Battle An unarmed Captain America (MCU) replaces Robb Stark at the Red Wedding - can he fight his way out?

Cap doesn't have his shield or suit, and he doesn't know that the betrayal is coming. The Freys are not aware of his upgraded abilities.

Can Cap fight his way out? Bonus points if he can keep Catelyn and Robb's wife safe. Double bonus points if he can kill Walder Frey and Roose Bolton.

Really depends on how shocked the rest of the wedding is from having a dude just start to destroy every trained warrior in there bare handed without breaking a sweat.

If he wanted to any one person in that room is dead, but it’d be harder to defend someone else from every other person.

Think about that elevator scene with Cap and those guys were prepared and ready. There is not a single person in or outside that castle that has any chance of cap is after them, much less preventing him from getting away

Those guys in the elevator didn’t have swords and crossbows. He would get stabbed and shot to pieces just like Robb did. Robb didn’t die because of a lack of fighting skill, he was in an impossible situation

Cap has tanked direct shots from alien laser beams and a full force punch to the face from Thanos. I don’t think swords or crossbows are doing much to him.

Even beyond tanking hits, they have to actually hit him. Cap was overwhelmed in an incredibly confined space in the elevator with magnetic handcuffs on. And he still deduced the betrayal was coming beforehand and won that fight. Cap with room to maneuver, free hands, and a room full of objects to improvise and take cover behind, is in a way better position. Swords and crossbows are not going to even the odds against someone with Cap’s superhuman reflexes and strength.

I think you're kinda over selling that. Cap wasn't hit full force by Thanos, if he was, someone who could fight evenly with hulks strength, that makes little sense, unless his durability is high enough that he could tank hits from an rage ready hulk, and I don't think he can.

Thanos simply gave cap a look of surprise, then hit him. Remember that thanks wasn't trying to kill more than needed, he just wanted to enact his plan.
