Gregory Mone is the author of the novel FISH. "The idea of it getting into the hands of the general population is very hard to imagine," he says.Īs for the military, the Army's super-soldier program doesn't appear to have this kind of performance-enhancing drug at its disposal, but maybe, just maybe, somewhere deep in a secret government lab. Since their goal is to help people suffering from debilitating muscle diseases, aspiring Captain Americas and "Jersey Shore" castoffs won't be getting shots of their own. Kaspar and his group are now applying to the FDA to test the drug in humans. body is experiencing some maladaptive degradation of the Super-Soldier Serum. "There is a maximal muscle size," he says. The scene in 425 then shifts to Captain America training on a rooftop with. The compound has proven to be safe and effective in animal testing, and it won't produce accidental Schwarzeneggers. "Within six weeks you can see that the muscles are bigger," he says.

His group takes bits of DNA that have the manufacturing instructions for the protein, slips them inside viruses gutted of everything but their outer coatings, then injects these stripped shells into muscle. Sam is an elite-level athlete and master hand-to-hand combatant trained by Steve Rogers. Kaspar's technique relies on a protein called follistatin to do this job.
