So,are the Atlanteans a key element on the Super Soldier Serum or what?
That could explain somehow the almost superhuman abilities on Captain America and it could also be said that the Vita-Rays treatment was a way for the human body not becoming a weird amalgam while retaining some of the properties of Atlanteans
It could be a very hard process that only Professor Reinstein (or Erskine as seen in these scans) was capable of doing
