The laugh Steve gives at that last comment is a touch wry and more than a little knowing. After everything he's done with this new body of his?

"I think I'm living proof of that, to be honest."

Humans made something powerful enough to turn a ninety pound waif into the towering figure Steve makes now. And while yes, it's made him more of a fighter, Steve likes to remind people he was plenty fierce and just as quick to jump into a scuffle when he was small. The difference is, he was usually the one who ended up beaten back then. Now when he gets beaten, it's usually by something no human was ever meant to face.

It happens more than he'd like.
