Cap asks Tony to watch his language in the middle of a battle.

Mid battle, Captain America pauses long enough to properly introduce himself to Thor’s new friend, Groot.

Cap dives on a grenade, to save his fellow military recruits.

Cap moves Mjolnir a centimeter, shocking Thor by proving he’s worthy.

Eventually, in one of the MCU’s greatest payoffs, Captain America wields Mjolnir against Thanos.

“There’s only one God, ma’am. And I’m pretty sure he doesn’t dress like that.”

Cap politely gives his adversaries time to “get out” of the elevator before he takes down the entire strike force.

Cap tells Loki about the last time he was in Germany.

Though clearly defeated at the hands of Thanos and his massive army, Steve tightens the buckle on what is left of his shield and prepares for battle… only to get rescued by the complete Marvel universe.

Cap keeps a list of things he missed out on, including, 'Disco.'

Steve tries to line up with the soldier’s reflection, is too short.

Steve has to admit to Rocket that, no, the soldier who has been frozen in a block of ice for decades has not been to space before.

Cap can’t lie, even when it’s telling his friend Tony Stark the worst possible truth.

Cap listens to Wanda and Vision arguing about destroying the Mind Stone, and laments all that he has had to sacrifice.

Cap hears about his new uniform, and fears that the Stars and Stripes might be a little old fashion.

Cap does what he feels is the right thing, opposes Tony Stark and the Sokovia Accords.

Steve pauses mid fight to tell Spider-Man he has heart, asks him where he’s from.

While fighting himself during a time travel mission, Cap pulls his punches, and eventually subdues himself by saying that Bucky, their collective best friend, is still alive.

Steve travels through time to finally keep that date!

Cap refuses to fight Bucky on the exploding SHIELD carrier, because it’s his best friend.

Steve turns a trash can lid into a shield, tells a bully he 'can do this all day.'

Cap leads a support group for Snap survivors.

Cap agrees to sign Agent Phil Coulson’s “near mint” vintage trading cards.

A hero out of time.

For the majority of his time in the MCU, Steve Rogers – aka Captain America – was a man out of time. A WWII soldier recruited by America to tackle Hitler and the Nazis, Captain America ended up frozen in a block of ice, then thawed in modern time with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) needed him for the Avengers Initiative. Marvel made a lot of jokes and references to Cap being too wholesome, too pure, and too good for our modern age. Here are some of our favorite times Captain America shined with nobility in the various Marvel movies.
