Is Captain America's super soldier serum just plain old steroids?

Asked by talljasperman (21919points) July 27th, 2014

Seems believable to me. What do you think? Also would the military not use steroids with their troops in real life?

No, steroids cannot make a man already in his 20s any taller. Captain America didn’t just pack on muscle, he grew taller and broader. That indicates changes in bone structure, not just muscle.
