In Marvel’s What If..? Episode 1, it was supposed to be Steve Rogers who would be the original recipient of the Super Soldier serum when a bomb exploded just in time before the procedure on Steve Rogers went through. Being the scrawny big-hearted courageous man that he is, he got out of the machine but got shot in the process, rendering him unfit for the procedure of receiving the super-soldier serum.
When Howard Stark knew what has to be done, he declared that the serum has to be administered right then and there, or nothing at all. Peggy, knowing that there is no other option, jumped on the chamber without hesitation, and Stark started the process, therefore, creating a super-soldier.
Superiors didn’t approve of it, of course. In the 40s, women were perceived differently, lesser than a man. She was even mocked she might lose a nail if she goes to the field. Still, Peggy proved everyone wrong when she stopped the convoy of Arnim Zola who handles the Tesseract. After that, she got her designation as a Captain.
More information is about to arrive as regards Captain Carter comic book series. Should you want to see Captain Carter in action, Marvel’s What If..? is currently streaming on Disney Plus.
