Captain America (Steve Rogers) was created by Comic book writer Joe Simon and Comic book artist Jack Kirby. Captain America is the greatest symbol of liberty and justice the world has ever known.
Steve Rogers was born on July, 4th 1917 in Manhattan, New York. By the 1940's, Rogers was a short, scrawny art student. When America was drawn into World War II, Rogers tried to enlist but was quickly rejected because of his poor physical state.
A U.S. Army officer soon found Rogers and asked him to participate as a test subject in a top-secret project known as Operation: Rebirth, a secret Army operation that intended to develop a superhuman soldier.
Eager for a chance to serve for his country during a time of war, Rogers accepted. After a series of rigorous and demanding trials, Rogers is selected to be the first human test subject by the lead scientist on the project, Dr. Abraham Erskine. Rogers received a series injections, doses of the Super Soldier serum, and is exposed to "Vita-Rays". As a result of the experiment, Rogers' scrawny body transformed completely; Rogers experienced rapid muscle growth and heightened senses which reached the peak of human perfection. Immediately following the success of the project, a Nazi spy reveals himself and shoots Erskine, immediately killing him. Unbeknownst to the spy, Erskine had committed crucial parts of the formula to memory and the formula has yet to be recreated. Rogers kills the spy by tossing him into the machinery that made him. Rogers was now ready to take the mantle as the champion and defender of the United States: Captain America.
The U.S. government is quick to make use of Rogers as a counter-intelligence agent propaganda symbol, serving on secret missions for the United States during the war and also acting as a symbol of American strength. Now known formally as Captain America, Rogers is given a special costume that resembles the American flag (based off his own design), as well as his iconic indestructible shield.
During the final days of WWII, Rogers became a casualty of the war as a bomb destroyed his plan over the North Atlantic, where the freezing waters freeze Rogers' body in a complete stasis. Rogers would remain there for decades until his body was found and recovered decades later.
The Avengers

Years later, a superhero team known as the Avengers find Steve Rogers' frozen body in the ocean with his costume and shield. Rogers managed to survive being frozen solid due to the Super Soldier serum. The Avengers, aware of Rogers' fighting abilities and combat expertise, extend an invitation to Rogers. Rogers quickly proves to be a capable leader, with the rest of the Avengers respecting his combat prowess and his tactical awareness. Leading the rest of the Avengers, Rogers would often work with Nick Fury, an old war buddy. Throughout his the rest of his career, Rogers and the rest of the Avengers would work with Fury, undertaking a variety of missions under the banner of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Civil War
After an accident that resulted in the deaths of several superheroes and thousands of civilians, the American public cried for the accountability for superheroes. In response to the public outcry, the United States government issued the Superhero Registration Act, a bill that would require all beings with super powers to register with the government, which includes revealing their true identity. Ironically Rogers, normally the government's most trusted soldier, was the bill's greatest opposition; he believed that the bill was an affront to the liberty and rights of superheroes. Rogers rallies up other anti-registration superheroes, forming the Anti-Registration faction, opposing pro-registration heroes including his former friend, Tony Stark ( Iron Man). Considered a fugitive, Rogers was forced underground, being chased by the country that he fought so hard to protect.
Civil War - Final Battle
During the climatic battle of the Civil War, Rogers gains the upper hand over Stark after a long and grueling fight. Before delivering the final blow, Rogers is restrained by the civilians of the war-torn city. It was not until then that he realized that the real victims of this war were the innocent citizens that he swore to protect. Rogers immediately surrendered to the Pro-Registration forces.
Death of Captain America
After his surrender, Rogers is charged on multiple charges. As he arrives at the steps of the federal courthouse, a sniper gets a direct hit on Rogers' back and in the ensuing chaos, he ends up being

The entire community gets shaken down by the kill. Captain America is laid to rest in the public at Arlington National Cemetery, where a monument is built in honor of the fallen hero. At the end of the series, it is revealed that the body at Arlington is a fake; Tony Stark and Hank Pym took the actual body of Steve Rogers to the ocean where he was first found years back.
