Captain America (real name Steven "Steve" Rogers) is an American war hero and the first Avenger from World War II. He was frozen in ice for decades-long enough to survive until the 21st century. He was first discovered by the Avengers when they were searching for the Hulk in the Arctic after defeating the Enchantress and Skurge the Executioner.
He was voiced by Brian Bloom, who also voices Captain America in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 (Classic and Ultimate), Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, and Marvel's Midnight Suns.
Biography[]
Captain America has a much larger role in the show. Much like his 616 counterparts, Captain America served in World War II (WWII) and was thought dead after his final mission. He attempted to disable a bomb launched by the Red Skull, and the resulting explosion threw him into Arctic waters, where he froze and remained in suspended animation for decades. Captain America was eventually found by the Avengers (who were searching for a rogue Hulk while heard the orders of Enchantress and Skurge). After fighting his own World War II enemy Baron Zemo, as well as Arnim Zola and his creation Doughboy, Captain America would then join the Avengers as the new co-leader.
He served as a loyal member of the Avengers in their missions during this time. He and the rest of the Avengers aided Black Panther in reclaiming Wakanda to stop the wrath of the Man Ape M'Baku, helping Hulk and Hawkeye destroy the Leader's Gamma World, defeated Zemo's Masters of Evil (secretly led by Loki), and Captain America also helped Hawkeye in his unsanctioned attack on HYDRA Island. But Captain America was the inadvertent cause of one of the Avengers' biggest threats when Kang the Conqueror traveled to the 21st century to kill Cap. He claimed that Cap was an anomaly in the space-time continuum, and that Captain America's betrayal would eventually lead to the destruction of Earth and the Invasion's commence of 2 alien empires: the Kree and the Skrulls. Kang would eventually be defeated, but his claims would have repercussions in the next season. Captain America meanwhile, continued to adjust to 21st-century life; teaching Iron Man how to fight without his armor and getting used to the J.A.R.V.I.S. AI and the Quinjet.
The Avengers also went up against both A.I.M. and HYDRA (and SHIELD Formerly; later joining the Avengers), who were fighting over a Cosmic Cube created by the former. During the battle, Captain America wrestled with Baron von Strucker (leader of HYDRA) for the Cube, and they both touched it at the same time. While it seemed as though nothing happened, the Cube secretly worked - fulfilling Cap's truest desire - resurrecting his dead sidekick Bucky who was killed in the bomb's explosion during WWII and he lost his left arm. Subsequently, Cap would fight with the rest of the Avengers against Ultron, Malekith the Accursed with his demons, and Loki with the power of Odin. At the end of the first season of listening Hela's warning orders, Captain America was ambushed by a Skrull shapeshifter in his room, who announced that the infiltration had begun.
At the start of the second season, Captain America had the 2nd outfit of Ultimate Avengers and started wearing an energy shield designed by Tony, to replace the shield he had lost when Odinforce Loki destroyed it with his scepter. In one crucial mission, Baron Zemo, Crimson Dynamo, Wonder Man, and Abomination sought the aid of the Avengers to defeat Enchantress and Executioner (who were hunting down their former teammates). Zemo placed Captain America in charge of the plan to disable Enchantress's power because he knew he could trust Cap, but as the Skrull shapeshifter was masquerading in Cap's place, 'Captain America' betrayed Zemo. This was one of the hints that Cap had been replaced. Later on, when Iron Man receives intel that a member of his team is a Skrull shapeshifter, the team fractures in distrust and breaks apart. Only Captain America, Hulk, Wasp, and Hawkeye remained together.
As his Skrull impersonator continued to lead the team, the real Captain America was being tortured and held in a Skrull spaceship. They were trying to figure out how to break him, so as to learn how to defeat humanity, but failed to do so. Instead, Cap was able to engineer an escape, and temporarily teamed up with all of the superheroes and villains who were captured and impersonated - Madame Viper, Mockingbird, Agent Quartermain, King Cobra, Henry Gyrich, Invisible Woman, and the Scientist Supreme Lyle Getz. Together, the group made an escape, hijacking a Skrull craft back to Earth and subduing Super-Skrull. Back on Earth, the fake Captain America gave the order for the Skrull fleet to begin infiltrating Wakanda and Washington, D.C. The Skrulls had realized that they shouldn't try to defeat humanity, but use 'Captain America' to convince them.
Back on Earth, the team is finally reassembled together after initial misunderstandings, and the Skrull invasion begins. Super-Skrulls are used to subdue the Avengers, and the Cap impersonator goes on live TV to try to subdue the human race by telling them to embrace the Skrull Empire (thus fulfilling Kang's claim that Cap's betrayal would end the world). But the real Cap returns with other prisoners, and together with the reunited Avengers (Iron Man figured out how to reveal Skrull disguises as well with the help of Dr. Doom and Thor returning to Earth with his new armor to become more worthy that Odin made it after rebuilding Asgard), they defeat the invasion. Captain America successfully defeats his impersonator, though his reputation has been ruined in the fallout. As a result of his Skrull impersonator, the public turns against Cap and brands him a traitor. But after a mission with Spider-Man where they saved a group of innocents, the Daily Bugle clears his name.
Cap would then go on to fight in several other missions (facing off against the Vision and fixing the shield to let Black Panther rejoin the team, the Loki-Destroyer, Annihilus, the final match of Ultron and Purple-Man, who controlled Iron Man) but his past would come back to haunt him when Senator Dell Rusk (secretly known as the Red Skull, who also survived after the final battle of World War II) attacks the team. The team was comprised of conditioned heroes, including the Winter Soldier - who was actually Bucky. Bucky and Cap eventually reconcile, though after defeating Red Skull and his Sleepers, the two go their separate ways, but will meet again on the next battle. After getting Hulk back on the team to defeat the Red Hulk (Revealed as Thunderbolt Ross), the Avengers would then go on to fight the Kree Empire and the Supreme Intelligence, with the aid of Captain Marvel. The last episode of the series would also have the Avengers and all superheroes go up against Galactus and his heralds (Excluding Silver Surfer).
In the final scene of the series, Galactus is defeated and the crowd cheers on as Captain America tells Iron Man, "You wanted to know how history will remember the Avengers, Iron Man? Well, here's your answer."
Captain America has the Super-Soldier Serum in his veins, granting him peak human conditioning. He also had his indestructible Vibranium shield.
