== Background ==
In 1942, Steve Rogers was deemed physically unfit to enlist in the U.S. Army and fight the Nazis in World War II. He volunteered instead for Operation: Rebirth, a secret military operation, he was physically transformed into a super-soldier dubbed Captain America. At first the army only used him as a propaganda figure, but while in Europe he saved hundreds of prisoners of war, which also included his friend Bucky Barnes. Steve and Bucky then created a team to fight HYDRA, a Nazi organization created by Johann Schmidt. During an attempt to stop Arnim Zola, while successful, resulted in the death of Bucky. While he tried to prevent Schmidt from bombing America, Captain America crashed Schmidt's aircraft into a glacier, after Schmidt was transported to another dimension by the Tesseract. Captain America was frozen in the Arctic for almost 70 years but survived due to the super soldier serum and was discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists. He awoke in a mockup of a 1940s hospital ward in S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ, but realized it was fake and broke out, and ended up in the streets of present-day New York, where he met S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury.
Later, Fury appraoched Steve to help retreive the Tesseract stolen by Loki. He informed Fury that they should have left it at the bottom of the ocean. Steve was brought aboard the Helicarrier and ordered to apprehend Loki in Stuttgart, stopping him from killing a civilian and saved by Iron Man. Rogers later stopped the fight between Iron Man and Thor. Aboard the Helicarrier, he argued with Tony Stark about not angering Bruce Banner and about Stark's personality and achievements. He broke into the weapons vault and figured out S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted the Tesseract to make weapons. During the attack on the Helicarrier, he helped Stark fix the destroyed rotor, but not before Stark's suit was wrecked. After, he mourned Agent Coulson's death and helped Stark realize what Loki wanted.
Captain America then became co-leader, along side Iron Man, of the Avengers, which also consisted of The Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, and Hawkeye. He took out many of the Chitauri and prevented the bombing of a building. After the battle, he witnessed Thor and Loki return to Asgard.
Two years later, Steve Rogers is still adapting to contemporary life . After Fury is gunned down by an assassin known only as the Winter Soldier, he learned that Hydra had survived the Red Skull's disappearance by Zola implanting it to grow inside S.H.I.E.L.D. for years. They planned to use Operation Insight, three Helicarriers remotely controlled to preemptively eliminate threats, to kill anyone who was a threat to Hydra's interests. Rogers succeeded in stopping their plan with the help of Black Widow, Sam Wilson, Maria Hill, and Fury (who had faked his death) though in resulted in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s destruction. Afterward, he decided to track, with Sam's help, down the Soldier after learning that he was his old WWII comrade Bucky that had survived his death and was brainwashed to become an assassin, while Fury set out to destroy Hydra's remaining cells under the cover of his death.
=== LEGO Marvel Super Heroes ===
He is the leader of the Avengers that is called upon to stop Loki, Dr. Doom, and the team they assembled for collecting the cosmic bricks and building Dr. Doom's Doomray of Doom.
He teamed up with Mr. Fantastic to stop Doc Ock, who had taken over the Baxter Building to steal the cosmic brick sent to the Four following the fight with Sandman and Abomination . When the fight spilled onto streets, joined the fight and helped defeat him, but the brick was stolen by the Green Goblin and taken to Oscorp.
Thor brought him, Human Torch, and Wolverine to help defeat Loki, who had taken over Asgard with the help of the Frost Giants.
He ultimately had to stop Galactus with everyone else.
