Technically speaking so is Cap.
No, caps peak human; by feats and by definition. Have you have seen a human do the things that cap can do in real life? I'll assure you; that you haven't. Just because his feats look Superhuman (by our real life standards) doesn't mean he is superhuman by comic standards.

Before anyone says "Cap's a peak human," remember that Steve was given a SUPER-soldier serum.
Damn, that ends the debate Cap has the "SUPER" soldier serum. I guess my "SUPER" nintendo has better graphics then my wii.

The serum optimised his body in every way that a human body can be. This is not something you can do just by working out a lot.
Agreed.

The best example I read was this; compare a sprinter with a distance runner. Both are 'peak human,' but are they identical? No. The sprinter is faster over short distances, while the distance runner has better stamina. This is because they're trained for different things.
No, no their not; nor the sprinter or the distance runner are peak human. The world record in the 100m dash today, will be deemed slow 500 years from now when the world record reads Sub 7-8 seconds. Cap is what humans will be when our physical evolution is complete.
We are still getting faster, stronger, smarter, therefore there isn't a single peak human in anything on the planet.

Cap can out-last the distance-runner and out-sprint the sprinter, because the SSS optimised his body to the peak of human potential in every aspect. He is not just a great athlete, he's not 'Batman with a shield.' He is not 'a peak human,' he is THE peak human, in every way possible.
Agreed, but see above as the why this is not a very good comparison.

Not to mention Cap's body doesn't build up lactic acid. Again this is something 'regular' peak humans can't do.
This is probably the only super human thing cap has. Look, Blade is superhuman by definition. Sure he doesn't have the feats to back it up, but then again, Juggernaut doesn't have the strength feats to match Thors or Hulks, yet he has shown to be on their level.
A character should not be hindered because of lack of feats, (unless their name and Champion). Cap has probably 1000's of more appearances then blade, thus, a shit load of more feats.
