Trailer During
World War Two, Steve Rogers attempted to volunteer
for the military. Due to his weak physical
condition, the military rejected him. However,
Steve Rogers was selected to take part in a secret
goverment experiment, which attempted to create a
'super-soldier.' The experiment
succeeded, turning Rogers into a muscular physical
specimen with the athletic ability of a trained
Olympic athlete. The government gave him a red,
white, and blue costume, a star spangled shield,
and code-named him "Captain America." Throughout
World War Two, Captain America fought against the
Axis, often side by side with ordinary soldiers. He
also served alongside other heroes from several
Allied nations, including the first Human Torch,
the Torch's sidekick, Toro, Namor the Sub-Mariner,
and others. Captain America's most important ally,
and his best friend, was Bucky (Bucky Barnes), a
young man who discovered Captain America's secret
identity and convinced the Captain to let him
become his sidekick. (It should be noted, that in
the comic book business, i.e. the "real world,"
many heroes acquired sidekicks, the most famous
probably being Robin, the Boy Wonder, who partnered
with Batman.) In modern Marvel
Universe continuity, (often called 'canon'), the
characters of Captain America and Bucky were
supposedly killed near the end of World War Two
while stopping a scheme by the first Baron Zemo to
launch a missile at the U.S. According to canon,
Captain America was thrown clear of the high-flying
missile as it exploded, landing in the frozen
waters of the north Atlantic. Due to the
super-soldier formula in his blood, Captain America
survived in frozen animation until discovered by
the recently formed superhero group,
the
Avengers.
(Avengers vol. 1, #4). The world had thought both
Captain America and Bucky had died during that last
war mission, and news of Captain America's survival
and resurrection were greeted with wonder and
acclamation. America still remembered him as one of
her greatest heroes. Captain America soon
joined the Avengers, and quickly became the team's
leader. The respect afforded him by other heroes
cannot be underestimated. In team-ups (episodes
when normally un-allied heroes and/or teams gather
together to fight villains), Captain America is
always the automatic tactical leader. In March of 2007,
Captain America was assassinated on the steps of a
Federal Courthouse in New York City. See
