Agencies the world ’round borrow from Nazi experiments to create limited super soldiers, and Steve Rogers Nick Gant is swept up into a conspiracy for American conscripts to free themselves.

Pretty straightforward and interesting; recommended. It unfortunately doesn’t tie itself up neatly.

A boy discovers he has superpowers, uses them for selfish purposes, and makes his life far more complicated.

Straightforward and safe. It has an interesting enough premise, universe, and acting, to carry it well enough. Worth the watch.

Americans overreact to a misunderstanding and go on a genocidal warpath across the globe and are somehow winning except for a superweapon of peace.
