## Profile

### Identity

Shielder's true identity is **Steven Rogers**, better known as **Captain America**, the first Avenger.

Steve Rogers began life as a fine arts student born to poor Irish immigrants, Sarah and Joseph Rogers. Steve tried to enlist in the army as World War II loomed on the horizon, but was repeatedly rejected due to his physical frailty and numerous health problems. His desire to serve his country despite his handicaps caught the attention of Dr. Abraham Erskine, who agreed to recruit him for Project: Rebirth to be the test subject for Erskine's Super Soldier Serum. The serum successfully transformed Steve into the pinnacle of human physical performance. Clad in patriotic colored armor and armed with an indestructible Vibranium shield, Steve was christened Captain America, and led the charge against the Axis forces before being frozen alive in the Arctic for 70 years after stopping a bomb-laden plane. After being reawakened in modern times, Captain America would continue fighting for truth, justice, and the American way.

### Personality

Righteous, kind, honorable and brave, Captain America is highly regarded as the definition of a true hero. Even before gaining the Super Serum, Steve has always wanted to see the good in people and devoted himself to the protection of the weak and the defense of freedom and justice.
In spite of his virtues however, Cap has been plagued by his status as a man out of time. At times, he worries his ideals would be considered outdated in the modern world, or that he might not be able to fulfill the image the world at large has of him. Nevertheless, Steve continues to uphold the values of heroism and be the example to inspire others to be better.

## Abilities

With the enhancements of the Super Soldier Serum, Captain America possesses an extraordinary physique, able to pull down small helicopters mid-air, dodge point blank gunfire, sprint fast enough to keep up with speeding cars, and walk off falls and impacts that would severely injure normal humans. This enhanced physique was also what allowed Steve to survive being frozen in suspended animation for decades.

Steve is also an exceedingly skilled and experienced fighter, pilot and field commander. He is a strategic and tactical genius, successfully leading the Avengers in numerous battles against all kinds of threats. He has piloted many different vehicles throughout his career, from motorcycles to Quinjets. His mastery of hand-to-hand combat allows him to singlehandedly take down scores of armed foot soldiers and rival world-class martial artists like Wolverine, the Winter Soldier, Iron Fist, Taskmaster, and Black Panther. His skills with his shield in particular stand out; with his extensive skill and experience, combined with his Super Serum-enhanced mind and senses, he is able to throw it and hit multiple targets with it, and by calculating and predicting the shield's trajectory, almost always have it return to him like a boomerang.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **The First Avenger: America’s Unyielding Shield** - "*I can do this all day.*"

Steve Rogers' greatest and most iconic weapon and symbol as Captain America is his shield. Forged from an indestructible alloy of proto-adamantium and vibranium, this shield has taken blows from such powerhouses as Thor, the Hulk and the Silver Surfer undamaged. Because of this, nothing short of world-breaking power can damage it. In addition, Steve uses it offensively, throwing the shield like a discus, and thanks to its vibranium properties, it can absorb most kinetic energy to ricochet off most surfaces with minimal loss in momentum.
