Captain America is one of the most loved Marvel characters, portrayed famously by Chris Evans in the series of films. He made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the film Captain America: The First Avenger.
In both the comics and the film, Steve Rodgers receives the Super-Soldier Serum, which results in his transformation into the superhuman soldier. In the MCU films, Captain America pulls off some impressive feats and even puts up quite a fight against Thanos in Infinity War. There is thus a debate about the MCU version of the superhero being stronger than his comic counterpart.
Although recent comic versions of the Captain have been nerfed, the original Earth 616 Captain America is a worthy opponent to his MCU counterpart. The MCU counterpart, however, falls slightly short of his comic counterpart as the Earth 616-Captain can easily dodge bullets, is immune to fatigue, and can adapt to any fighting condition within seconds.

The MCU version has, on occasion, shown signs of fatigue and has had to rely on his willpower over his physicality at times. This is the only aspect where the Earth 616 version edges past the MCU version. Both versions are equally skilled in combat although the comic version is armed with a stronger shield.
Which is the strongest version of Captain America in the comics?
The strongest version of the superhero in the Marvel comics is an alternative version of the Captain. This version of the hero appeared in the Infinity Warps universe in the comics.
This comic version is called Soldier Supreme and is a mashup of Doctor Strange and the Captain. In the comics, Stephen Rodgers is enhanced using a magical injection that results in him gaining the enhanced strength of the Captain and the mystical powers of Doctor Strange. He possessed the best of both worlds since he could employ his strength and military experience in close quarters and his magic in long-range warfare.
What is Captain America's weakness?
Captain America is one of the strongest Avengers as seen in the films and in the comic books. It is very difficult to defeat the hero, who is blessed with advanced combat skills along with superhuman strength and speed.
However, even the Captain has a few weaknesses, a major one being his inability to launch ranged attacks (although he has an impeccable aim with a gun). He is also susceptible to mystical attacks from the likes of otherworldly beings such as Asgardians or Titans. He has often matched them in combat, but would fall short of countering magical abilities.
However, it is his indelible optimism that may be his greatest weakness. Unlike many ruthless heroes in the MCU, the Captain is an idealistic character and puts his values and morals above everything else. This leaves him susceptible to betrayal.
Who can destroy Captain America?
The most worthy adversary to the Captain in the MCU films is Thanos himself. He battled the Captain and ultimately overpowered him in Infinity War. However, it was the Captain who had the last laugh in Endgame.
In the comics, the Captain has been overpowered on a few occasions. Characters like the Wolverine, Vision, and Gamora have defeated the superhero.
Even in the MCU, his allies like Thor, The Hulk, Vision, Captain Marvel, the Black Panther, and Spider-Man are superior to him in terms of their combat abilities.
Be it the comic version or the MCU version, the mighty Captain is surely one of the strongest Avengers to exist.
