History
Steven Rogers was repeatedly turned down by the US military when World War II broke out because he was too small and weak, so he signed up for Operation: Rebirth, which made him reach the pinnacle of human perfection. He is as strong, fast, and agile as it was possible for any human being but Nazis blew it up, leaving him the only recipient of the project. Steve, now called Captain America, helped the United States battle the Axis during the war with his sidekick Bucky, and they eventually won. Sadly, Cap was frozen in the Arctic Ocean and was left in suspended animation for many decades.
Years later, he was thawed out and discovered that his old sidekick was brainwashed by Soviets into the Winter Soldier, and the two fought many times, during one such time, Cap had to keep a missile Winter Soldier was going to shoot from launching by stopping their fight to press the right combination of buttons, and he eventually won.
When Dr. Doom formed the Masters of Evil to steal the powers of Odin and rule the universe, Captain America joined Fury's Ultimate Alliance, and was one of the first four metahumans to come to the defense of the U.S.S. Alpha Helicarrier, where he found the Winter Soldier planning to shoot the Helicarrier's own guns into the engine along with Radioactive Man, both of whom are stopped by Cap and the team. Cap stayed with the team throughout the mission and finally stopped Dr. Doom who is left to the mercy of the gods.[1]
Later, Captain America joins Nick Fury on an unsanctioned attack as part of the main strike team on the country of Latveria and against the new prime minister, Lucia Von Bardas, who is presumed killed when they blow up Castle Doom. Lucia came back as a cyborg to destroy New York, but she was stopped.
When the Super Human Civil War broke out, Captain America formed the Anti-Registration Resistance movement, reformatting old Hydra bases for their use. He also broke Cable, Spider-Woman, and Hercules out of a Prison Convoy ran by S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Iron Man, many of whom's forces defected to Cap's side to form the White Star guerrilla army. Eventually, the Registration Act was repealed and the Nanites used by the Pro-Reg forces began to take over the world, calling themselves the Fold, however, they were stopped, and Captain America and Iron Man became friends again, recreating the Ultimate Alliance.[2]Attributes
