Captain America: the Howling Commandos

**Steven Grant Rogers,** better known as **Captain America**, is the first Super Soldier and was a crucial component in the allied war effort during World War II and the former leader of The Avengers. Gaining super powers as a result of Operation Rebirth, Rogers went on to participate in many battles for the fate of humanity including the Battle of New York, the HYDRA Uprising, and the Battle of Sokovia.

In 1986, in response to the Superhuman Registration Act, Rogers went underground and became the figurehead of a rebellion that fought against the Pro-Registration forces led by Iron Man and S.H.I.E.LD. Rogers currently is operating in Europe, on the run.

## Origin

Rogers was born on the 4th of July, 1918, to Sarah and Joseph in Brooklyn, growing up alongside childhood friend Bucky Barnes. By the time he had attempted and failed multiple times to join the army in 1941, his father had passed away from many of the same health issues which prevented Rogers enlistment. Given a chance by German scientist Abraham Erskine to become the first Super Soldier, he enlisted on the U.S. Army's Operation Rebirth program and became Captain America. However Erskine was assassinated shortly after, making him seemingly one of a kind. Initially spending weeks as a propaganda piece, he eventually proved his mettle as a combat asset when he liberated an allied prison camp from Axis forces, freeing "Dum Dum" Dugan, James Howlett, Gabriel Jones, and James "Bucky" Barnes, the latter of which being his childhood best friend. These four men, alongside Lieutenant Nick Fury, would serve as Rogers crew as apart of the *Howling Commandos.*

## History

Some time before the events of The Howling Commandos, Rogers became romantically entangled with Peggy Carter, with the two being close until he was kissed by a woman in her office and was caught. This caused a strain on their relationship.

During this battle Rogers would for the first time throw his disc shaped shield and discovered its ability to rebound. Rogers would worry over the condition of Barnes after an event that took place in the woods, with Bucky dismissing his worries and insisting he was fine. After speaking with Barnes at the infirmary at the allied camp, Rogers went to reconcile with Peggy Carter but eavesdropped on her speaking ill of them, further driving a rift between the two.

Captain America and the Howling Commandos were reassigned to an operation in Wakanda, at the time being invaded by Nazi Germany. Captain America and the Howling Commandos stormed the beach and then attempted to make camp before they were ambushed and captured by the Black Panther.

### Civil War

In 1986, when the Superhuman Registration Act came into effect, Rogers and Stark both lobbied against it publicly until a series of accidents in Lagos, Manhattan, DC, and a rogue mission some years before. Stark decides to support the act, and "Thunderbolt" Ross twists his arm into leading the charge against Captain America's new rebellion. Rogers, along with Logan, Vision, the Scarlet Witch, Ronin, Cyclops, and Emma Frost, relocated to Bishop Manor, where Alex Power was staying with Kate Bishop. Rogers had Barton recruit John Landerson, Annie January and Scott Lang to the cause.

Rogers, Bishop, Vision and Maximoff later came to the aid of the The X-Men (Angel, Cyclops, Iceman), Liz Allan, Hana, Yan Zhu, and Spider-Man in their defense of Molly Hayes-Hernandez from a Sentinel sent by Alex Wilder. After dispatching it, Iron Man made an appearance in an apparent attempt to speak to Rogers, who along with Maximoff, was enraged under the suspicion that Stark had sent the Sentinel to lure them there. Rogers attacked Stark, which started a battle on the lawn as Mockingbird arrived to apprehend Bishop. Giant-Man, who was also present, opted not to participate in the battle. Maximoff attacked Stark but was knocked out by her sister Polaris, and Stark came to right as Storm made her long awaited return from Wakanda, prompting Stark and his forces to retreat. Rogers returned to Bishop Manor, where he spoke to Logan about his concerns over Bucky.
