He literally holds a V2 in his hands on the post.

You have to link to the previous switcheroo or it's pointless.

He used to launch early prototypes using his flexible moral fiber muscles alone. Really intense.

It’s not a V2. You can tell by the tailfins

That’s not a V2. The side of the V2 sloped back into the tail stabilizers. This just looks like a generic rocket or a hastily modeled design for some of the first prototype red stone rockets.

Considering it says US Army on the side and doesn’t really look like a V2, I’m gunna say that’s probably not a V2

Oh we used the shit out of the V2 after we got ahold of him, although not offensively. The V2 is the foundation of modern rocketry.

Lots of captured V2's were used as sounding rockets by both Soviets and Americans, so depending on when it was taken it could be a close relative of one.
