Captain America (Marvel Comics)

Private Steve Rogers, better known as Captain America, was a war hero and costumed crime fighter from the Marvel Multiverse. 
Known during the war years for foiling saboteurs with his youthful sidekick Bucky, and for foiling the plots of the evil Red Skull, Captain America was eventually cryogenically preserved in a glacier before being thawed out two decades later in the mid-1960's. Once revived, he became a charter member of the Avengers, and resumed the never ending battle against villainy.
