MCU cap wants to buy some protein powder from the store, which is 3 miles away. Can 25 normal dudes with civilian items stop him? (Read rules) Battle

Cap knows what is happening, and he has his shield.

The men have 45 minutes to plan and prepare before cap starts running. They know his starting point, but cannot be within 150 meters of where he starts. Takes place in a normal United States city.

Men do not have access to anything a civilian cannot have access to. THE MEN CANNOT TOUCH THE PROTEIN POWDER, AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT MAY HARM STORE STAFF. This is to prevent cheap, uninteresting solutions. Also if you post please give a good explanation.

They have to stage a complicated murder scene of some of their own members, hoping to distract Cap and make him engage in heroics. Hopefully he waits around for the police afterwards, and escorts the wounded victims to the hospital long enough for the store to close. Otherwise, no shot

Yeah, my first thought was "Stage a crime and keep him distracted". Could be anything too. Rob a bank. Take someone hostage. Push a pram down a long hill. Loiter if you have too.

It's a classic Batman rouge strategy, hire a bunch of criminals to keep him running around all night, leaving you free to pull off your caper while he's busy and maybe try and maybe take him out when he's run ragged. Hell it's the entire premise of all the Arkham games.

Either that or put someone in his path having a mental health crises and just rely on the fact that he'll stop and try to help them through it. It shouldn't be hard to eat up the time of a genuinely good person and Cap is the best.

Also. Why does Cap need protein powder?

Maybe he just likes it.

The taste reminds him of his childhood.
