Steve Rogers was just a scrawny kid from Brooklyn growing up in a world at war.
Though he initially failed the draft, Rogers was recruited by Dr. Abraham
Erskine for the U.S. Super Soldier project. Injected with a special serum, the small
cadet gained peak human physique. Taking on the alias of Captain America, Rogers
became a living symbol of of freedom as he battled the Nazis over the course of
World War II. Though he seemingly died while taking down a Nazi bomber drone,
Cap was frozen in the arctic and eventually revived by the superheroes of modern day.
Becoming one of the founding members of the Avengers superhero team, Cap continues
to protect his country, world, and universe from neo-Nazi terrorists and the
occasional alien conqueror.

day, but not without having his face permanently scarred.
With the help of henchmen like the marksman Crossbones
and the assassin Sin (who is also Schmidt's daughter), the
Skull continues his efforts to vanquish Cap and become
the "superior man."

with the Masters of Evil or leading the Thunderbolts
(his team of supervillains pretending to be heroes).

Billionaire playboy turned high-tech hero, Tony Stark was
one of Cap's closest friends as well as co-leader of the
Avengers (that is until the Superhero Civil War). While
Stark sided with the UN and signed the Superhero
Registration Act, Cap and his "Secret Avengers" refused,
believing the Act gave governments too much power over
superhumans. This disagreement turned into an all-out
battle between Earth's mightiest heroes, and in the end
Steve Rogers gave up his mantle as Captain America.
