**Steve Rogers** is a Captain in the United States Army during World War II.  A top secret project initiated by the US Government transformed the frail Rogers into a super soldier. He fights the Nazi's and the evil organization HYDRA, as the superhero **Captain America**.

## History

### World War II

#### Project Rebirth

In 1942, Steve Rogers tried to enlist in the army, but despite making multiple attempts, he was rejected due to various health and physical conditions. One day, his best friend, Bucky Barnes rescues him from a bully. Barnes is now a Sergeant in the army where he was assigned to the 107th Infantry.

While celebrating, Steve tried to enlist again. This time, Dr. Abraham Erskine enlisted and assigned him at the Strategic Scientific Reserve under Project Rebirth. Rogers' training was supervised by Peggy Carter and was the weakest of his platoon but Dr. Erskine saw something special and chose him to become Project Rebirth's test subject.

Rogers subjected to the super-soldier formula and transformed into a more muscular and taller man. But right after the procedure, Dr. Erskine would get assassinated by a HYDRA spy, Heinz Kruger. Steve would capture the spy but the latter commits suicide after uttering the words "Hail Hydra".

With the death of Dr. Erskine and the serum lost, Rogers was placed on inactive duty by General Chester Phillips, instead was assigned to the USO and perform on stage as the iconic Captain America in order to boost morale to troops all over the world.

#### Captain America

However, rather than putting Abraham Erskine's work to its intended use and being sent to serve overseas as he expected, Brandt had ordered Rogers to go and tour the nation in a colorful costume as Captain America. Rogers agreed, tasked to promote war bonds for the Treasury Department and encourage American participation in the war effort.

The continued shows allowed Rogers to become a living icon for the American people during the war, even starring in his own comic book series and several movie serials in which he would heroically battle against and defeat the Nazis while still wearing Captain America's Uniform. These comic books were sent overseas to France where they were enjoyed by both the United States Army soldiers as well as children back home.

Rogers continued to travel the country from state to state as his own popularity continued to grow with the wives and children whose husbands and fathers were fighting overseas against Hitler's forces. At the end of the shows, Captain America would demonstrate his strength from the Super Soldier Serum by lifting a motorcycle and three of the dancers above his head while the music finished, much to the amazement of his ever growing audiences.
