After the succeeder of Captain America , the United States and Canadian governments pool their resource to create a strong superintendent - soldier , using the original super - soldier serum as the base . But , after World War II , there was less pressure level to create superhumans . Plus , with the rise of main superheroes and variation ( who were advanced for experiment , like Wolverine ) , there was no more incentive to make superhumans from scratch .
