Marvel reveals how Captain America survived frozen in ice for almost 70 years in the MCU.


Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, survived being frozen in ice for almost 70 years in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). There has always been some great debates on how exactly Cap survived all that time in the ice but in regards to the MCU it was always speculation and just assumed that it was because of the super soldier serum that was injected into him.

However, thanks to Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. in Las Vegas, fans now have a scientific explanation of how exactly Cap survived. As it turns out, it is because of a biological process that is usually only seen in animals.


In case the image is taken off Reddit, here is what is says one more time,
"Physical examination of Capt. Rogers revealed that while thickened, his blood's water was not frozen. Blood tests revealed that his blood contained excessive amounts of glucose as a result of his liver processing his glycogen stores, thus lowering the freezing temperature of blood-borne water and creating a 'cryoprotectant'. This process is similar to that of Water-Bears (Tardigrades) and hibernating Wood Frogs who metabolize glycogen in their liver to circulate copious amounts through their body to reduce the osmotic shrinkage of cells and stop from freezing. This, however, has never been seen before in humans."
