fatigue-producing poisons in his muscles, granting him
phenomenal endurance. Captain America (IV) is a brilliant hand-to-hand combatant, especially skilled in American-style boxing, although he was not the equal of Captain America (I). |

| Personal Weaponry: | Captain America (IV) carried a shield that outwardly resembled the original Captain America's shield. However, Captain America IV's shield was composed of ordinary, but bulletproof, steel, and hence was far more capable of being damaged than Captain America (I's) unique, virtually indestructible shield. |
