Erskine's Wisdom
Captain America: The First Avenger
by Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely
On the eve of a life-altering experiment, Dr. Erskine explains to Steve Rogers why he was chosen for the super-soldier program. He recounts the dark history of his formula and the villainous Johann Schmidt, emphasizing that the serum amplifies what is already inside a person. Erskine urges Steve to remain a 'good man' rather than just a 'perfect soldier.'
