Which ‘Captain America’ Girl F**ked Steve Rogers: Natalie Dormer, Laura Haddock, or a USO Dancer?

'Love Lies Bleeding' Is Secretly the Best Hulk Movie So Far

'abbott elementary's showrunners knew josh segarra was the perfect manny: "we wanted someone who felt very warm, but also a little suspect", how to watch the marvel movies in order, marvel shocker: studio realizes they need to make tv shows for television.

Disney+ ‘s latest MCU series She-Hulk: Attorney At Law finally reveals a major secret about none other than the O.G. Captain America himself, Steve Rogers ( Chris Evans ). In She-Hulk ‘s series premiere, Jennifer Walters ( Tatiana Maslany ) is determined to get her cousin Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) to reveal if Steve Rogers died a virgin. It’s a question that has dogged the fandom for years: did the wholesome and shy Steve Rogers get laid before he was trapped in ice for almost a century? Was “America’s Ass” ever tapped? And it’s not just fans who want to know; Natasha Romanov (Scarlett Johansson) also tried to pry some information about Steve’s sexual history in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. 

While Bruce Banner does his best to keep his buddy’s romantic history on lockdown, in the mid-credits scene for She-Hulk “Episode 1 “A Normal Amount of Rage,” Jennifer sneaks the truth out of him. She pretends to be drunk and distraught over the fact that a hero like Captain America could have died a virgin. Hulk can’t take it anymore and says, “Steve Rogers is not a virgin. He lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour.”

Not only is this huge, but it’s MCU canon. In a recent Variety interview , She-Hulk showrunner Jessica Gao said, “not only was Kevin [Feige] on board with answering the question…he supplied me with the canon answer.” Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has officially confirmed that Steve Rogers has f*cked! Even Chris Evans reacted to the news that Steve banged a broad in 1943, by tweeting three laughing emojis followed by one with the mouth zipped up.

😂😂😂🤐 #SheHulk — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) August 18, 2022

However the revelation in She-Hulk that Steve Rogers lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour begs another question: whom did Captain America lose his virginity to? Can we find the woman who served her country in this extraordinary way in the 1940s set MCU film Captain America: The First Avenger ? And is the woman in question none other than Natalie Dormer’s flirtatious, horny lieutenant?

Whom did Captain America f*ck in 1943? Well, it seems there are three possibilities, and none of them are Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell)*.

* You know, because Peggy was in Europe fighting the war while Steve was shilling war bonds in America with the USO.

Did Natalie Dormer's Lt. Lorraine F*ck Captain America?

When you think of girls Steve Rogers kissed in Captain America: The First Avenger who aren’t Peggy Carter, Natalie Dormer’s Lt. Lorraine is the person who immediately springs to mind. After Steve bravely saves Bucky (Sebastian Stan) and the rest of the soldiers captured by HYDRA, he is feted as a hero. No one goes harder in their thanks than Lt. Lorraine. She sees Steve and immediately corners him behind a shelf to make out with him. Hard. Peggy sees this, which causes a rift between the two soulmates.

Dormer’s splashy MCU cameo came during the limbo between her work as Anne Boleyn on The Tudors and playing Margaery Tyrell on Game of Thrones. She immediately popped, though, as her character seems to give Steve his first canonical kiss.

However now that we know that Steve got laid during the USO tour in 1943, we know that’s not true. He had been kissed. And more. Just offscreen.

Natalie Dormer does not play the woman who boned Captain America for the first time. We know this because she meets him in Europe after he leaves the USO. Hence, it is not her. It was someone he would have met earlier on that fateful USO tour…

Did Steve Rogers Hook Up With a USO Dancer?

When you hear that Steve Rogers specifically lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour, the obvious conclusion is that he must have hooked up with one of the many dancers he was touring with. After all, night after night, he was performing, traveling, and hanging out backstage with a bevy of beauties. It’s worth noting that most of the eligible bachelors at this time would be overseas fighting, so these ladies might have been especially “hornt up” backstage and Steve would be the obvious object of their attentions.

However there are two issues with this. One, it’s not really fun or compelling to think of Cap’s first time with one of the literally nameless girls in the chorus. These women are wholly interchangeable and are never seen interacting with Steve offstage. Two, are we positive that Bruce confirmed the girl in question was a USO dancer?

Consider the sentence structure at hand. Bruce says Steve lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour not Steve lost his virginity to a girl on the USO tour in 1943. “On the USO tour” is used to describe the time period Steve’s wangfest happened, not the woman in question.

So, yes, it could have been one of the nameless beauties on the USO tour, but Captain America: The First Avenger gives us one fleeting glimpse of a romantic encounter Steve had canonically at this time… with “Autograph Seeker.”

Did Steve Rogers Lose His V-Card to Star-Lord's Mom?

In the middle of the Captain America USO montage, Steve meets a beautiful blonde asking for an autograph and she briefly takes his breath away. It’s a tiny beat within the larger story of Cap’s time as a star-spangled government fundraiser, but it’s clearly important for some reason! Now that we know he lost his virginity at this time, this moment feels bigger. Is this the moment of Steve’s sexual awakening?

I’m inclined to think if there’s one girl we can safely assume is the one Steve lost his V-card to, it’s the single woman he has any romantic spark with during the Captain America: The First Avenger USO montage. The sexily named “Autograph Seeker.”

Fun fact: the role of “Autograph Seeker” was played by Laura Haddock. She would be cast again in the MCU as Meredith Quinn, Star-Lord’s (Chris Pratt) mother. This isn’t the first time the MCU has double-cast actors in two separate roles. Alfre Woodward played different characters in Luke Cage and Captain America: Civil War and Gemma Chan appeared in both Captain Marvel and The Eternals. However, it is funny to think that Captain America hooked up with Star-Lord’s mom. The MCU is smaller than we think!

So, barring the revelation that it was some random USO dancer, let’s just say this pretty all-American girl got more than just a signature from Steve Rogers.

Marvel has ended fan speculation about if and when Captain America lost his virginity prior to returning to the past to find his true love Peggy Carter – a decision the superhero played by Chris Evans makes at the end of Avengers: Endgame .

In an episode of the new Marvel series She-Hulk : Attorney at Law , it’s confirmed that Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, lost his virginity on a USO Tour, at least according to his buddy The Hulk, aka Bruce Banner (played by Mark Ruffalo ).

Evans, who has played Captain America across 12 separate Marvel films, reacted to the revelation on Twitter with a string of emojis, including the laughing-crying face and the “my lips are zipped” emoji.

The information was revealed as part of a mid-credit sequence on She-Hulk , which premiered Thursday (18 August) on Disney+.

In the scene, She-Hulk, played by Tatiana Maslany , makes the case to her cousin Bruce Banner that Captain America was too busy saving the world to have sex, effectively baiting him into violating his old friend’s privacy by correcting her: “Steve Rogers is not a virgin. He lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour” – referring to free concerts and events sponsored by the United Service Organisations for members of the American military.

Evans isn’t the only MCU actor to react to the shocking news.

Jameela Jamil , who plays the supervillain Titania on She-Hulk , responded to Evans’ tweet with a string of skull emojis.

Evans recently made headlines talking about his own quest for love while promoting his Netflix film The Gray Man .

Captain America's 15 Greatest Moments In The MCU

With the fourth Captain America film still on the horizon, let's take a moment to celebrate the best Captain America moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The star-spangled man with a plan had quite the run. To make things a little simpler, this list will focus on Steve Rogers played by Chris Evans. The MCU's Captain America is currently Sam Wilson, who will be the protagonist of the upcoming fourth film . Sam had a handful of great moments already in the MCU films and "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" — from using his VA therapy training to talk down a would-be supervillain to preserving Isaiah Bradley's legacy and fixing a boat with Bucky Barnes — but since he didn't officially become Cap until the end of the Disney+ series let's use this list as a send-off to Rogers. 

No love will be paid to John Walker's Captain America . The only "good" moment in the MCU associated with him in "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" was the marching band cover of Cap's "Star-Spangled Man" theme song ... and even that was a bit of cultural appropriation within the context of the show. Also, attention must be paid to Evans' cameo in "Thor: The Dark World" as Loki doing a Steve Rogers impression/illusion. It may be Evans' best moment, as it allows him to be simultaneously a little more cynical and silly than he usually is as America's golden boy. As for the man himself, here are Cap's 15 greatest moments in the MCU.

15. Meeting Peter Parker, Captain America: Civil War

Team Cap and Team Iron Man made a  sensible choice by duking it out in an airport. The big "Civil War" battle has minimal damage, and there are virtually no innocent bystanders to be found. However, the rather dull location means that it's up to the characters to give us memorable moments rather than the action itself. For the most part, the divided misfits of the Avengers deliver with friendly check-ins and the occasional joke.

One of the best character moments in the airport fight is when Cap stops to compliment Peter Parker and they briefly bond over being from Queens and Brooklyn. Sure, they're on opposing sides, but borough recognizes borough. Steve's respect for the kid on the opposing side grows (or is at the very least validated) by the realization that they come from similar backgrounds. They're both underdogs. It's not his  greatest moment, but it's up there. Also, not for nothing but it's always pretty funny when famous Bostonian Chris Evans has to hard commit to being a New Yorker. Maybe every time Cap meets a new character it's a good moment, honestly ... "I am Groot" and "I am Steve Rogers" was pretty great too. 

14. Fighting Thanos, Avengers: Infinity War

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is not lacking in good performances, but there isn't a lot of time for wordless moments or subtlety, especially on a first watch. There are little things you might pick up while hyper-fixating, or via fandom creations in gif or supercut format, but for the most part, there is a lot of action and exposition to get through and not much time for micro-expressions. So when Josh Brolin's Thanos manages to look genuinely taken aback, in the middle of a huge battle and with a CGI face, because Steve Rogers put his whole body in between his snapping fingers, that's a pretty powerful moment!

Cap doesn't have a quip. He doesn't even need to say "I can do this all day" because it's implied. At the end of the day, Steve Rogers is the one most willing to literally throw himself onto a problem. It's been that way since the character's inception in this universe. This is not his most heroic moment, and he ultimately loses, but it's why we root for Steve in the first place.

13. The USO Tour, Captain America: The First Avenger

The tragedy of Steve Rogers is that his disillusionment with the United States of America started almost the moment he became its symbolic hero. The super-soldier serum had barely settled in his body before he was sent on a USO tour as a glorified advertisement to get average citizens to help fund the war effort. The army wanted a battalion of super-soldiers, not just one guy, so they turn him into a mascot instead. Steve is almost immediately over it. 

This is also a great moment because it allows Chris Evans to, albeit briefly, get back to show off his song and dance talents. The "Star-Spangled Man With A Plan" song is a bop, but while Evans might enjoy being on stage, Steve Rogers hasn't grown into his charisma yet. This moment shows Steve at his most uncomfortable and powerless. He's  bored . 

12. Recognizing the baseball game, Captain America: The First Avenger

By the time Captain America wakes up in a hospital at the end of "Captain America: The First Avenger," a first-time viewer may have totally forgotten that the film began with modern-day scientists discovering him in the ice. The "Titanic"-esque framing device pays off, however, when Steve slowly realizes that something is off. The nurses look wrong. The baseball game playing on the radio already happened ... in fact, he was there! What's going on? Is he dead? Is he in a POW camp? Nope, he's in the future. 

When Steve realizes this and runs all the way out into modern-day Times Square, it also creates an interesting divide between the character and the audience. We're excited because we know that this means he can join the Avengers, but he's bummed out because it means his entire world (including Peggy Carter) is gone. It's a bittersweet ending and kind of rare for this genre. Side note: It is REALLY irresponsible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to use a radio broadcast from  before Cap went into the ice, don't you think? It's not like that information is a secret.

11. Meeting Sam Wilson, Captain America: The Winter Soldier

At the beginning of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" our hero makes a new 21st Century BFF: Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), the future Captain America. How do they meet, or meet-cute if you prefer? A friendly jogging competition. "On your left" became a secondary catchphrase for Captain America — both Steve Rogers  and  Sam Wilson in this case — due to the strength of this scene and this moment. It's called back at the end of the film and, famously, in "Avengers: Endgame" as well. 

This moment established early on that Steve and Sam's friendship was not going to be anything like Steve and Bucky's friendship. It also gave us hope, for the time being, that Steve may not have such a hard time adjusting to post-war and post-freeze life after all. He's out and about in our nation's capital! He can make friends! He can have a work-life balance! He's gonna be fine, right?

10. Fighting a younger version of himself, Avengers: Endgame

The time heist in "Avengers: Endgame" falls apart when some of the Avengers get too close for comfort with their 2012 selves. The biggest clash comes when Steve runs into his younger variant on a walkway in Stark Tower, and the variant assumes that time-traveling Steve is Loki in disguise. 

It's always fun, in a little kid smashing toys together kind of way, to see a superhero face off against another version of themself. It's the "who would win" that we never think to ask, but this moment has so many mini-moments that stuck with fans as well. There's the self-serving "that is America's ass" comment that became a meme . There's younger Steve saying "I can do this all day" and older Steve wincing at how corny it is to be on the other end of that catchphrase and responding "yeah, yeah, I know." There's  also the fact that older Steve knows the quickest way to disarm his younger self is to tell him that Bucky's alive ... so good.

9. The public school PSAs, Spider-Man: Homecoming

Speaking of memes, easily one of Steve Rogers' best moments is his cameo in "Spider-Man: Homecoming." If you thought the USO tour was the last time that the government would use Captain America as a symbol, you were wrong! The health class PSAs that Peter Parker and his classmates have to listen to in gym class and detention are so, so funny, and allow us to see burnt-out and bored Steve again. It also leads to one of the best post-credits scenes , and one of the only ones to take a "meta" approach to the post-credits phenomenon until "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."

"Cameos" like this are great ways to use the interconnectivity of the MCU as world-building. The little details in "Homecoming" might do double duty as fan service, sure, but they also illustrate what it would be like to go to High School in this universe. Teens would play "FMK" with the members of the Avengers while sitting out of gym class. They would roll their eyes as the guy who just saved the world explained puberty. 

8. The train station entrance, Avengers: Infinity War

Steve Rogers' beard was a moment in and of itself in "Avengers: Infinity War," so much so that people were upset when he shaved it off in the next movie. We first see it when he and the remaining fugitive members of Team Cap arrive to help protect Vision and Wanda from Thanos' associates. (Remember, Ant-Man and Hawkeye both chose to serve their sentence and ended up under house arrest.) There are so many storylines in this movie that it takes a decent amount of time for Cap to even show up, but when he does it's a  great entrance. 

When Steve, Sam, and Nat appear on the train platform you're instantly upset that you don't know what they've been up to since "Captain America: Civil War." They all look so cool in a way that the skinny kid from Brooklyn would never have believed. We now know a little of what Natasha was doing thanks to "Black Widow," but it's still not enough. Why haven't we been watching that movie this whole time? 

7. I understood that reference, The Avengers

One of the reasons the "language" moment in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was so frustrating was that it painted Steve Rogers as a stuffy old man and a stick-in-the-mud. He's actually pretty funny! The first "Avengers" movie did a much better job at playing off of Steve's old man status and allowing him to make fun of himself. There are a lot of moments where this sets him behind the rest of the team, like when the hellicarrier takes off or Tony asks him to describe something and he can only say "it appears to run on some kind of electricity." These instances really make you wonder if he'll ever fit in with the new superheroes. 

It's an easy way to turn a super-soldier into an underdog again. He can't keep up with the banter! Then, finally, someone compares Loki's army to flying monkeys, and Steve knows the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz." It's a silly moment, but a triumphant one at the same time. 

6. Sending Tony Stark a letter the second they break up, Captain America: Civil War

In "Iron Man 3," Tony Stark removes the arc reactor that defines him. In "Thor: Ragnarok," the God of Thunder loses the hammer that defines him. In " Captain America: Civil War ," Steve Rogers gives up the shield that had come to define him, but while it takes several years for Captain America to get his shield back, it only takes days for him to start repairing his relationship with Iron Man. 

Tony Stark and Steve Rogers bickered their way through "The Avengers" and "Avengers: Age of Ultron," but apparently became good enough friends in the interim that their break-up in "Captain America: Civil War" was a big deal. First, they disagreed about whether or not the Avengers needed government oversight. Tony, feeling guilty after Ultron, said yes. Steve, feeling paranoid after "Winter Soldier," said no. Then there's that thing about Tony's dad Howard Stark, and how Steve (kinda sorta) knew that Bucky killed him and withheld that information. Because of that, it's nice that Steve was the first to send an olive branch by mailing Tony a flip phone and a hand-written (kinda sorta) apology letter. The letter starts with him saying "I don't like the idea of you rattling around a mansion all by yourself," which is so sweet!

5. Jumping on the grenade at basic training, Captain America: The First Avenger

This is the defining moment for Steve Rogers in the character's debut film for the MCU and origin story. It is also why Erskine chose him to take the super-soldier serum. It wasn't just his persistence, demonstrated by attempting to enlist in the army over and over, or his innovation as demonstrated by the way he got the flag down during a training exercise. It's not just that he's an underdog who gets beat up in alleys because he can't help but stand up to bullies ... but that does certainly help make him sympathetic. 

It's the way he didn't think twice before hypothetically sacrificing his life for the sake of others. At that moment, Steve demonstrated a level of bravery and selflessness that explains why the super-soldier serum only made him stronger. If it accentuates your innate qualities, they better be good qualities. 

4. His pop culture to-do list, Captain America: Winter Soldier

Not long after Steve meets Sam, another iconic moment happens. Sam recommends Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man" soundtrack and Steve adds it to a handwritten note of historical events to research, pop culture to consume, and other things to try that includes:

• I Love Lucy (TV show)
• Moon Landing
• Berlin Wall (up & down)
• Steve Jobs (Apple)
• Star Wars/Trek
• Nirvana (band)
• Rocky (Rocky II?)

He's missed 70+ years, after all. It's a good moment because it shows Steve's willingness to listen and try new things. It's polite of him to take a handwritten note, and it's funny to think that probably every person he meets has made a similar "oh, you've gotta check out _____" recommendation upon realizing that they're talking to someone who wasn't around for some pretty eventful decades. It's additionally pretty cool that the list is different in different countries . In the United Kingdom, Disco was replaced with "The Beatles" (smart) and the TV show recommendation was "Sherlock," which probably caused a little confusion when some of the people in Steve's life looked remarkably like the cast of that series. In Korea, Dance Dance Revolution made the list. Tim Tams were a food recommendation in Australia and New Zealand. This moment really played to the local crowd.

3. Stopping the helicopter, Captain America: Civil War

There are two moments in which Chris Evans' entire character motivation is "flex arms and show off Dorito-shaped body" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These moments live to circulate on Tumblr in gif format, and we thank them for that. The first is in "Age of Ultron," when he and Tony are chopping wood and he splits a log with his bare hands. The second is this moment in "Captain America: Civil War," in which a triggered and brainwashed Winter Soldier tries to escape a fight via helicopter and Steve grabs on to it and then tries to keep it from taking off with the power of a bicep curl. 

It's a thirsty moment, sure, but it's also a great moment because it shows that Steve Rogers is willing to pull off "Fast and the Furious" feats of vehicular splendor in order to protect Bucky Barnes. Would your friends do that for you??

2. Catching Mjolnir, Avengers: Endgame

Hands down, the biggest "Cheer Moment" for Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America in the MCU happened during this pivotal scene in "Avengers: Endgame" while the group fought Thanos for (hopefully) the last time. Finally getting to say "Avengers Assemble" when everyone arrives through the portals was good, but hammer time was somehow much more triumphant. 

We knew that he might potentially be able to wield Mjolnir because of a blink-and-you-miss-it moment in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" when the Avengers are competing to see if any of them are worthy and it shifts a bit under his grasp. Did Steve actually know that he could lift it then, and he chose to pretend he couldn't in order to spare Thor's feelings? Either way, it's super satisfying when he actually does the dang thing in "Endgame" and runs to confront Thanos with both a sword and a hammer, both offensive  and  defensive weapons. 

1. The elevator fight, Captain America: Winter Soldier

"Winter Soldier" is a stand-out superhero film that borrows heavily from another genre for a distinctive tone and thrill. Before Sam Raimi brought his horror sensibilities to "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" and, heck, even before James Mangold made the secret Western known as "Logan," the Russo brothers made their Captain America sequel as a 1970s-inspired political thriller. The best scene (and Cap's best moment on film) is the elevator fight between Steve and the Hydra agents operating as SHIELD agents led by Brock Rumlow. 

Steve calmly and cooly puts together that he has been caught in a trap and is about to be arrested and/or attacked by his former coworkers. He politely gives Rumlow's men the opportunity to get off the elevator. It's not a big moment, but it's the most impressive moment and one of the MCU's coolest fight scenes to date. The close-ups and confined space actually work to the scene's advantage, making it more stressful and compelling. 

Screen Rant

It's official: captain america was not a virgin.

She-Hulk confirms Steve Rogers was not a virgin as the MCU finally settles the much-debated topic regarding the original Captain America.

This post contains spoilers for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law episode 1 In She-Hulk: Attorney at Law episode 1, the Marvel Cinematic Universe finally settles a much-debated topic in regard to the original Captain America: Whether Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) was a virgin and, if not, when he lost his virginity. The subject has been argued amongst MCU fans for years, but was finally made canon in She-Hulk . In the episode, Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) pesters her cousin Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) with her theory about how Steve Rogers was a virgin when he "died" in Avengers: Endgame . Viewers know that Steve didn't die, but the MCU world believes him to be dead - or on the moon - and Jen laments that Captain America died a virgin.

Her argument is similar to those that fans have been making for years to defend the idea Steve Rogers was a virgin. Before Steve received the Super Soldier serum that turned him into Captain America, he wasn't too interested in dating, and even when his best friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) dragged him along on a double date, he ditched it to try to enlist in the army. So it's believed Steve Rogers was a virgin before receiving the serum. After, Steve became a symbol to sell war bonds, then got involved in the war when Bucky was captured by Hydra. Then, he was frozen in ice for decades, and once he woke up, spent much of his time working with the Avengers or for SHIELD, before going on the run following the events of Captain America: Civil War . Due to his busy life, Jen argues Steve Rogers wouldn't have had time to lose his virginity.

At the start of She-Hulk episode 1, Jen lays out her theory about Steve Rogers being a virgin for Bruce while they're on a road trip together, but since they end up in an accident - and Jen becomes She-Hulk - the discussion gets sidelined. Much of the episode is spent on Bruce trying to help Jen get a handle on her new superpowers, with the cousins butting heads over when she can return to her life. But then the episode's mid-credits scene returns to the discussion of Steve Rogers' virginity with Jen pretending to be drunk and bemoaning the fact he died a virgin. Fed up, Hulk finally confirms Steve Rogers was not a virgin and had lost his virginity in 1943.

Who Did Captain America Sleep With In 1943?

Hulk doesn't give a name for the person Steve slept with, Captain America's fellow Avenger just says Steve lost his virginity to a woman while he was on the USO tour in 1943. Given that, it can be presumed Steve's first time wasn't with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), since she was in Europe fighting the war at the time. Looking back at the USO tour sequence from Captain America: The First Avenger , there is a blonde woman who seems to stun Steve when she asks for an autograph - perhaps that's who Steve slept with. However, it's just as possible Steve's first time was with a woman never pictured in the movie and that information may never been confirmed by the MCU.

This in-universe confirmation from She-Hulk episode 1 falls in line with what the writers of Captain America: The First Avenger have said about the character. In a 2021 interview, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely said they believed Steve Rogers was not a virgin, and implied the character lost his virginity during the USO tour in 1943, though they didn't specify whether that was something discussed at any point while writing the movie. For those waiting for in-universe confirmation, they got it in She-Hulk . It's now official: Steve Rogers was not a virgin in the MCU .

New episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law release Thursdays on Disney+.

Marvel Confirms When Chris Evans' Captain America Lost His Virginity

The love lives of the biggest heroes have always been a major player in the superhero genre, and that has always been represented in the MCU. Spider-Man has MJ, Tony Stark has Pepper Potts, Thor has Jane Foster, and Captain America has Peggy Carter, but the road to get him to the love of his life was anything but smooth.

After Steve Rogers found himself frozen in ice and fast-forwarded to the present, the legendary hero lost out on his chance to get the dance he had been waiting for with Carter. During his 12-year tenure in the 21st century, Rogers' only known romantic encounter before returning to the past to live out his life with Peggy was a strange one-off kiss with her niece Sharon during  Civil War .

But that has left many to question whether Rogers ever lost his virginity before going back to live out his days with Peggy, and that topic has particularly come back to light with the arrival of  She-Hulk: Attorney at Law . Not only did a clip from the series see Jennifer Walters questioning Bruce Banner on the raunchy topic, but head writer Jessica Gao revealed she was given the true answer .

Now, Marvel finally revealed when Steve Rogers lost his virginity during the series premiere of  She-Hulk ​​​​​​.

When Did Captain America Lose His Virginity?

Warning - The rest of this article contains spoilers for  She-Hulk: Attorney at Law  Episode 1

During the premiere episode of  She-Hulk: Attorney at Law , Captain America's virginity status proved to be a common topic of conversation between Bruce Banner and Jennifer Walters.

Prior to the car accident that led Walters to absorb Banner's gamma-infused blood, the She-Hulk-to-be proposed that "Captain America was a virgin."  Walters noted that, as per the History channel, Steve Rogers didn't have a girlfriend before being frozen in ice, and proved to be "pretty busy" after coming out as he went from "world-threatening disaster to world-threatening disaster."

Despite this debate cutting short, a post-credit scene finally answered the question of Rogers' virginity status during a drunken conversation between the Hulks. Banner revealed Rogers "lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour," leading Walters to expose that she was sober the whole time and declare "Captain America f***s,"  with the episode cutting before the cuss finished:

Walters: "Steve Rogers did so much for us, and he never got to experience sex. And did you see that ass? Like that ass did not deserve to die a virgin. It's like so sad." Banner: "Steve Rogers is not a virgin. He lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour." Walters: "Yes! I knew it." Banner: "You're not drunk?" Walters: "Captain America f***s."

Captain America trilogy writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely recently offered their own opinion on the matter in an interview with Yahoo Entertainment's  Kevin Polowy . McFeely was always certain that "if you look like that" and are "going city to city" signing autographs as he was in  The First Avenger 's USO tour, then it would surely happen:

“I think he loses his virginity! Why do people think he's a virgin? I think if you look like that, and you're going city to city, and you're signing autographs the likes of the ladies he's signing autographs for, I've got to imagine that [he would have lost his virginity].”

Markus also made clear that "he is not a choir boy, he's a World War II veteran," and that Rogers "isn't a prude" even though he may often be presented that way:

“And the thing to remember is, Steve Rogers isn't a prude. He may be occasionally presented that way, but he is a guy who believes in right and wrong and all these things, but he is not a choir boy, he's a World War II veteran.”

So Peggy Carter Wasn't Captain America's First?

Many may be disappointed to hear Peggy Carter wasn't Steve Rogers' one and only lover, but the revelation he lost his virginity during the USO tour makes far more sense. After all, Rogers was tall, jacked, and Captain America, the all-American hero. So, there's no doubt he would have had plenty of offers during the months he spent touring the States followed by a troop of attractive dancers.

Unfortunately, the identity of Rogers' lucky lover will likely never be revealed as she could be literally any woman who attended his shows or danced alongside him across America. But the obvious would be Laura Haddock's "Autograph Seeker," as she was credited, who approached Rogers after one of his shows during  The First Avenger .

Haddock also played Star-Lord's mother Meredith Quill in  Guardians of the Galaxy , leading many to question Gunn whether the "Autograph Seeker" could be the grandmother of the galactic hero. Director James Gunn has since joked about that being the case but insisted no connection was intended, shutting down theories on the topic .

Still, Star-Lord's grandmother potentially being the woman Captain America lost his virginity to is a truly hilarious thought that only brings further to light the connectivity of the MCU. One can only imagine the interaction that could have led to if the two had two crossed paths when the Guardians joined the Avengers in the fight against Thanos.

With  She-Hulk  having already unraveled one mystery that fans didn't know they wanted the answer to, one can only imagine what's to come from the rest of the season. Perhaps Bruce will offer answers to more questions regarding the Avengers' personal lives in the coming episodes, the possibilities are endless.

Chris Evans himself has since reacted to the show's inclusion of the theory, keeping his comments short and sweet .

The first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law  is streaming now, exclusively on Disney+.

The USO Takes the Stage

When FDR thought that the troops needed a boost, the USO answered.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, it seems like the entire United States mobilized in some way for the war effort. Men enlisted, women joined the workforce, and kids collected cans and their old comics for recycling and war bond drives. But months before the U.S. was pulled into the war, entertainers had already found a way to contribute with their talents; after President Franklin D. Roosevelt put out the call for moral support for American G.I.s, Mary Ingraham answered by founding the United Service Organizations, better known as the USO. For 80 years now, the USO has traveled around the world to entertain the troops, serving an estimated 35 million Americans in that time. Here’s how the show got started.

Mary Shotwell Ingraham graduated from Vassar College and was the president of Brooklyn’s YWCA for years. By 1940, she had moved up to the organization’s National Board. Upon Franklin’s request for services for the troops, Ingraham’s organization came together with five others (the YMCA, the National Jewish Welfare Board, the Salvation Army, the National Travelers Aid Association, and National Catholic Community Service) to establish the United Service Organizations. Roosevelt thought that the group could boost morale for the troops and also put together recreation activities for soldiers on leave. The USO was formally incorporated on February 4, 1941.

After the group was founded, USO centers proliferated across the country. The various locations hosted dances, movies, live music, and more. Free coffee and doughnuts for troops was a regular feature. However, the most common image conjured when one hears USO is that of the traveling shows that took big-name entertainers right to the men in uniform.

The USO Camp Shows kicked off in October of 1941, two months before American’s entry into World War II. The live events were basically variety shows that featured combinations of singers, comedians, actors, bands, and more. While local and volunteer talent might be found on the bill, stars of huge magnitude soon gravitated to the events. By November, Camp Shows took a stab at going outside the U.S. with a visit to troops in the Caribbean. As the war began and the calendar turned, over 180 theaters for military shows were operating the U.S.; by the end of 1942, 70 units of performers were making their way around a circuit that included North and South America, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

One of the entertainers who would become inextricably linked with the USO was Bob Hope. His first show for the group was in California on May 6, 1941. Hope would do 57 USO tours, including 48 Christmas shows, going out during every major conflict that the U.S. was involved with for the rest of the 20th Century, including World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Lebanese Civil War, the Iran-Iraq War, and the Gulf War. Hope negotiated a deal with NBC and the network carried dozens of specials assembled from footage shot during his tours. Among the other big names that went out were Irving Berlin, Rita Hayworth, and Judy Garland. Shortly after D-Day, the USO sent entertainers to Normandy to entertain troops that had made the landing and secured the beaches.

The USO continues today, and its legacy has taken a firm hold not only in daily lives of servicemen and women, but in the popular consciousness and culture of the United States. The Golden Globe and Emmy-winning series China Beach featured a USO entertainer played by Chloe Webb in its first season. For the Boys starred Bette Midler and followed 50 years in the life a performer that did USO tours. More recently, Captain America: The First Avenger had a subplot where Cap spent several months doing USO shows before he was allowed to undertake missions in the field.

Presently, the USO makes its headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, and lists more than 200 centers around the world. Classified as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, the organization has 300 paid staff and boasts more than 44,000 volunteers. In 2011, the USO was awarded the National Medal of Arts. The USO may not be an actual government agency, but for 80 years, it’s done an incalculable service for those who serve.

How Bicycles Changed Women’s Fashion and Feminism

Einav Rabinovitch-Fox

I think I may have found the original photo from Marilyn Monroe South Korea tour with Joe DiMaggio I think I have the original picture black and white with the numbers on the back is s 119 please get back to me as soon as possible I need to know if it was stolen or if I have a great find and I’d like to sell it or give it back to him it belongs to thank you very much my name is Joshua santschi

I remember going to the USO when I was in the Army, Cold War era, and in NYC, and getting tickets for Broadway shows. Later was stationed at Thule, Greenland, defending the Air Force with our Nike missiles, missed Bob Hope, he had been there the year before.

Mr. Brownfield I know the USO had good intentions with the kind of variety shows you mentioned, including the big bands. I’ve always been disappointed in Bob Hope for his emphasis on the women you and then Bob mention in his comments. He must love them too or wouldn’t have mentioned them. It makes me uncomfortable that the service men didn’t have more wholesome entertainment like the big bands. I don’t care for Angie Dickinson. Johnny Carson would have her on his show frequently for no real reason at all. It’s never made sense to me. I think Bob Hope and Johnny Carson were both lecherous men and Angie loved the attention. She’d encourage their flirting with her laughter and flirting back. Shame on all of them for their shameful ways, but especially her. She could have declined their invitations but didn’t.

I’ve really learned a lot here about the USO and what a force of good it still is after 80 years. I’m glad it started in advance of America’s forced deep dive into World War II after Pearl Harbor. They had time to hone and refine what would become so crucial over the next 4 years, and in the wars since.

Morale and hope are so important especially for the men and women putting their lives on the line, every day. Who would have been better suited to make the guys laugh and give them some fun from home than Bob Hope? NO ONE! He knew exactly what to do, and did so up into his 90s IN the ’90s! The best of the best in show biz, too. From Rita Hayworth to Brooke Shields, Marilyn, Nancy Sinatra, Angie Dickinson, and so many more. Incredible!

I’ve just added the USO to my list of organizations to help in addition to the ASPCA, St. Jude’s and Operation Smile.

How and why 'She-Hulk' finally answers one of the MCU's biggest questions: Is Captain America a virgin?

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

It’s a question that has been debated by Marvel fans for years: Is Steve Rogers ( Chris Evans ), aka Captain America, a virgin?

Considering that as a young man, Rogers was frozen in ice for six decades, then plunged immediately into action in a years-long battle for the fate of humanity, true believers theorized (obsessed over?) the idea that Cap didn’t have sex until he stayed in the past to grow old with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) following the time-hopping climax of Avengers: Endgame .

As it turns out, those obsessives include Jen Walters ( Tatiana Maslany ), the self-aware star of the new Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law , which Marvel finally, shockingly, gives us a definitive answer.

Walters is seen at the start of the series’ first episode, which premiered Thursday, amusingly rambling on about it to her cousin, Cap’s fellow Avenger Bruce Banner ( Mark Ruffalo ), in the lead-up to a fateful car crash: “He goes from world-threatening disaster to world-threatening disaster. That’s when he’s not a fugitive from the law. So it seems like he was pretty, pretty busy,” Jen says. “Obviously, Captain America was a virgin.”

Bruce is seemingly annoyed by a conversation that’s implied they’ve had many times before. But in the episode’s end credits scene, he actually clears the record.

“Steve Rogers is not a virgin,” Bruce, as Smart-Hulk, tells an “emotional” Jen, believing she’s intoxicated, as they drink outside his isolated Mexican lab. “He lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour.”

“Yes, I knew it,” Jen, who had been faking her inebriation, replies. “CAPTAIN AMERICA FU—!”

We only get the first sound of that last word (Marvel still isn’t allowing F-bombs, at least not until Deadpool formally crosses over), but we all know what she says.

Twitter reacted with appropriate delight Thursday, including Evans himself , who shared a few crying-from-laughing emojis as well as a zipper-mouth face.

Ruffalo, meanwhile, facetiously apologized : “Sorry bro. It was under extreme duress.”

In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment last weekend, head writer and executive producer Jessica Gao explained why the half-hour comedy took on Rogers’s sex life for its big debut.

“That's just a question that I think a lot of people who watched Marvel movies had,” Gao tells us. “So many of these questions [in the show] about things that happened in the MCU are a result of just real conversations that we in the writers’ room have had with our friends or amongst each other. And that’s something a lot of us talked about in the writer's room: It would just be such a shame that one of the greatest men ever, with that hot ass, could go to his grave having never felt the loving embrace of a woman.” (In case you missed it, Gao is referencing another Marvel in-joke: the quality of Rogers’s backside, which in Endgame was dubbed “America’s ass.”)

In a separate interview with Variety , Gao says the She-Hulk team cleared the gag with the head of the studio himself, Kevin Feige, who actually provided them the official company answer.

“I can’t describe to you how thrilled and shocked I was that not only was Kevin on board with answering the question, that he supplied me with the canon answer,” she said. “That is straight from Kevin’s golden mouth.”

Maslany was not previously familiar with the brouhaha over Steve’s sex life. “I thought that was just Jen’s brain, and I love that there are a whole group of people who are Googling this,” she tells us.

“This is why a show like this exists. We're finally getting to the hidden truths of the MCU."

Before having that conversation in the writers’ room, we’re wondering if She-Hulk ’s creators saw our interview from 2021 with Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely , the screenwriters of all three Captain America movies, as well as Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

“I think he loses his virginity!” McFeely reacted emphatically when we asked if they ever considered showing Rogers with a woman in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger . “Why do people think he’s a virgin? If you look like that, and you’re going city to city, and you’re signing autographs for the likes of the ladies he’s signing the autographs for, I gotta imagine that [he lost his virginity].”

“And yeah, the thing to remember is Steve Rogers isn’t a prude,” Markus added. “He may be occasionally presented that way. He’s a guy who believes in right and wrong and all these things, but he’s not a choir boy. He’s a World War II veteran.”

Markus and McFeely, it turns out, were right all along.

“And I’m gonna say it right now,” Markus added dryly. “We shot it. We filmed it. We have it.”

Maybe that comes in She-Hulk ’s season finale.

Kevin Feige knew exactly when and who Captain America lost his virginity to, according to She-Hulk showrunner Jessica Gao .

In the debut episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law , cousins Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) get into an ongoing discussion ripped straight from the MCU fandom: Is Steve Rogers, the first Avenger and now former Captain America, a virgin?

Gao told io9 that when the She-Hulk writing team broached the topic, Kevin Feige was not only on board with settling the age-old debate but also swooped in to help them settle on the details.

“Kevin was really into that joke and he actually was the one who volunteered the answer to that question,” she said. “I couldn’t believe that we got to definitively settle that issue once and for all.”

Gao also explained why the show decided to take on the topic of whether Steve Rogers had ever been intimate with anyone. “Our philosophy was really just like let’s just do things until they tell us we can’t because if you start asking for permission too much, then you’re giving people a chance to say no,” she said.

The She-Hulk showrunner also noted that when plotting out the Disney+ series, the team thought about not just what would be “fun,” but the kinds of conversations they and other fans are having. “What have we always wanted to see in the MCU?” she said. “There are some things like Captain America’s virginity that really surprised us that it kept going.”

Chris Evans, the actor behind Steve Rogers and the MCU’s former Captain America, also responded to the show’s joke on Twitter Thursday, tweeting the laugh-cry emoji alongside the zipped mouth emoji, indicating his lips were sealed.

😂😂😂🤐 #SheHulk — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) August 18, 2022

According to Evans, who answered the question in 2014, Steve’s selflessness is part of why fans hadn’t seen who he might have hooked up with. “Cap puts what he wants last. That’s his M.O.,” the actor explained. “And I think for so long he just refuses to bleed on people. So it’s hard to explore a guy who doesn’t want to make waves with his own personal conflict.”

Evans went on to encourage the prospect of seeing an onscreen relationship with a woman for Steve but admitted that he thought Steve was probably a virgin. “It’s funny when you think about it. He’s probably a virgin. He’s probably a virgin! I don’t know when it would’ve happened,” Evans explained.

When Breznican brought up that Steve did tour during the war and would have been exposed to enough women, the actor suggested that Steve was “old-fashioned” and likely holding out for Peggy Carter. But he also offered up one other — and now canonical — suggestion.

“Maybe one of those [dancing] girls blew his mind,” Evans said, laughing.

Chris Evans Has the Best Response to That She-Hulk Post-Credits Scene

Evans clearly got word of two Hulks debating whether or not Captain America is a virgin.

Does Captain America fuck?

She-Hulk 's writers wondered the exact same thing. After Episode One—which premiered on Disney+ this Thursday—draws to a chaotic, gassy close (we truly did not need the Hulk burping contest!) we're treated to a delightful post-credits scene . Jennifer Walters and Bruce Banner, the latter all Hulked out, are still boozing away. Or so it seems. Walters starts ranting about Captain America, eventually posing the question we all would like the answer to: is the man still a virgin? You know, since he went from dweeb, to jacked savior of his country, to frozen in a block of ice, to jacked savior of mankind! Not much time to sleep around, right?

Wrong! Apparently. Walters, who later reveals that she was pretending to be drunk just to get an answer from Banner, manages to obtain this important piece of information. She says, "That ass did not deserve to die a virgin!" Remember, by the way, that we see Rogers flirt a whole lot over the course of his MCU journey, but considering how damn weird Marvel is about sex , we never saw much more than that. Rest assured, though, America's ass did not die a virgin. Banner reports that Rogers lost his virginity to a stewardess in 1943 on a USO tour. Walters, extremely pleased yells, "CAPTAIN AMERICA FUUUUUUUU—" and the scene cuts to black.

The response to the moment was so damn loud that even Evans himself got word of the moment. His response? Emojis. In a tweet. Simply Emojis. 🤣🤣🤣, to be exact, along the hashtag, #SheHulk. It's somehow the best response we could've hoped for. You can see it below. Anyway, rest easy knowing that Avengers: Endgame does not wrap up with the poor guy traveling back in time to be with the love of his life, only to ruin it all in the bedroom. Amen to that.

Chris Evans Teased Over His "Small Size" on USO Holiday Tour

Scarlett johansson joins captain america in turkey, qatar and afghanistan.

Captain America did his country proud this week.

As part of a USO Holiday Tour with his Avengers co-star Scarlett Johansson , Chris Evans visited servicemen and servicewomen currently stationed in Turkey, Qatar and Afghanistan. Ray Allen , Craig Campbell , Maya DiRado , and Jim Karol were also involved in the tour.

When Evans and Johansson visited Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan Wednesday, the actors hosted a 20-minute Q&A shortly before Campbell performed his biggest hits. "This is a lot bigger than Turkey!" Evans marveled. As fans cheered, Johansson added, "You guys are rowdy!"

"My first USO tour was in 2008 and it was such an incredibly touching experience," Johansson began. "I realized that you kind of have these ideas of being home, and you think of loved ones far away, and then the reality of actually being on the ground with you guys, meeting you guys face to face, hearing your stories, getting to look you in the eye, find out where you're from, find out your name—there's this incredible sense of incredible connectivity, because I don't know you guys. You don't know me. It's a real gift to be able to come here and meet all of you and just let you guys know that we really appreciate what you do. I know a lot of you are obviously far from home, far away from your families, and we love you and we appreciate you."

Unlike Johansson, this was Evans' first USO Tour. "It's been so fantastic to meet you and really see what you have to go through," the actor said. "I play a soldier, but I've never actually spent real time with people who are stationed far from their homes to understand the sacrifices made. So for me, not only is it fulfilling as an actor, but as a man it really is a wonderful thing."

"I have so much respect for you guys," he added. "Thank you for making us feel right at home."

Not everyone was happy to see two actors from The Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, one young fan said he'd hoped to see another comic book character. "You said you want Batman? You do realize he's not a superhero—he has gadgets. Both of us would whoop his ass," Evans joked. "But Batman's great, too. I'm sorry. I'm not going to make a kid cry on the first question."

Later, a man asked Johansson, "Are you a natural redhead?" The crowd hooted and hollered as she replied, "I had a really naughty answer to that, but this is clearly the wrong crowd for that."

Another child asked if Evans and Johansson are friends in real life. "No, I can't stand her," Evans teased. "Scarlett is honestly one of my oldest friends. My first movie was with Scarlett in 2002, maybe. We were little kids. She's younger than me, but she has always felt like an older sister."

After Johansson pointed out their two-year age difference, Evans clarified that the actress is "someone I look up to" because of her experience in Hollywood. "It's nice in our business to have someone you can turn to, not just as a friend, but who can relate to the experience you're going through," the 35-year-old actor explained. "Outside of the film we are very good friends."

Evans had the air base in stitches when he revealed that his "favorite" movie to make was Not Another Teen Movie . "Great lowbrow audience here!" he joked. "Sometimes you gotta put a banana in your butt. It was my first movie, and I think as you grow as an actor and have a type of career, you actually start worrying a little more...The first movie, you don't know any better."

A woman also asked Johansson if she'll ever get to make a Black Widow standalone movie—something the actress has championed before. "I don't know. I just spent six months in a rubber body condom for Ghost in the Shell . I think my days for wearing something in neoprene are waning," she said. "We're shooting Avengers 3 and 4 this year, and then we'll see how it goes."

Johansson's joke prompted Evans to clear the air about his current physique. "I am nowhere near my filming size. If one more soldier tells me how small I look, I'm just going to kill myself," the actor said with a laugh. "I haven't started working out; This is the walking around weight."

The actors took their final question from a kid who was seated in the front. "If you couldn't be, um, Captain America," the young boy asked, "what would you want to be: Iron Man or...what?"

"Well, not Batman!" Evans joked. "It's tough, because [ Robert Downey Jr. ]'s done such a great job. But as a Cap, you don't get to make the jokes. It was a lot more fun as [ Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer 's] Johnny Storm because I got to be funny. Cap doesn't crack the jokes, and it would be nice to be able to be funny sometimes. I would say...Iron Man."

Initially, Johansson didn't want to answer the question. "Don't look at me!" she said.

"Who would you rather be?" Evans asked.

"Who would I rather be: You or Iron Man? That is an absurd question," Johansson responded. "Wait, do I have to be a superhero? I can be anything? I would be happy with the Terminator."

An audience member suggested a character from DC Comics, but Johansson shot that idea down. "Harley Quinn? What? She's got nothing on me," she said. "I'm not just saying this, but the Widow always wins, so it's really hard for me to think of another person that I'd rather be. I guess...I don't know. I guess...maybe Iron Man—just because Downey gets so many sick days."

After the Q&A ended, Evans took to Twitter to reflect on his experiences. "This USO tour has changed me. ENDLESS thanks to all the soldiers I met in Afghanistan, Qatar and Turkey. Your sacrifice is heroism defined," he tweeted alongside a selfie he took with dozens of servicemen and servicewomen. Later, Evans tweeted , "I promise you that the pleasure was all mine. Thank you again to ALL service members! Your courage and commitment isn't taken for granted!"

Marvel Fans Think Captain America Banged Star-Lord's Mom

Captain America did not die a virgin, and he might have even sired a hero.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has definitively answered the question of whether or not Captain America died a virgin. It’s a fan theory that’s been turned into a running gag on the first episode of She-Hulk, where main character Jennifer Walters continually tells anyone who’ll listen that Captain America died without first having done the deed.At the end of the episode, Bruce Banner (aka He-Hulk) cuts Jen’s drunken tirade short with the definitive answer: "Steve Rogers is not a virgin. He lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour." Related: Marvel's Avengers Adding The Winter Soldier Over She-Hulk Is Its Biggest Misstep Yet Having finally been proven wrong by someone who would know, Jen ends the episode by triumphantly shouting, "Captain America Fu-."

That’s all well and good, but now that we know Steve Rogers banged at least one woman in 1943, fans have created another theory: Steve Rogers banked Star-Lord’s mom.

The only evidence to support this theory is a clip from the original Captain America showing Rogers on the USO tour in 1943. A woman approaches him, says "hi," and we’re left to wonder what that interaction could have led to. Interestingly, the woman in question is the same actress (Laura Haddock) who plays Star Lord’s mother in Guardians of the Galaxy.

There is, of course, a fatal flaw to this theory in that Star Lord was a kid in the '80s, forty years after the deed was presumably done. It’s possible that superheroes have exceptionally long gestation periods, or that Rogers actually banged Star-Lord’s grandmother. We’ll have to wait for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to release a show which addresses this latest fan theory.

One thing we know for sure is that Captain America himself found the revelation pretty funny .

If you'd like the whole story on how Captain America's virginity became a plot point in She-Hulk, EW has an interview with head writer Jessica Gao where she discusses how that knowledge was disseminated from one Marvel writer to another. And don't believe the misogynistic user reviews --She-Hulk is great, and you should watch it.
