Steve Rogers (Mega-Earth)

## History

Steven Rogers was born on July 4, 1918, in New York, New York. A frail boy, Steve was pure at heart. He always stuck up for the little guy, even if it meant getting his tail kicked. He had a never-ending urge to continue. But even though both of his parents died in service, the Army wouldn't let him enlist during WWII. They claimed he was too frail. A depressed Steve Rogers confided in his childhood friend, James Buchanan Barnes (Bucky). Steve attempted to bulk up by doing intense exercise regimens, but, due to his frail composure, he became ill because of the intense workouts. It grew so serious that he was admitted to the hospital. While he was in bed, a kind scientist approached him and offered him a chance to prove himself. The scientist took him to a secret lab, where they were running a secret operation. Steve was chosen to take the newly-developed Super-Soldier serum.

## Super-Soldier

After that, he became muscular, tall, and he was in peak physical condition. The organization running the operation, H.A.L.I.C (Homeland Association for Logistics and Intelligence Community), the predecessor of SHIELD, equipped Steve for battle and made him Captain America. Using an indestructible shield made of Vibranium, Steve was used to take down Nazi strongholds overseas.

Soon, though, Cap became involved with HYDRA, the Nazi rogue science division. Lead by Johann Schmidt, aka the Red Skull, they attempted to battle back against H.A.L.I.C. HYDRA wanted world domination. So Cap's attacks were diverted to stopping HYDRA's advances across enemy lines. Soon, Cap had help from Bucky, who had also enlisted in the secret division known as H.A.L.I.C. Side by side they fought until only 3 HYDRA strongholds remained. On the first one, they encountered Baron Zemo, who nearly killed Bucky. After they destroyed one hold, they advanced to the second one.

## The Death of Bucky

When they attempted to destroy the base, they encountered the Skull. The Skull held them off, and tried to escape on a rocket. Cap and Bucky managed to hold on. But, as they passed over the cold Atlantic, Cap fell off. Bucky wept and presumed him dead, then pursed the Skull. In the cockpit, he managed to knock the Skull unconscious. But in doing so, during the scuffle a canister was knocked off of the wall, and spilled onto Bucky and the Skull. The Skull had stolen a vial of the Super-Soldier serum and planned to use it on himself. With the Skull and himself affected by the Serum, Bucky managed to turn the plane around and crash off the coast of Spain. They were presumed dead as well.

## Found

Nearly 50 years later, the team known as the Avengers found Cap's body frozen in ice. They thawed him out, and Cap became part of the team. He took time to adjust to the 20th century, though, and now he fights alongside the Avengers. Eventually he would meet Sam Wilson, and pass on his legacy to Sam. Soon, though, the Skull returned, affected by the Super-Soldier serum, with a brainwashed Bucky, who had a mechanical arm and was also affected by the serum.

## Powers and Abilities

Steve is a perfect human specimen. He possesses no special powers, though he has good aim and accuracy in order to throw a shield.
