Captain America

Captain America is the world's first documented superhero.

Early Life:

Steve Rogers was born on July 4, 1918, in Brooklyn to Grant and Sarah Rogers. Steve grew instilled with a great sense of right and wrong; to the point where he repeatedly enlisted in the United States Army despite being turned down due to his poor physical condition.

Origin:

In 1945, Steve was recruited by Doctor Erik Erikstine to be augmented to peak human physical condition so Rogers could join the war. When the program succeeded, the US Army coined Rogers "Captain America" and gave him a Vibranium shield that would absorb the kinetic energy of the objects that connected with it.
