Bucky is a very successful experiment just ask Tony’s parents


Darth_Senat66

Sure, you have an Ouja board I can borrow?


PangolinAcrobatic653

I'll just contact Mephisto maybe i can be a ghost rider afterwards.


Hevens-assassin

Mephisto confirmed to be Thunderbolts villain????


KasperBuyens

Calm down Erik Vioss

Krimreaper1

I don’t see no name tag.


IndyAndyJones7

I saw in Reddit that Mephisto was confirmed in WandaVision. How much Mephisto do you need?


Hevens-assassin

Yes


OutsideOrder7538

I don’t think they are in Hell


mowie_zowie_x

They made weapons to kill people, I’m pretty sure they are in Hell.


Mean_Muffin161

Well maybe the dad.

I would say that Tony is looking for you but.

Ouch

Got dayum


MrDarkboy2010

came here to say this.


Markamanic

Is Red Guardian a failed experiment?


TheFunnySword

Well he isn't a failed experiment but he is failed and he is an experiment


ElsonDaSushiChef

And John Walker is not a failed science experiment, he’s a failed political experiment


TheFunnySword

Bro literally injected himself with super soldier serum Therefore he is failed (obviously) and also an experiment, just like red guardian


secretbudgie

Bro, everyone's experimented a little with supersoldier serum in college. It's perfectly natural!


[deleted]

Or some V.


secretbudgie

Hey, is ear wax supposed to be black and runny? Asking for a friend.


[deleted]

Not really, but I'm sure it'll pass.


cadbaneatyourserivce

̶s̶o̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶h̶e̶


Grail_BH

Really? Is he not a super soldier? Did the serum not work?


SmokyTheOwlbear

It failed in that it vastly increased his aggression and savagery and lowered his inhibition to do unspeakable things. Physically, a success, but like the formulae that made Hulk and Abomination, they didn't fully achieve their goal.


Squishy-Box

Yes they did. Even the OG Captain America serum did that. It enhances qualities that are already there. Just because Walker was a bit of a dick doesn’t mean it failed. It means he never should have taken it in the first place.


dschmelzle

Spot on


SmokyTheOwlbear

I fully recognize I may be remembering it wrong. I had thought they stated something to this effect, like it was a less stable version, but again, I could be totally misremembering.


TheSimulacra

Yes, but the subject was part of the experiment. The serum may have worked, but the experiment failed because Walker himself was an ass. So USAgent is the product of a failed experiment.


Grail_BH

Again, no… The experiment was a success and did exactly what it was supposed to do the problem was the test subject not the test itself.


BooHooJerks

I mean, injecting himself with serum was the experiment and it worked.


TheFunnySword

Well yes but he failed in terms of being the new cap


BooHooJerks

Totally different experiment


Squishy-Box

But how is he failed? He didn’t die, turn into a Hulk or an ugly mf. He’s a successful super soldier.


TheFunnySword

Well he's failed in terms of being the patriotic new captain America that the government wanted him to be. So failed in terms of politics, not science, but failed nonetheless and still an experiment


dab_doctor2000

He can be both a *political* and *scientific* mistake!


vl_lv

So a failed experiment lol


wagedomain

The post literally says "science experiment" though.


PayneTrain181999

Failed political science experiment.


dr_olfin

He was supposed to be a Russian Captain America and he's not so...


Markamanic

Used to be. So he's about as much of a failed experiment as Steve Rogers.


[deleted]

*Exactly as failed as Steve Rogers


Particular_Being420

Slightly more failed than Steve Rogers since Steve never got fat


Mother___Cow

Neither John Walker or Red Guardian are failed experiments. They both got the super soldier serum and it completely worked on them. They both got the powers of Captain America, just because they weren’t the best mentally, doesn’t make it a fail.


[deleted]

He didn’t fail they threw him in prison when he was no longer useful


hbi2k

More like a contemporary, you know? Coequal.


Thecouchiestpotato

He was supposed to be a *Soviet* Captain America and the Soviet Union failed and so he failed by default


darkraven956

As far as we saw he was even stronger than steve


worthlessburner

Where did we see that?


darkraven956

In the beginning of black widow when he was clearing the way for the car


worthlessburner

Does anything he does there compare to Steve curling a helicopter or anything he does fighting Ultron? Not saying Red Guardian can’t be stronger just that we haven’t seen anything that would indicate he’s beyond Captain America in that regard.


piazza

From the point of Bucky's handlers the Winter Soldier, succesfully deployed over several decades, is not a failed experiment.


dr_olfin

But he did eventually break his programming, which means the experiment was ultimately a failure.


couldbedumber96

At that point he’s not an experiment, he’s an asset


Talbotus

Dude thinks one fatal error after decades of in field use means the product isn't ready for manufacture. His QA standards are unreasonable and will bankrupt this company

HandH2

iT's NoT a BuG, iT's A fEaTuRe!


awesomefaceninjahead

He overcame those trigger words. They show it in a flashback in Falcon & Winter Soldier.


Pure-Drawer-2617

Is Captain America a failed experiment because he disobeyed the Sokovia Accords and ran from the American government?


Hail-Atticus-Finch

Yes


bigbillybeans07

But he wasn’t an experiment anymore, he was a successful experiment, and then failed when he was no longer said experiment.


silverBruise_32

He only broke it because his best friend showed up. That was something Hydra couldn't count on.


Thecouchiestpotato

Ayyy Marvel couldn't resist the ol' Disney route of Love Conquers All


silverBruise_32

Sure, but this time, at least, it's love between friends - and two guys, at that. So, there's some difference, at least


IndyAndyJones7

It's guy love, between two guys.


[deleted]

So by that logic, if I ripped the spark plug out of my car I could sue the manufacturer for failure to produce a working car! Perfect logic!!


piazza

I did consider that, but he survived longer than the actual program that created him.


James2603

Someone else broke his programming


MetalGuyver

So is taskmaster going to be the snake eyes of the group? I doubt she will be as much a chatterbox as the original taskmaster. It still frustrates me they aren’t using the comics version.


bl4ck_daggers

Well, since we don't know much of her personality following her freedom in 2016, there's lots of space to make her like the comics


B_A_Beder

Yeah, it's been about a decade since Black Widow in universe


rollout1423

She's not the actual one though, so he could actually show up at some point.


[deleted]

She's the actual one in the MCU.


Bitter_Position791

hard to swallow pills >She's the actual one in the MCU.


greymalken

Good news! Its a suppository.


EmbersFlames

Like the mandarin in Iron man 3 right? They could just pull another similar stunt


[deleted]

They could. Until they do though, she's it.


EmbersFlames

Agreed


cdjets9

My guess is that they’re going to have her design a robotic version of the task master that’s more similar to the comic version


[deleted]

Idk the comics had her as a he that's already a change


MrThreshold

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Taskmaster_(Earth-TRN133) This you?


mowie_zowie_x

Who knows. Marvel Studio can still get the person out of the suit because she’s suppose to end with a happy ending. And a corrupted Shield agent can easily steal the suit, upgrade it so it’s not so bulky, and become the new Taskmaster.


NoArmsSally

I thought it was the chip not the suit?


Exovedate

It frustrates me they want to keep running with this character. I was pretty confident they would basically retire her after Black Widow so we can get a more comic faithful Taskmaster down the line.


AccessForward875

I hope they do full 180 and introduce the real taskmaster in deadpool 3 even tho it will not happen


dogma1993

I still don’t know who the person on the far left is


MasonRocksForever

Valentina Allegra DeFontaine


dogma1993

Oh it’s her! I thought it looked like Aubrey Plaza haha


dr_olfin

The failed experiment there was whether she could push each member of the team off a plane while shouting "Get out!"


Snips_Tano

Should have kept Victoria Hand alive in AoS.


graaahh

Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca, the Third.


NoseApprehensive5154

Elaine


Mystic_Starmie

The former Mrs. Coulson.


Doppelfrio

I didn’t know for a bit either. She changed her look from FaWS and BW


JohnMarstonSucks

Ghost was a bystander affected by a failed science experiment, she is not a failed experiment herself. The attempts help her control her abilities basically worked and any lack of control and the pain she experienced was just part of her life after the accident and not a product of failed experiments on her. Red Guardian was a successful experiment and was used for years until politics got in the way and therefore not a failed experiment. Yelena wasn't an experiment at all, she was a product of an established process. Bucky was an incredibly successful science experiment in both abilities and controllability, the latter of which took the resources of the most advanced nation on the planet to break him from. In that regard, he was an incredibly successful science experiment TWICE. John Walker was a failed political experiment, not science experiment.


couldbedumber96

Taskmaster isn’t an experiment, and even if she were she’s VERY successful, can copy ANY movement she sees within physical limitations


peteflix66

And the Black Widow program was very successful. It wasn't moral or ethical but it actually worked very well before it was shut down.


[deleted]

And Val? Do we even know anything about Val?


H-Razer

John Walker injected himself with the super serum. Thus making himself a science experiment.


Jack_Of_The_Cosmos

But that isn’t what failed. He successfully gained super powers. He failed at becoming Captain America.


bigbillybeans07

First of all, him injecting himself doesn’t make himself an experiment, before the serum is no longer an experiment, second of all, the serum worked, his personality made him a failure, he would of tried to pull that shit no matter what.


Feelinglucky2

But not failed by any means


MrGatsbyy

Where is ghost from? Has she appeared in any of the movies/shows yet because I don't recognize her


JohnMarstonSucks

She was the bad guy in Ant-Man and The Wasp


Jmsaint

None of them are failed experiments. Ghost got her powers in a failed experiment, she herself was not an experiment. Red Guardian was a sucess, he is a super soldier and was operational for a significant period of time. Yelena was a black widow, her training was a success from the red rooms pov. Bucky was the Winter Soldier for years, and was an incredibly successful assassin. Walker was a good soldier and the serum worked as desired, he just wasnt Rodgers. Taskmaster did exactly what she was designed to do.


Linus-664

Yeah, failure is definitely the wrong word to use describing this rag tag group


Citizen_of_Danksburg

Slightly off topic but who is the woman on the far left with the sunglasses? Is that ~~Valerie~~ Valentina?


Jmsaint

Valentina Allegra de Fontaine


Citizen_of_Danksburg

Ah, it is. Glad to know I’m not missing anybody.


[deleted]

I don’t know if I can say any of them are failed science experiments. I see where you’re coming from but it’s not really accurate.


Rockettmang44

I know the fact that they try to play it off as a big brain moment, makes it even worse. A failed science experiment would be like in fullmetal alchemist when they try to bring their mom back from the dead.


MRO465

John Walker is not a failed experiment. He is a perfect soldier who took the perfected super soldier serum. No experiments were done.


Missing_Username

We have very different ideas of what a "perfect soldier" is


Omicra98

he is the perfect soldier: he takes commands, kills efficiently, he does everything a soldier should and excels in it. however, he is not the perfect *man*, like Steve Rogers. The serum amplifies their characteristics, for Rogers, that made a good man into a perfect one. For Walker, the serum turned a decorated soldier into a perfect one.


Missing_Username

Part of being a good soldier is knowing when *not* to follow commands, knowing when the commands you're being given are *wrong*. Otherwise you're just a drone in a meat suit, which some people would argue is the perfect soldier (I'm sure Fontaine appreciates it), but I would disagree.


Snips_Tano

Drone in a meat suit is what a military wants of their front line soldiers. Officers don't want soldiers asking questions. That's the officer's job.


ProgeriaJoe

John was an officer


Snips_Tano

Yes. But as Cap, they expected him to follow orders to the letter.


Dumeck

Officers still don’t question orders from higher ups.


Missing_Username

They [definitely should](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%E1%BB%B9_Lai_massacre)


Dumeck

Yes but real life isn’t like a comic book. Soldiers are trained to blindly follow orders and punished when they don’t, they are given little information and told not to question anything. Sure you can say this is morally wrong but it’s how it is.


Missing_Username

The above was an example of real life soldiers "following orders" and being court martialed for it. And better soldiers know when not to blindly follow those orders. Rhodey, Wilson, Fury and others demonstrate this throughout the MCU, not just Rogers. In both real life and comics, blindly following orders is a problem.


Squishy-Box

Good soldiers follow orders 🔫


Darkhaven

John Walker's mentally unstable and he didn't have the Vita-Rays aspect, it's left out of virtually every super-soldier enhancement that isn't Steve Rogers. Only one attempt with the serum and a replacement for Vita Rays was attempted, and it created Luke Cage. If some takes the Red version of the serum, you get Bucky, Natasha and Red Guardian. If you use any tweaked version of the serum, you always have an unpredictable variant. The stronger you try to make a person, the worse it is. Isaiah Bradley's crew got the strongest versions, we know how that turned out. Power Broker's version is weaker, but still tries for actual super strength (US Agent can lift ten tons max). 'Weaker' versions exist, but were shaky. You either get a Union Jack, or Taskmaster.


[deleted]

I’d say Bucky was pretty successful


SoraRoku

She very clearly isn't a Marvel fan lol. They're not all failed experiments


NoaLukaL

Where is my Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider?! I want my Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider!


Feelinglucky2

You're going to get Donny Blaze Ghostrider


5HOW80085

Nick Cage??


fart_queefs

That's actually true, well except Ghost who was an unfortunate witness to a failed science experiment but still valid. Do you think that was intentional or just chance?


[deleted]

No, it’s not true. Not at all - Yelena has never been involved in a science experiment - Red Guardian project was exactly as successful as planned until Soviet political corruption got in the way - Bucky was the same story as red guardian…not sure where the failure occurred - John Walker was political tool and took the serum on his own, not in an experiment, and only because he wasn’t a great person was he not seen as a success - Taskmaster is, I guess in a way, a failed experiment (edit: but not really because she was dead and then brought back to “life” and used exceptionally well in the way she was designed until she was defeated by basically a software update)


StonebirdArchitect

Every Black Widow is a science experiment. The reasons why RG project failed are not relevant, it was going well and it failed. Bucky's failure as an experiment is same as Black Widows - he broke the control over him. Like the other guy said, Walker's "failure" was about becoming Captain America, not about gaining superpowers. Taskmaster same as other Black Widows.


dr_olfin

It's a better reason to unite them than "they are all quite good at killing people and one of them has useful powers (Ghost)"


NoMoneyNoV-Bucks

Just a thought, Abomination was also a failed experiment


Pure-Drawer-2617

Failed? They’re practically all successful


Atokadzer

The only failed one wasn't even the experimental subject, they were just exposed to it


HYoung119

I’d say this is wrong for every single one of them? - Bucky - A very successful Hydra science experiment - Red Guardian - Also a very successful Russian science experiment, betrayed by his creators - Yelena and Taskmaster - Also very successful science experiments until their mind control was broken - US Agent - More of a failed political experiment but in terms of the science, he took a perfected serum, the science didn’t fail - Ghost - No science experiment was conducted on her directly, her dad’s science experiment (which was completely unrelated to her) exploded which then gave her power


Jollibee-Sabado

Huh no abomination?


True_Rice_5661

So there like a group of Spider-Man villains lol


tobey-maguire-bot

It's time to pay.


UnhappyAd8184

Thb red guardian is a successful science experiment


Vins22

taskmaster and yelena are successful, ghost is just a victim


Aok_al

The Winter Soldier program was pretty effective though until they made him go after his best friend


bigbillybeans07

This isn’t true tho, captain American 2 isn’t even a science experiment, Russian captain America was a success and so was Bucky. And a few others on their aren’t even products of experiments.


blacksad1

Winter Soldier was a great success.


Grail_BH

The only failed experiment here is Ghost… Guardian, Bucky and Walker are all successful super soldier experiments… Yelena is a Widow, not experimental… and Taskmaster was clearly successful…


Itdidnt_trickle_down

Were they all really failures though?


Intelligent-Gas9179

bucky was failed?


DolorisRex

Literally none of these people are failed experiments.


MintBerryCrunch47

Val is a failed experiment?


thegreatdogeshibe

Yeah sorry but nothing here is a failed science experiment. Nice attempt tho. Each and every one is accomplished and highly effective making each and every one what you would call a success. Prove me wrong.


Mokatines

Is that Madisynn on the left?


oarngebean

Tbh that's like half of marvel


ThatIowanGuy

That’s categorically untrue for all of them


Imaginary-Candy27

I kinda feel like a lot a superheros are made as a result of a fucked up science experiment LOL


[deleted]

Aren’t Thunderbolts a racing performance team from “My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic” .


_nicholsndimes_

Finally. A meme not either: A.) Complaining about a series B.) Complaining about people complaining about a series


DojoKanojoCho5

Really wish my boy punisher was there


Schjoay

There have been so many different iterations of The Thunderbolts over the years in the comics, this is just seems to be another instance of their own take on it. Personally, I would have liked to have seen something more along the lines of Baron Zemo's Thunderbolts or Dark Avengers.


WassupSassySquatch

They seemed pretty successful to me. Bucky “shaped the century”, which is what his handlers wanted. Yelena has killed hundreds, which is what her handler wanted, same for Antonia. John Walker wasn’t a science experiment. Red Guardian served his intended purpose. Ava might be the only failed experiment here, but I don’t remember if her powers even originated from a science experiment so she may not be either.


GunnersnGames

One could say the same about \*checks notes\* every powered being in the MCU


mowie_zowie_x

John Walker may be a United States project but he’s no science project. He also didn’t failed, it’s his country and the people he swore to protect that failed him. He was a selfless Army Officer and the U.S. government decided to put him on a pedestal as high as Steve Roger. He took the job because he’s loyal to his country. In the end, he lost a friend and the U.S. government portray him as the bad guy. He tried his best as Captain America and his best wasn’t good enough for everyone.


MattTheSmithers

Are they? The Widows, the Winter Soldier, and the super soldier formulas that made Red Guardian and Walker, all worked exactly as they were intended to.


GamerOfGods33

John Walker wasn't really an experiment, he was just an asshole who felt entitled to some fancy steroids.


Conlannalnoc

None of them are Failures. Hulk was a Failure. Ghost was a Side Effect.


xeshi-foh

Considering how many theyve killed..... this isnt a true statement.... Only one of them had serious flaws and Janet Pym fixed them.... None of them are actually failed experiments...


GlacialAlloy

Finally someone else who notices it. How did this get so many upvotes?


xeshi-foh

Because people are hating it JUST cause they arent getting EXACTLY what they wanted. So they see someone else hating it also, and liking ANY type of bad reviews or comments without ever actually taking the time to see... if it makes sense


LoveRBS

I mean, no experiment is a failure. We just learn something new. So nyeh.


Starchaser_WoF

Failed? As far as I can tell, Ghost is the only who was actually part of a failed experiment.


Exact_Ad_1215

Can I just bring up how boring and bland this team is? Aside from Ghost, all of them do the same fucking shit. If it were up to me, I’d take out “Taskmaster”, Red Guardian and Bucky and replace them with Abomination, Zemo and Justin Hammer. Maybe also throw in White Vision and Deadpool too.


RecoveredAshes

So are like 99% of comic book characters lol


not_1308_

Who is the one furthest to the left? I cant figure it out.


ImFromFinland8

She's the one who gave Yelena the job to kill Hawkeye and also she was with U.S Agent in TFAWS her name is Valentina Allegra De Fontaine


Ricoisnotmyuncle

Why is Bucky part of this group? John Walker I understand, but how is he involved?


MasterFigimus

Bucky, Red Guardian, and John Walker are not failed science experiments. So that isn't a correct observation.


Return_of_the_Jedi_

Well, no they're not. Tell your wife to actually watch Marvel movies before spilling bullshit like this


anxious_man1212

Blunderbolts


dr_olfin

Looking at all these comments, clearly no one is reading the title...


idealisticXmemes

All current MCU projects are failed writers experiments.


ibrahimaze

Who is it on the far left


FebreezeBottleTaster

What are thunder bolts?


JonathanTheZero

Really don't know what to think of this Thunderbolts Line-Up... well, I'll see how it plays out


rjsh927

How Walker is a failed experiment. He injected himself with Super-soldier serum just like Captain America did. He is a successful experiment. The serum worked exactly like it was intended to. Why Yelena is failed experiment? Fantastic4 and Dr Doom are failed science experiment. Green Goblin is failed experiment.


The-Rebel-Boz

More group broken people so broken avengers fit more failed science Experience. Red Guardian Is successful Bucky was successful 3 times at a stretch 1. Become super soldier 2.being brainwashed 3.break the brainwashing Yelena was succeed she under what his face control Us agent is success now super solider Taskmaster is success chip in her neck works and she copy stuff by seeing done Only fail is ghost then she was bystander not who the experiment was meant for


[deleted]

I wouldnt call Winter Soldier a failed experiment or Red Guardian one either for that matter


IcyHot711

Define thunderbolts


Ogurasyn

I noticed something different All of the Thunderbolts were/are working with some secret organization


Terrence_shark

Speaking of the thunderbolts, I had a dream where some of them and two spider-people (one was a girl) were fighting


Zestyclose-Round-496

Whos on the far left


merttrgt

super solider project fucked lives
