Steve Rogers was once a weak youth who was rejected for military
duty during World War Two. Possessing a fierce patriotic spirit, he jumped
at the chance to aid his country and volunteered for the secret Super
Soldier program. Rogers was injected with a serum that turned his once weak
body into a perfect physical specimin. Outfitted with a red, white and blue
costume and a matching shield, Rogers became Captain America, the symbol of
liberty during the war. After the war, he was believed lost but was
actually frozen in a glacier. Recovered in the late twentieth century,
Captain America became a new symbol in these new times. His courage and
leadership skills earned him the honor of leading the Avengers, a group of
super heroes dedicated to preserving peace. Still armed with his
indestructable shield, Captain America stands ready to conquer evil no
matter what form it takes.
