Steve Rogers

## History

### Early Life (1919-1939)

Born in *July 4th, 1920* to poor Irish immigrant parents, Steve was a sickly fragile kid most of his life, something that would not help him later on when he wished to join the US. Army during the *Second World War.*

### World War 2 (1939-1945)

Rejected continuously due to being 4 foot, Steve became part of the army after being personally selected by Dr. Abraham Erskine as one of the test subjects for a special project under the name of Project: Rebirth, an experiment being conducted by the *Strategic Scientific Reserve* which would attempt to create the perfect soldier for the US. Army to have in it's lines against the *Third Reich*'s forces, which ultimately allowed for his enlistment on the army.

Put under a regiment training in Camp Leich under the supervision of Erskine himself*, Agent Carter* of the SSR and Col. Chester Phillips, Rogers was chosen as the prime candidate for the experiment.  Being to a facility in the middle of New York, Steve was injected by a special substance Dr. Erskine has created called-so the "*Super Soldier Serum*".

Steve  emerged from the vita-ray chamber with his body having changed from frail and weak to the peak of human condition, a perfect human body. However, Steve would be the first and last of this new breed of Super-Soldiers after a Nazi-spy attempted to steal the last left serum and killed Erskine in the progress, this ending on the serum being lost after it's vial being destroyed and the spy killing himself.

 Despite this, the U.S had still gained their super-soldier, as soon as possible, Steve was given an intense physical and tactical training and sent to the trenches as just another soldier. While on *Italy*, Steve left his platoon after hearing news that one of his friends, Sgt. James Buchanan Barnes had recently been taken to a *POW camp* near their own. Armed only with a belt and a gun, Steve raced to the camp, managing to free most of the captives that were still alive, including Bucky. Due to this act of bravery and having recovered almost 200+ men, the goverment decided that Steve was the man they needed to not only inspire their own troops, but their chance at actually winning the war.

Granted the rank of Captain and being given otorgued a troop of his own comprised of Bucky, *James Falsworth, Pvt. Jim Morita, Pvt. Gabe Jones, Cpt. Samuel Sawyer, Cpt. Howlett and Sgt. Dum Dum Dugan,* comprising the group known as the Howling Commandos.

    Named by the media as Captain America, Steve fought alongside the Commandos and the SSR as the Allies' elite combat unit against the Third Reich's forces and their most dangerous organization, H.Y.D.R.A. Near the end of the war, as the Commandos were raiding one of the last left Nazi bases, a bomb-loaded drone-plane, launched from it piloted by *Heinrich Zemo*set on dropping said bombs on every important city or landmark on the US.

    With the clock ticking, both Cap and Buck raced towards the plane in an attempt to stop it and Zemo, in the progress, Bucky managed to take Zemo out of the plane by sacrificing himself and dropping both him and himself in the middle of the *Alpes.* With the plane nearing the Atlantic seaboard, Steve decided to crash it on the *Artic,* escaping the plane and landing in the middle of the sea, freezing.

    For 63 years, Steve was frozen in a block of ice in a state of suspended animation, with everyone believing that the beloved Captain had perished in the war. By 2008 however, Cap would return as he was found and thawed out by *Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers.*
