The current Captain America durability is based on this thread: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/U...ver_punches_Captain_America_in_the_face_(MCU)
But this thread is completely bogus, for a simple reason; in the mentioned video, Quicksilver punches Captain America UP.
If he had been punched into a wall, or into the ground, it would be potentially viable, but he does not. He punches him upwards. He does not go flying across the room or into a wall; no, he moves up about a foot and then rolls back.
Kinetic Energy - the energy transferred by a punch - by nature causes movement. No movement, no energy. So we have two options; either Captain America weighs tens of thousands of pounds, so a building-destroying punch can only move him about a foot(Force = Mass*Acceleration), or the punch is nowhere NEAR the claimed quantity.
Cap does not weigh tens of thousands of pounds. Ergo, the calc is nonsense, ergo cap's durability should be reverted to whatever it was before the upgrade.
