She-Hulk Says Captain America Isn’t a Virgin

The first episode of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” addresses a nosy question MCU followers have had concerning the film’s canon for a very very long time: was Steve Rogers a virgin? Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), has lastly given a resounding reply: no, he was not.

During the episode, which premiered Aug. 18, Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany), is occurring a street journey along with her cousin Bruce. Viewers see her midrant, although it appears Bruce is struggling to observe Jennifer’s prepare of thought. “Steve Rogers didn’t have a girlfriend earlier than he went into the service,” she factors out, explaining that he was too busy saving the world after he got here out of the ice in 2011 to have time for love, romance, or intercourse within the years that adopted. But simply as they get to the crux of her idea — “Obviously Captain America was a virgin” — the pair are attacked by a mysterious spaceship. Bruce later reveals that the ship was piloted by Sakaarans, an accident that results in Jennifer getting her She-Hulk powers, so it appears they’ve extra essential issues to debate than Steve’s sexual previous.

But on the finish of the episode, the present revisits Bruce and Jennifer’s time collectively, reducing to a evening when the duo are ingesting and Jennifer is intoxicated and questioning her cousin about it once more. “Steve Rogers did a lot for his nation, and he by no means acquired to expertise intercourse. Did you see that ass? Like, that ass didn’t should die a virgin. It’s, like, so unhappy,” she says, slurring her phrases.

Bruce has had sufficient and says, “Steve Rogers will not be a virgin. He misplaced his virginity to a lady in 1943 on the USO tour.” Jennifer then reveals that she was simply pretending to be drunk and responds, “Yes, I knew it. Captain America fu—” Her sentence is lower off by the credit.

What lady is Bruce referring to? In “Captain America: The First Avenger,” there’s a montage of Steve performing with a group of USO girls to be able to drum up help for warfare bonds shortly after he first takes the super-soldier serum. There’s a second the place a blond lady who watched the present could be very flirty with him, however Bruce’s feedback lead us to imagine it is really one of many girls he labored with. None of them have names and even any strains within the movie.

Perhaps most importantly, Bruce’s feedback level away from Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), who many followers have lengthy conjectured was the primary particular person Steve was intimate with. But a shut studying of the timeline of “Captain America: The First Avenger” exhibits that there is mainly no time for Steve and Peggy to be collectively. They meet earlier than he takes the super-soldier serum in 1943, however they do not start to fall for one another till 1945, they usually kiss for the primary time not lengthy earlier than the film ends. And when Steve pilots his ship into the ice — seemingly killing himself however really preserving his physique so he can seem sooner or later — he tells Peggy over the radio, “I’m gonna want a rain test for that dance.” They weren’t a couple — but.

Of course, Bruce would not checklist each particular person Steve has had intercourse with, so it is attainable he and Peggy did get it on in 1945 (they usually had been positively collectively for good after the events of “Avengers: Endgame”). Plus, some followers won’t ever quit their theories about Steve and Bucky.

Jennifer’s feedback additionally mirror that, within the MCU, most people believe Steve is dead. Bruce would not tackle that implication, so we’ll in all probability have to attend for “Captain America: New World Order” to seek out out his final destiny.
