So much to look into but let's start somewhere ,- then you can go anywhere you want.

Is Captain America a virgin? ‘She-Hulk’ solves this Marvel mystery.
These are the types of questions Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) obsesses over while asking the one person who has the answer to such classified American intelligence: her cousin Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), the Incredible Hulk, who fought alongside Captain America as a member of the Avengers.
Moments before the beginning of her superhero/origin story during a car crash with her cousin that causes an unplanned Hulk blood transfusion, Walters uses her lawyer skills to build a case beyond a reasonable doubt that Captain America was both saving the world and saving himself for a special someone who never arrived.
The evidence is out there to support the MCU’s least sexy rumor ever. Before a super serum gave him a superhero stature and the muscles to carry the world on his shoulders, Steve Rogers was a scrawny kid from Brooklyn who was far from a Casanova. By the time he transformed into Captain America, he fell in love with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), which led to a kiss before he had to save the world during World War II, crashing a plane into a mountain in the process, and then became a super-popsicle. After being unfrozen years later, Captain America dealt with Loki, Ultron, a civil war, Thanos and instant old age after time travel. That doesn’t leave much time for love.
In “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” when the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Captain America must kiss to hide from agents hunting them down, Black Widow later asks if she was the first woman he’s kissed since 1945. The Captain responds, “That bad, huh?”
Walters, using lawyer-enhanced crocodile tears and drowning her sorrows in a drink with Banner/Hulk, mourns what she is convinced is a super lack of sexual activity from Captain America.
That’s when Banner lets her in on a little secret: Captain America lost his virginity in 1943, with a woman he met on a U.S.O. tour.
Walters immediately shuts off the fake faucets in her eyes, revealing she’s not really drunk like her cousin thought, and screams for joy.
Is this the sexual revolution of the MCU? It’s not that kind of party yet, but the moment is a huge step forward for a universe that is way more super than sensual.
By the time “She-Hulk” arrives at its first post-credits scene after Episode 1, we finally get an answer.
