Captain Acrophobia!!

I thought he always jumped and landed on his vibranium shield which took the impact out of the hit.

In 616 that's correct. I don't think they have made any statements about an indestructible vibration absorbtion properties in Ultimate's shield. I also seem to remember him having to "pound some dents out" or something.


Of course the writer may have not known that.

I mean banner turns into hulk but you dont question that.

This is completely invalid.

The parts of a story that are clearly explained or shown to be different from our world (for instance, Banner turning into the Hulk) are not an excuse for the writer to do any crazy thing they want to do in the story. Using the inclusion of the fantastic to allow the writer to break the consistency of the story is lazy writing.

Then I would have to say because it is fiction and the super soldier serum turned him well a super soldier. Hell he was frozen for 50 years in a underwater iceberg in the ocean, jumping off a building shouldnt be a problem.

This is better and probably what I'd answer. Cap can survive extreme situations because he's much tougher than an ordinary person because of the super serum.

I don't know the Ultimates as well as some of the others, for those who do, is it accurate to say that Ultimate Cap operates at a higher power level than 616 Cap?
