Steve Rogers is a small man that goes into a machine one time to emerge as a much bigger & muscle-bound man eventually called Captain America. Is this possible at all? Actually, it kind of is. While we cannot speak to the numerous powers Rogers takes on like super strength, speed, agility, etc. We CAN tell you that part of what happened with Rogers is possible.
There are some treatments people can get people to where they automatically are capable of getting better muscle mass. However, a lot of this has to do with hormones and metabolism. Things like HGH can help people grow over long periods of time naturally if they begin treatments while they’re younger. There is also a genome or genetic possibility for unborn children, as well as some genetic tampering with people after birth. The supposed “super-soldier serum” is not yet completely possible.
