We must all live in the real world... and sometimes that world can be pretty grim. But it is the [American] Dream... the hope... that makes the reality worth living. In the early 1940's, I made a personal pledge to uphold the Dream... And as long as the Dream remains even partially unfulfilled, I cannot abandon it!

I've always believed that all you need is one man to make a difference. To stand up when others are told to sit down. To speak loudly for those who have no voice. And to fight the good fight.
He is a famous patriotic superhero who fought against HYDRA, a Nazi organization led by the Red Skull during WWII as part of a secret Super-Soldier Serum experiment. He was revived in the modern age by the Avengers and became their leader as a champion of the ideals of truth, justice and the American way.
Captain America was the first Marvel Comics character to appear in media outside comics with the release of the 1944 movie serial, Captain America. Since then, the character has been featured in other films, television and video game series. In the titular 1990 film, he was portrayed by Salinger. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the character was portrayed by Chris Evans.
He was created by the late Joe Simon, Al Liederman and the late Jack Kirby, and first appeared in Captain America #1 in March of 1941.
Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world-- "No, you move.
Captain America is traditionally seen as one of the greatest heroes of the Marvel Universe. He is a righteous and brave man who always wants to see the good in people. From his origins as a superhero, Cap has always devoted himself to the protection of the weak and the defense of freedom and justice.
In spite of his virtues; however, Cap is plagued by his status as a "man out of time". Remembering his days as a soldier in World War II, Cap is worried that his idealism might be considered outdated in the modern world. Furthermore, seeing how idealized his legacy has become throughout the years, Cap sometimes believes that he might not be able to fulfill the image the world has of him. Regardless, Cap is still seen as the pinnacle of heroism and an example for everyone to follow.

~ Dr. Abraham Erskine to Steve Rogers upon his transformation.
Super Soldier Serum: As a result of the Super-Soldier Serum, Steve Roger’s body was enhanced to next step in human evolution and possesses enhanced physical and mental abilities superior to even the most extensively trained humans and any Olympic-level athlete who has ever competed. The serum is definite, meaning even if he chooses to live an unhealthy lifestyle none of his powers would weaken, his muscles are brawny and his body shape remains perfect no matter how many calories he intakes. Either way Rogers maintains a healthy life style which appears to have increased his capabilities further, much like how it increases it in regular humans.
Artificially Enhanced Physiology: Originally, the Super-Soldier Serum enhanced all of Rogers' bodily (including mental) to peak of human potential. However, Dr. Abraham Erskine stated his enhanced condition is "second to none" to non-enhanced humans. He can push his powers between peak human and low-level superhuman. He possesses enhanced strength, speed, agility, durability, stamina, reflexes, and accelerated healing. The Super-Soldier Serum also grants him heightened senses, a boosted immunity system and metabolism, and a regenerative healing factor which keeps him young and healthy.
Enhanced Strength: Steve's strength has been enhanced to the very peak of human potential; pushing into low-level superhuman strength, making him consistently able to sustain lifts exceeding 1000 lbs (454 kg). This strength also extends to his legs, enabling him to leap 20 ft (6 m) out in a single bound, and 10 ft (3 m) into the air without a running start.Though when really pushed, he has been able to leap even greater heights than 10 ft. He can snap steel handcuffs and chains with ease, overcome the pulling power of two modified motorcycles, wield a heavy bench-press barbell like it was a light-weight weapon, remove a large stone block from a wall using chains, topple a large statue while trying to break the chains that tied him to it, smash wooden columns with his fist, lift up a heavy utility pole, and a large steel beam,breaking through wooden walls and steel doors with a single kick, as well as lifting General Wo, a 460-lb. sumo wrestler, over his head and throwing him. It should be noted that Steve also seems to hold back meaning that his maximum could possibly be a bit higher. Steve is shown capable of overhead pressing a large tree which should put his abilities in the multiton area. He has bench pressed 2,500 pounds on daily workout routine. He is strong enough to lift at least 10 tons, but no more than 25 tons.
Enhanced Speed: Rogers can move at speeds equal to that of the absolute finest human athlete, being capable of running at a sustained 60 mph (97 kph); however, he has shown capacity to run at twice that pace over shorter distances when necessary or a mile "in just under a minute.He was stated to be able to run a mile in 60 seconds on two separate occasions and the typical person's average speed on a mile is somewhere from half to two thirds of their sprint. [2], and humvees can travel at top speed up to 70 miles an hour (mph). From all this reasoning it can be said that Captain America can run at almost 100 miles per hour one complete sprint.
Enhanced Durability: His bones and muscles are vastly harder and far denser than typical humans, as they are amplified to the highest human potential and beyond, making him extremely durable. Captain America's bones and muscles are far denser and harder than normal. He can withstand lethal impacts such as falling from several stories, and sky diving into the water from a height of 2500 feet. Captain America's body is durable to the point when he was being punched by a corrupt soldier in the torso, it resulted in the soldier’s wrists breaking thanks to his super-dense muscles. He can withstand explosions such as the Jet Wash of a Ballistic Missile, grenades that blow in his face, gets hit by the shock wave of a Atomic Bomb, and then crashes into the icy sea and still lives through to tell the tale. He has also been slammed by War Machine through a city bridge as well as tanked beatings from Captain Britain suit SHIELD agents, a ramming Iron Man Suit that craters the earth even with tons of tranquillizers in his body with minimum damages done to his body. He is also durable enough to take hits from powerful enemies with superhuman strength without any notable damages. He is durable enough that a concrete block, or a hardwood ax handle, have been shown to break against him with Rogers exhibiting little discomfort. During the Super Soldier event, he withstood being struck by an ironwood bat with no visible injury. This is how he survived other forms of extensive punishment throughout his career, such as withstanding a nearby explosion, being buried beneath a collapsed building after having been smashed through many walls and floors by the Red Skull from Super-Patriot: Part 4, and such as the time he landed on a vehicle, or a high altitude, low open parachute jump that lasted a few seconds from ten miles up during the mini storyline of Captain America Living Legend part 2, with little to no injury.
Enhanced Agility: Rogers' agility is beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. He can coordinate his body with perfect balance, flexibility, equilibrium, coordination, and dexterity. Cap's physical abilities are heightened to the point where he can perform any physical act without difficulty. He merely needs to imagine himself doing the act in his mind, then he is able to perform it without any problem.
Enhanced Reflexes: Rogers' reaction speed is almost ten times faster than normal humans, granting his reflexes at the superhuman level. His reaction speed makes it possible for him to dodge arrows, gunfire, and even lasers in short range from multiple gunners at the same time; however, on one occasion, it was seen that during his training, he can get shot by a bullet if there were too many to evade.
Enhanced Stamina: Steve's body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in his muscles and his muscles generates less fatigue-toxins.Rogers' is unable to feel the fatigue toxins flowing through his body, however this does not mean that he doesn't tire, it means he doesn't feel the effects of it.Captain America's body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing poisons in his muscles and his musculature generates considerably less fatigue toxins than the muscles of an ordinary human being, granting him phenomenal endurance. He can physically exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue toxins begins to impair him. His lung capacity is at peak human level enabling him to hold his breath under water for hours, making his lungs as healthy as a normal human's lungs can get. Carol Danvers also remarked about Captain America's stamina, stating "Cap only needs an hour or two's sleep every week". Hecan exert himself at peak capacity for several hours without any rest and before showing any signs of fatigue toxins in his bloodstream. He could also resist the freezing cold waters of the Arctic, as not only did he survive being frozen for decades, he also spent time searching for D-Man. Steve does occasionally need to eat and sleep however his efficient metabolic systems and inability to feel fatigue allow Steve to fight for potentially days without experiencing the negative effects of exhaustion.
Accelerated Healing Factor: Rogers' healing speed and efficiency is enhanced to function at the absolute peak limitations of human capabilities, which means he can heal faster than typical humans. The white blood cells and Super-Soldier Serum in his body are efficient enough to fight off any microbe, foreign body, and other pathogens from his body, keeping him healthy and immune from all infections, diseases, disorders, etc., it allows him to rapidly regenerate any damaged or destroyed bodily molecules, cellular, tissues and organs instantaneously. Captain America is immune to all Earthly diseases, infections and disorders, and has never become ill after receiving the Super-Soldier Serum. He's impervious to gas attacks, poisons, and nerve-toxins of any kind and completely resistant to diseases like anthrax, smallpox and HIV. His immune system is so powerful that "a half a pint of tetrodotoxin" shows no ill effects. Steve's metabolism work's several times faster than regular humans making it take incredible doses of drugs to incapacitate him. Rogers furthermore cannot become intoxicated by alcohol,drugs, or impurities in the air, and is thus immune to typical terrestrial diseases.He is also immune to hypnosis or gases that could limit his focus, which makes him genetically perfect. Rogers' ability to heal is so great that his eyes regenerated after having been incapacitated by Arnim Zola's Robotic[1]Body furthermore, he survived a bullet to the head, though he was unconscious for at least six weeks, and Alisande Morales surmised that Rogers recovered partially due to sheer willpower.
Enhanced Mental Process: His mental performance is greatly enhanced allowing it to operate in the most advanced and rapid manner possible. His mind also processes information quickly, giving him an accelerated learning aptitude, this makes him capable of adapting to most if not all fighting styles within seconds and within mere months of his training he became proficient in all fighting styles known to man at that time. Rogers can also quickly multi-task and analyze multiple, limitless information streams and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations. He is a natural super-genius, possessing absolute intelligence. He possesses perfect pattern solving/recognition, limitless information storage/retrieval, perfect perception/observational skills, perfect deductive/reasoning skills, and logical/philosophical structuring. He possesses an eidetic/photographic memory and perfect recall (meaning he never forgets what he sees or experiences), the ability to speed read, and can intuitively understand what's going to happen and how to deal with it. This enables him to remember any military tactic and apply it to any situation, making him the best tactician in history.
Enhanced Senses: Rogers' five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are enhanced to the highest limits of human potential; meaning they are better than average humans.He can see much further and then a normal human with perfect clarity, even retaining this perfect clarity even in total darkness. His hearing is enhanced, enabling him to detect sounds normal humans can't and sounds they ordinarily could but at much greater distances. His sense of smell is sufficiently heightened to track a target by scent. He can perceive infra-red, ultra-violent, heat, and heartbeats. He once said that he is able to dodge bullets because he sees faster than them,as if time itself is standing still.He was able to hear trucks driving by from far away,as well as the slightest footfall,and could feel heat through thick walls simply by lightly brushing against them.
Extended Longevity: The Super Soldier Serum prevents Rogers from aging, granting him the power of ageless immortality. Steve possess a form of eternal youth. It is theorized that the perfect cells of super soldiers make them age slower, this was tested when he spent a decade in Dimension Z, yet returned to Earth the same day with no noticeable signs of aging. Beyond this the Hydra alternative of the infinity formula called the Lazarus formula was injected into Steve. Though the exact changes that the Formula made it likely just made cap more enduring and durable and probably increased his healing and suspended his aging even further.

Notes[]
Service[]
Rogers was turned not only into a soldier but, in light of being the US's only super-soldier, was made a symbol of his country. Rogers was given a uniform decorated in red, white and blue and sent to the front lines to try to make as big an impact as he could before he was eventually shot down in the line of duty. Rogers first mission went better than expected and he not only survived, but helped turn the tide of the entire battle. With that, the US military realized just how much a single soldier could make, as did Rogers himself and he was re-dubbed "Captain America" and used for either battles vital to the Allies victory over the Axis or on secret missions to destroy, undermine the Nazi's more illicit activities, such as those of their science boosters, HYDRA.
Comics/Reality segregation[]
The Captain America comics were originally US war-time propaganda in real life. The character of Captain America was used symbolically to inspire troops to fight the Nazis and imply that Captain America would be right out there with them. The first comics were little more than small panels about beating up Hitler or stopping evil Nazi experiments (in real life, the Nazis did dream and boast that they would have a super-soldier program of their own) and so soldiers were encouraged to fight and die for their country to prevent it, with the Captain America comics showing a worst-case scenario where the Nazis actually had achieved super-soldier technology. Later Marvel would collect, string together and/or reform previous issues to make a coherent story that continued the character after the war ended.
It should be noted that while early issues stated that Captain America was fighting the Nazis on the front-lines, most if not all real-life soldiers knew it to be just a comic, though one that they were happy to escape into.
Trivia[]
Ranked 2nd in "The Top 50 Avengers" in 2012.
Ranked 6th on IGN's "Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time".
Raked 2nd on IGN's "Top 25 Best Marvel Superheroes".
He is one of the few characters worthy to wield Mjolnir.
He has been entrusted with Black Panther's technology, and has access to Iron Man's armory.
He was granted a Paladin-Plus Clearance at the Pentagon.
Joe Simon initially considered calling him "Super American", but decided not to, arguing that there were too many "Supers" and not a lot of "Captains" in comics at the time.
Captain America is one of the few people that Deadpool respects, due to him being his childhood hero, and both empathize with each other due to them both getting their powers from an experiment. In addition, Rogers is one of the few heroes to like Deadpool, and isn't quick to be annoyed with him.
