Summary: When their attempts to recreate the super soldier serum failed, Hydra started trying to breed Captain America clones from his genetic samples. Unfortunately, the serum’s effects aren’t passed down genetically, so instead of an army of tiny Captain Americas, they get a bunch of tow-headed, asthmatic, allergic, immune-compromised little Steves. And then the Winter Soldier stumbles across Hydra’s failed experiment…

Recommendation: This was so good, OMG! All of the tiny “Steves” were so recognizably Steve but at the same time still very much their own characters. The soldier is the scariest nanny/mommy that has ever been, that doesn’t stop him from being the best though. I love that even though the soldier is the one rescuing the kids, it’s the kids who really break through his training and help him remember and re-humanize him.
