Fury was selected to be the next test subject for Project: Rebirth, as his blood work most closely matched that of Subject #22, the most successful of the previous test subjects. He was injected with a serum that gave him super-strength, which he used to free himself and the other prisoners, who then escaped.
Artificially Enhanced Physiology: Due to being injected with a prototype version of the Super Soldier Serum that was given to Captain America, his physical and mental abilities have been enhanced to beyond the peak of human potential, although some of his abilities may have dwindled with age.
Sam Sawyer, Red Hargrove and Nick Fury Sr., liberated him. They also faked his death and changed his name to protect his identity. Steve Rogers was the young volunteer that received Erskine's secret Super-Soldier Serum and is present at his assassination.
Steve Rogers was the first and only recipient of Erskine's perfected serum, granting him superhuman abilities, curing all his medical ailments, and significantly increasing his height and physicality. It also increased his lifespan, allowing him to survive to be over one hundred years old.
Nick Fury is a highly trained spy and soldier, a man who has honed his skills for decades. Now, the fact that he's been alive for so long may make it seem like he has powers but that's just the Infinity Formula. The Infinity Formula kept Fury young and spry for years but it didn't give him any other superpowers.
But, with inspiration from his grandfather and a drive to do good at all costs, he distinguished himself in a military career to earn the rank of Colonel and be appointed director of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, the intelligence agency better known as S.H.I.E.L.D.
Sam also knows that Captain America (the proper one) is an exception, not the rule. Super soldier serum amplifies the qualities of those who take it, so unless the recipient is an absolute bastion of moral fortitude like St. Steve, the effects can be unpredictable.
The original Super Soldier Serum was created by Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) while he was still living in Germany before escaping to America to get away from the Nazi party. Of course, we've all seen the movie, we know he went on to perfect his formula and give it to Steve Rogers.
Luke Cage. During his time as an inmate, Luke Cage was experimented on to recreate the Super Soldier Serum that gave Captain America his abilities by Doctor Noah Burstein.
Bucky owes his youthful appearance to repeated cryo-freezes orchestrated by the Russians. He possesses no super powers and never received a form of the Super Soldier Serum as many assume, but continues to operate at peak human ability.
Enhanced Strength: The Winter Soldier has strength that is equal to that of Captain America. Bucky's strength was greatly boosted by a serum given to him by HYDRA scientists. The Winter Soldier's physical strength is enhanced to superhuman levels.
Nicholas Joseph Fury is a fictional character portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name.
Nick Fury's Wife Is a Skrull, and He's Okay With That. Fury's wife, Varra worked for the rogue Skrull faction led by Gravik, which Fury was unaware of. Their romance was always an arrangement. Priscilla, Fury's wife, survived the Snap and mourned his absence for five years.
It was revealed in Captain Marvel that Fury lost his eye when Goose scratched him. Despite appearances, Goose is no ordinary cat but a Flerken, a fierce alien creature that resembles an Earth cat.
Bradley also reveals in episode 2 that he beat Bucky so badly that his original arm was partly smashed and the formidable assassin was forced to retreat. Clearly, if Bradley's serum variant had weaknesses, they didn't compromise his strength. In the comics, Bradley's powers are more concisely mapped out.
What you would get is an enhanced super archer, slightly stronger, faster and possibly mentally sharper than Captain America. The Serum evolved Steve Rogers from a complete and total frail-body to a superhuman, making him about 10x stronger than the average man (assuming we're talking about MCU Cap).
Who was the first person to receive the super-soldier Serum?
Steve Rogers was the first success story of Erskine's Super Soldier Serum and remains the most prominent MCU super soldier. After a rigorous evaluation process, Steve was chosen to undergo the experimental operation to gain superhuman abilities. Erskine's formula and Howard Stark's chamber worked to perfection.
There is always the chance that Sebastian Stan does make a cameo, but a substantial role for him in the movie has been ruled out. Marvel Studios has instead announced plans for Bucky to lead the Thunderbolts team in the MCU. The move gives the character another leading role after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Although Bucky has come a long way in his recent MCU appearances, his history as the Winter Soldier disqualifies him from ever becoming Captain America. Throughout the entire Cold War and beyond, the Winter Soldier operated as a Hydra assassin, killing numerous American operatives during that time.
Why did Falcon become Captain America instead of Bucky?
For the most part, Sam Wilson was chosen to be the next Captain America in both universes for the same reason: His strong friendship with Steve Rogers and his consistent career as a genuine hero more than earned him the right to wield the shield in Rogers' mind.
Fury is Captain Marvel's closest ally. Throughout the MCU's run, he's been in 11 movies and has gone through quite a lot. In Captain Marvel, we see how he acquired his eye patch (a cat named Goose, who is actually a Flerken).
Hawkeye. After Captain America, Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) is the earliest member of the original Avengers to be recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. Clint Barton was personally chosen by Nick Fury to join S.H.I.E.L.D. as a special agent and one of the director's right-hand men.
Military veteran James Rhodes is ready for combat in his advanced armor, adding a formidable arsenal to Tony Stark-created designs. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel James “Rhodey” Rhodes exudes loyalty and courage, whether flying a plane or piloting the War Machine armor.
