Before anyone gets defensive, this is only a discussion.<br/><br/>The Vita-Ray machine was created by Howard Stark.  I think it is a assumption to think "a lot of people were in on it".  Considering the fact that it was a Top Secret facility the Vita-Ray machine was in and it was a Top Secret Project.  Also, S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't exist at the time of WWII and it was the military's project in the first place.  General Ross is a general, and has upper level security access with that position.  Also, there are 2 factions trying to recreate it AIM and Hydra, not the "entire world".<br/><br/>As far as the museum exhibit, that's what I was asking about.  Unless Captain America 2 comes out and says Cap was created from a Super Soldier Serum (one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most highly guarded secrets) I don't believe that it would be well known.  There was a general lack of cynicism and skepticism in the general population at that time compared with today.  Which pretty much meant that people believed whatever they were told.  There's really no reason the U.S. Government would divulge that type of secret.<br/><br/>The Howling Commandos were a top notch special Ops team, and Cap just happened to be a part of that.  If you'll recall the first Captain America movie, he was more of a poster boy than an actual soldier.  I would assume that a lot of people thought of him as nothing more than a sideshow act and publicity stunt.  Even after Cap actually joins the combat, the only thing the general public would see is the news footage they were allowed to see.  There were also Comic Books written about him with a bunch of unbelievable mythos surrounding the character.<br/><br/>Unless the movies explicitly state that everyone knows that Cap came from the Super Soldier Serum, I don't believe any of the player characters would know that, yet.<br/><br/>I read the article, but I didn't see anything suggesting it was an exact replica from the movie.  Considering the exhibit is next to an exhibit that shows of Stark's Iron Man suit (something the character has gone to great lengths to protect) and "Treasures from Asgard", I don't believe that it is meant to be an accurate portrayal of what was in the movie and more a fan service to us, the moviegoers.<br/><br/>I'm not trying to put a damper on anyone's creativity, but the GMs are going to need to think about this and figure it out.
