   Carry on, Cap.

   The only thing that strikes a wrong note to me is him saying “man” like that.

   That first panel is why Superheroes will never be shown doing proper CPR technique.

   with his Super Solider Serum enhanced strength, he’s got to be careful with those compressions, yes?

   D-Man’s super strong himself. I doubt Cap has much to worry about.

   While it may not be an issue in this case, it’s not something that’s really addressed. Maybe it’s implicit that, with super strength/speed, they have super control over their abilities.

   Also, if I recall my CPR correctly, you’re mostly using your body weight, rather than arm strength, to compress (arms should be straight).

   So, I’d be more concerned about the Blob giving CPR than Cap.
