Captain America is a comic American-soldier and super hero. He started in Timely Comics in 1941 but later reappeared in Marvel Comics and is now one of the more familiar characters in the Marvel universe. His alter ego is American World War 2 soldier Steve Rogers.

Steve was the son of Irish immigrants and was born weaker then normal children. He became an adult at the same time World War 2 started. He wanted to join the fight against the Nazis but the military said he was too weakly built to join the US army. So instead he signed up to be a test subject for the US military (Now that’s devotion! Not that I would do that with our currant government, but this was back then that rocked). After some extreme training, under his weakness, Steve was picked to be the first soldier to go though Operation Rebirth. A scientist code named Abraham Erskine created a Supers-Soldier serum which would transform a person to the perfect physical form. When Steve was injected, he turned into the perfect soldier. His physical performance was above normal in all areas with heightened durance, flexibility, awareness, and senses.

After the project worked on Steve, Erskine was killed be an Nazi assassin. Since Erskine only had the serum in his head, it was lost forever. Only Steve Rogers would be transformed to the super-soldier. Steve Rogers vowed to defend the America people and joined the war as Captain America. He wore the whole superhero suit including a mask only the design on his suit was based on the American Flag and he used a shield as his main weapon. He fought well against the Nazis and became famous quickly. His presence upped the soldiers’ moral and the government used his image to help recruit soldiers.

At the end of the war, Captain got stuck in a new type of submarine that froze deep in the North Atlantic Ocean. The ice froze him and preserved him (with the help of the super-soldier serum that he took) for decades. Decades later, the Avengers, a Marvel superhero team, found him and unfroze him. The Captain joined the Avengers and later became the team leader. He uses his enhanced strengths, skills, and years of fighting experience to match the super traits of his new found teammates.

Captain is cool because he represents all that is good about this country. He fights solely for peace and freedom with no hidden agendas. He is honorable and respectable. The Captain is also liked because of his fighting style. He is only enhanced, he does not have amazing super powers so he has to use his skills to fight (I mean come on, anyone who can take out a whole squadron of soldiers with only a shield and his fists is awesome). He also uses military weapons like guns and grenade but he does is with such skill that impress reader.

Another reason Captain America rocks is because he fights for what he believes in and knows is right, not what he is ordered to do. He is often found arguing with his superiors (Nick Fury). He fights for the American people, not the American government. Don’t Believe me? What is he doing now? In the currant Marvel story Civil War, the US government wanted to implant chips into all superheroes so that they can be monitored. Captain America thought it was against the American rights and left the military and Avengers to fight against it. For freedom? Against chip implants? Captain America, you truly are our hero.
