Captain America

## Summary

Born to poor Irish immigrants in the 1920s,  **Steven Grant Rogers** always felt a strong sense of duty to his country and a desire to defend the weak and helpless from those that would prey on them. Unfortunately, his impoverished upbringing left him a scrawny and weak youth at the advent of WWII - and was denied enlistment in the U.S. Army.

His impassioned plea to serve his country in any way led him to be designated as the test subject for a new, top-secret super soldier formula devised by Dr. Abraham Erskine, transforming the sickly young man into the pinnacle of human athleticism. Now christened **Captain America**, Rogers led the charge against the Nazi regime and its subsidiary HYDRA before seemingly giving his life to stop a bomb-loaded drone plane, crashing beneath the Arctic Ocean. Instead of dying, the frigid waters placed him in suspended animation, and he was revived in the modern era by the Avengers, becoming their leader to defend truth, justice, and the American way.

Captain America was created by Joe Simons and Jack Kirby in *Captain America Comics #1* in December 1940
