Captain America's Grossest Use of His Super Soldier Serum Basically Makes Him a Vampire
Sam Wilson gains super soldier abilities by drinking Captain America's blood in the "Heroes Reborn" storyline, much like how a vampire creates new vampires. Despite the unhygienic method, Cap's plan works and Sam helps defeat the villains with his new powers. The controversial storyline saw some characters canceled and relaunched, with mixed responses from fans.
Vampires are currently running amok in the Marvel Universe thanks to the Blood Hunt crossover event, but one use of his super soldier serum basically made Captain America a vampire before all of that. In the Heroes Reborn continuity established in the 1990s, Sam Wilson gains the same abilities as Steve Rogers thanks to sharing the latters super soldier serum. However, the way he gets them is rather gross.
Released in 1997, Captain America (1996) #5 sees Cap taking on Red Skull and Master Man as they establish a new branch of Neo-Nazis and attempt to blow up Los Angeles.
