Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo have said they believe Steve created a branch timeline when he stayed in the past. If that's true, it means that if Steve had wanted to travel back to the main MCU timeline, he'd have to travel between timelines, not just backward or forward in the main timeline.

What kept Captain America from aging?

In the Marvel Comics, Steve Rogers appears able to live forever without aging. While he can be killed, he has lived for huge periods of time without aging at all because of the effects of the super serum and how it interacts with his cells.

How did Captain America survive for so long?

The serum gave him unmatched physical and mental strength, preventing his blood from freezing in the subzero conditions of the Arctic. The super-soldier serum and the freezing temperature allowed him to enter a state of suspended animation, so Cap remained alive and well for seventy years.

Why did Captain America get old but Bucky didn't?

Bucky Barnes, like Steve Rogers, has lived for several decades due to cryogenic freezing and the super-soldier serum. Bucky's life expectancy could potentially surpass Steve's 116 years, depending on circumstances. Despite outwardly aging at the same rate as Steve, Bucky can still live for at least another 80 years.

How did Captain America stay the same age?

If you were initially thrown off by seeing an older Captain America at the film's end, in 2023, you shouldn't be. Yes, Cap was injected with the super serum, but he didn't age because he was put on ice and frozen in 1945. Nick Fury tells him in "Captain America: The First Avenger" that he's been out for about 70 years.

How did Captain America didn't age?

Captain America ages more slowly than a normal person, but the primary reason he was able to live into the 21st century unchanged is that he spent most of that time in suspended animation in a block of ice.

Why didn't Steve tell Sam about Peggy?

Peggy and future Steve would have taken great care to keep his true identity a secret. And it is because he needed to keep this secret that future Steve did not tell Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) the truth about his wife when Sam questioned him about his wedding ring at the end of Endgame.

How old is Bucky in 2024?

We see that he's deprogrammed 6 months before the snap in FATWS. He's then snapped away and comes back 5 years later. FATWS takes place 6 months after he comes back. So Bucky is likely 33 physically while chronologically being 107 (FATWS takes place in April 2024, so Bucky's wrong about being 106).

Can Bucky get drunk?

Even Bucky's variant serum should allow him to age normally (unless he gets frozen again). A side effect of the Super-Soldier Serum that the Winter Soldier shares with Captain America is that neither can get drunk.

What is Captain America's lifespan?

Chronologically Cap is 66 (the years he was frozen) add his “true” age of 39, giving us 105. After the jump to 1945, he presumably lived until 2023, which gives him an added 78 years to both of his ages.

Who is the oldest Avenger?

The Avengers: Endgame ending saw Steve Rogers use Pym particles to venture through the Quantum realm and travel through time in order to return all the Infinity Stones to their original place in the timeline. Then, instead of returning to the present, he chose to stay in the past and spend his life with Peggy Carter.

How Can Captain America Lift Thor's Hammer? Simple: Steve Rogers is worthy. The inscription on Mjolnir reads “Whosoever holds this hammer, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.” It doesn't matter how strong you are, if you aren't worthy, you can't lift Thor's hammer, no matter how hard you try.

Why was gamora not at Tony Stark's funeral?

We know that Gamora wasn't at Tony Stark's funeral - unsurprising considering that she didn't know him, really - so she must have fled after the battle was won.

Did Peggy and Steve have a kid?

In the movie "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," it is revealed that Peggy Carter has children and Steve Rogers is their father. The writers of "Avengers: Endgame" confirmed that Steve is the father of Peggy's children and that they likely have super soldier DNA.

It also means he was Peggy's mystery husband, and lived through most of their lives together knowing his younger, original self was frozen solid.

Can Bucky have kids?

Surviving the war and believing Rogers had died during his last mission, Bucky eventually married Rogers' fiancé, Peggy and had two children, Marvin and Rebecca.

Early Life. James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes was born in 1925. In 1935, he tragically lost both of his parents early in his life; his mother, Winnifred Barnes had died when he was a child and his father, George Barnes had died in an accident while in basic training at Camp Lehigh.

How old is Bucky biologically?

Taking the experimentation, cryogenic freezing and time skips into consideration, Bucky is physically somewhere in his mid-30s by the time The Falcon and the Winter Soldier takes place, making him appear seventy-some years younger than his chronological age.

Did Steve lose his virginity to Peggy?

The idea of Captain America not being a virgin is not bad in and of itself. However, the how and when it happened ultimately hurts Steve and Peggy's MCU romance. Captain America losing his virginity to a USO girl in 1943 means that he did so while very clearly having strong feelings for Peggy.

Did Peggy really love Steve?

So, by 1953, if Peggy was actually with someone else, she would have had to met him, married him, and had two children, all within 3-4 years (which could happen, but isn't the most likely outcome). So, if she was reunited with Steve in 1949, that would clear that up and make sense, as they were always in love.
