Battlestar Actually Understands Super Soldier Serum Better Than Zemo

The character with the best understanding of the super soldier serum in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier appears to be Battlestar (Clé Bennett), not Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl). In Marvel Comics, Lemar Hoskins aka Battlestar is a superhero who served as the partner to John Walker during the time that he was Captain America in the late 1980s.

The MCU’s Lemar Hoskins is filling the same role in the MCU version of the story, which is playing out in Marvel’s second Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. As Battlestar, the character has been supportive of his friend and ally, John Walker (Wyatt Russell), who has been working hard to live up to the high expectations that everyone has for him. Battlestar also fought alongside him in their mission to capture Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman) and the Flag-Smashers, a terrorist organization that obtained the super soldier serum from the Power Broker. Unfortunately, Hoskins met his end while fighting them.

Not long before his death, Battlestar had a talk with Walker that indicated that he had a good feel for what the super soldier serum really is and what it’s supposed to be. When Walker was pondering over whether or not he should inject himself with the vial he found, he asked Battlestar if he’d take the chance. Hoskins explained that he would, and told Walker that he wasn’t that concerned about it changing who he was. That’s because Hoskins feels that “power just makes a person more of themselves”. That’s actually an accurate description of how the serum works both in the show and in previous MCU movies, like Captain America: The First Avenger and The Incredible Hulk.

His idea of it is in contrast to the one held by Baron Zemo, who is supposedly an expert on it. Zemo has tried to impress upon the characters the notion that the serum corrupts people. He thinks that those who receive it are dangerous, and shouldn’t be allowed to live. He believes that anyone who wants the serum is on the path to becoming a “supremacist”. Zemo conceded that Steve wasn’t corrupted, but pointed out that there hasn’t been another Steve Rogers since then.

What Zemo gets wrong is that Steve isn’t necessarily an exception to the rule; the serum is not guaranteed to corrupt anyone who uses it. The character who gets that is Battlestar, who repeated the ideas originally expressed by its creator, Dr. Erskine. It was Dr. Erskine who said to Steve in The First Avenger that with it, “good becomes great; bad becomes worse”. This belief is reinforced by how the serum transformed Emil Blonsky into the evil Abomination, how it allowed Steve to be a hero, and what it did to Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) and the Flag-Smashers. That’s why it’s not that surprising that Walker – who demonstrated overly-aggressive behavior in episode 3 – was made excessively violent by his decision to take the serum. Hopefully though, since Walker was never a bad person per se, there’s still enough good within him to make him remember the words of Battlestar and see what it’s doing to him in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
