Backstory
Captain America's secret identity as Steve Rogers. Born in 1920, Rogers lost both of his parents to disease and grew up with a multitude of conditions, including asthma. When World War World War II began, he tried to apply for the army, hoping to join and battle injustice at the enemies' hands, though was constantly rejected due to his medical concerns. Due to his conviction, Rogers was allowed to partake in "Project: Rebirth", an experiment to create super-soldiers for the government. Agreeing to become the first test subject, he successfully underwent the process, increasing his strength, stamina, agility, and intelligence to peak-human condition.
However, a sleeper agent working for the enemy murdered the scientist in charge and tried to steal the super-soldier serum. Rogers was able to stop him but destroyed the serum in the process. Without the scientist and with serum destroyed, the US decided to send him to the war and to fight the enemy. To promote their struggle and increase morale in the tropes, Rogers was given a costume, colored in a similar fashion to the American Flag and a shield, and branded his as "Captain America". With this identity, he would lead the allies to fight the Axis forces and a variety of enemies, including the organization HYDRA and its leader the Red Skull. He also mentored young soldier James "Bucky" Barnes, who would later become an assassin called the Winter Soldier.
Near the end of the war, Captain America caught in a rigged drone plane and, unable to disarm the bombs, was forced to crash it into the North Atlantic. Believed to have died, he was instead cryogenically frozen by the climate for many decades. Eventually, Rogers was found by S.H.I.E.L.D. and revived. After adjusting to the new time period, he became an operative for the organization, going on a variety of intelligence and investigation missions. This would bring him into conflict with a variety of foes, including survivors from his war days and new supervillains. Captain America also became a member of the Avengers and served the leader for a number of years.
