Plus you can't tell what those marvel.com stats actually apply to, since that speed example probably reflects his flight speed, which certainly isn't his general movement speed.

I really don't go for what those 'official' sites like to trot out sometimes, especially as they're subject to 'power creep' because they just don't leave things alone that should be left alone. Cap's Max press should be 800 lbs but given how the RPG is it actually takes the max press for someone like Cap and makes it the default ranking, hence his having Excellent strength, which means really pushing it he'd make it to a ton (and suffer injury most likely in the process). As great a character as he is he doesn't need, require, or fit the requirement for Remarkable or better strength.

Well the whole reason for the slight difference in the numbers I think the whole Peak human term is used way too much and easily. Like for instance for some reason Batman and Captain America is in a lot of ways viewed as having close to the same FASE and I do think there is a lot of similarities but in the end Cap is truly more comparable to Deathstroke, with a few exceptions like the 90 percent brain usage and self revival. What I mean is just because you work out intensively your not gonna have the ASE of the Good Captain AKA the reason for the separate roll table labeled "Normal Folks" meaning those with no powers. And another thing for a short note, in the OHOTMU comics version in the 80's, also with the SSF transforming Cap into his maxed out state he also was listed as having the reaction time of 10 times of that of a normal human which would make him look closer to superhuman reflexes AKA when Cap dodges bullets with somewhat ease . Perhaps that's another thread waiting to happen "Reaction Time". I just don't see Bats hoisting up to 800 (I believe he could bench press it) over his head and listing him at 30 endurance I mean I really like Bats but he has no powers plain and simple, in his career as a hero he has taken a lot of damage and with no regeneration or SSF (and he's getting older) of any type I just can't see him keeping the same Amped stats of a Captain America. I think that's one of the reasons Alex Ross (the great one) in the future series had Bats in a Body Armor Suit, I mean here's something else for the Marvel VS DC comparison now if ya see something like that how would you give them the same stats (ASE) That's one of the reasons I would have them listed as a slight difference in the ASE.

As I mentioned at one point I did note his increased reaction time plus he's of higher physical agility than any olympic athlete that ever competed, which would make him borderline Amazing Agility, but that might require a separate power heading to cover in-game expressions of his exceptional rankings in those areas. However do remember that Reaction Time is covered under Intuition regarding detecting and reacting to a situation, although perhaps one could consider Cap to have an Amazing or Monstrous Intuition for purposes of Initiative, or give him a flat bonus like +1 or +2.
