==Biography==
===Zombie Apocalypse===
====Overwhelmed by the Undead====
In 2018, the Quantum Virus spread across the United States of America, turning those infected into zombies. Steve Rogers, along with Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff, reassembled with Tony Stark; putting their differences aside to respond to the national health emergency. They were joined by T'Challa and flew via Quinjet to San Francisco to try and contain the virus. Upon arriving on the Golden Gate Bridge, they were immediately met by a horde of zombies. 
As Rogers prepared to lead the charge, he was bitten by a shrunken zombiefied Hank Pym. Instantly, Rogers fell onto the road and began to transform into a zombie, while Stark, Barton, and Romanoff became infected also.What If...?: 1.05: What If... Zombies?!
====Showdown with Winter Soldier====
Later, a zombiefied Rogers sneaked on board the train in the Grand Central Terminal that was carrying the surviving members of the Avengers' allies. Rogers ambushed Sharon Carter in the back train car and attacked her, causing her to become infected. Rogers then was confronted by Bucky Barnes who came to Carter's defense, seconds too late. 
However, Rogers was unable to recognize his best friend and attacked him with his shield, but Barnes got the upper hand. When Rogers threw the shield at Barnes, Barnes threw the shield back directly at Rogers' midsection, slicing him in half, killing him. Rogers' lifeless body then fell backwards onto the track.
===Battle for the Multiverse===
====Attacking Ultron====
Sometime later, Strange Supreme, a member of the Guardians of the Multiverse, summoned him alongside other zombies to an desolate location to distract Ultron, dropping Rogers and his fellow zombies over the genocidal A.I. However, Ultron blasted Rogers and the other zombies away and ultimately killed all of them when he used his full power to destroy the planet they were on.What If...?: 1.09: What If...
