Code name: Captain America
Date of Birth: July 4th, 1920
Place of Birth: Brooklyn, New York
Age: 90
Known family: Steven Rogers (Captain America) (ancestor, deceased);
unidentified grandfather (presumed deceased);
Joseph Rogers (father, deceased);
Sarah Rogers (mother, deceased);
unborn child (deceased);
The Reflection in the mirror:
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Height: 6'2
Weight: 240
Legal Status: Adult
Occupation: Adventurer, federal official; intelligence operative, police officer, teacher, sparring partner, soldier
Affiliation: Avengers
Abilities: Captain America doesn't have 'powers', exactly, but is instead the peak of what human capability currently is. Thanks to the Super Soldier Serum he received during the war, Cap is as strong, fast, agile, and durable as a human being can be without being labeled 'super human'. He has been known to overhead press 800 lbs, but had also bench-pressed 1,100 lbs and curled 500 lbs. He is cited as having the strength of 10 men and has himself more once stated that he has the strength of half a platoon of fighting men (around 10). Steve's base running speed appears to be around 30 miles per hour, though with great strain he has clocked speeds around 60 mph, and his agility and reflexes are unmatched, not only able to leap 50 yards in a single bound, but also able to dodge even close range gunfire.
Steve's durability is also greatly enhanced, as his muscles and bones are denser and harder than that of a normal human, but still just under super human. His durability makes it much harder to beat him with conventional means and example being a 2x4 piece of wood would break before Steve even began to feel discomfort from a prolonged beating. His enhanced stamina allows him to exert impressive amounts of physical stress before wearing himself out, often able to push himself for nearly two hours without rest before showing any signs of exhaustion.
The serum didn't just affect his muscles, however, as it also increased his brain functionality. His tactical strategies and on the fly decision making are heavily attributed to his enhanced brain, and its ability to process and react to information at the fastest speed possible for a human being. This also gives him an eidetic memory, able to remember anything he sees, hears or learns with perfect recall, making him capable of briefly glancing at a map or other visual, yet perfectly recreating it at a later date without reminder. His ability to heal is also enhanced, making him able to heal much faster than a normal human, though what he can heal from is still the same as an average person. He is, however, highly resistant to many common illnesses and infections. A side effect of all of this is that his aging process has also been severely slowed down, some speculating that he may remain youthful indefinitely.
Thanks to his enhanced agility and strength, Steve is an expert gymnast, classified a 'gold medal' gymnast accomplished in many forms and variations of gymnastics, making him one of the top acrobats and aerialist. Captain America is an accomplished martial artist, trained in close quarters combat, as well as various other forms of hand to hand combat ranging from one on one duels to clearing out a whole room full of hostiles. Thanks to his gold medal gymnast level agility, Cap is able to use variations on known fighting styles in ways the average human could hardly imagine. Cap has even developed his own fighting style, combining jujitsu, boxing, judo, karate, pressure point strikes, acrobatics designed for any terrain, and even includes his one of a kind shield. Thanks to his years in the military, he has learned a great deal of various battlefield tactics and strategies, and is well trained in the use of most fire arms.
Cap also has master level accuracy, able to throw most projectile weapons with seemingly impossible accuracy, most famously is shield. Using his shield, he is able to 'bank' it off of walls, objects, and even enemies as a means to reach a more obscured target. He is also an expert in shield combat, building his martial arts forms and abilities around the use of this nearly indestructible weapon.
Cap is also fluent in many languages, including English, German, Russian, Japanese, and Italian. Trained to be an expert pilot, Steve can skillfully drive just about anything, including cars, planes, boats, sub marines, tanks, helicopters, motorcycles, and even some types of trains.
Steve has that many believe has nothing to do with the serum, however, is his unshakable force of will. When Captain America sets his mind to something, he will not be swayed, only in a few rare circumstances has he been. His will is so strong, in fact, that he is even capable of fully resisting various forms of mind control and hallucinations, able to force out even well trained psychics. Another ability not attributed to his enhancements are his skills as a sketch artist, which he sometimes applies to work outside of being Captain America, though mostly does so as a hobby.
What's hidden behind the mask:
Personality: Steve is a man of great honor and patriotism who understands the value of power, and the importance of doing what's right, no matter the cost. Born in a time when standing up for your country was 'the cool thing to do', Steve has strong values, though the love he has for his country does not blind him from it's faults, and isn't afraid to call out wrongs that he witnesses. His first and foremost belief is in what America stood for in his time: honor, justice, freedom and equality. A kind hearted man, Steve would gladly give up his incredible abilities and his title if it meant peace could truly be achieved however he knows that it is not that simple and will fight for the rights of every man, woman, and child, even to his last breath. He is always willing to lend a helping hand, or a shoulder to lean on, and often feels very protective of younger heroes, feeling a strong urge to help them succeed in their goals and become the next generation of earths defenders.
As Captain America, Steve is a brilliant tactician and natural born leader. In World War 2, he not only planned intricate, bold strategies to be used on the battle field, but more often than not lead the troops on said strategies, never willing to put other men in any danger he wouldn't place himself in first. Though he joined the Avengers initially as a recruit, he quickly rose through the ranks, and eventually became the agreed upon leader of the team for a time. A powerful presence in any room, people often look to Captain America for protection, or advice with their troubles, and Steve always tries his best to be there for anyone that needs him. Outside of the costume, Steve is just a normal, kind man; easy to get along with, but impossible to push over. He sees the world as a place that has lost its way and he hopes he can be a model of what it was back when people cared for people and the world fought for the right things.
History: Steve Rogers was born July 4, 1922, to poor Irish immigrant parents, Sarah and Joseph Rogers, and grew up a frail youth during the Great Depression in America. Little else is known about Rogers' early life other than the fact that a strong sense of duty, honor, and humility was instilled in him; perhaps due to his Irish Catholic upbringing. Rogers' father died when he was a child and his mother died from pneumonia later, when he was in his late teens.
As a young man in his mid-20s, horrified by newsreel footage of Nazis ransacking Europe and atrocities in Asia that the Empire of Japan committed in China and Korea, Rogers tried to enlist in the Army, that rejected him as 4-F because of his frailty and sickness. Overhearing the boy's earnest plea to fight for his country, General Chester Phillips, of the US Army, offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a top-secret performance-enhancing experiment called Operation Rebirth. Rogers agreed and was taken to a secret laboratory in Washington, D.C., where he was introduced to Doctor Abraham Erskine (code named Professor Joseph Reinstein), the creator of the Super-Soldier Serum.
After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the Super-Soldier Serum. Given part of the compound intravenously and another part orally, Rogers was then bombarded by vita-rays, a special combination of exotic wavelengths of radiation designed to accelerate and stabilize the serum's effect on his body. Steve Rogers emerged from the vita-ray chamber with a perfect human body. A Nazi spy, who observed the experiment, murdered Dr. Erskine mere minutes after its conclusion. Dr. Erskine died without fully committing the Super-Soldier formula to paper, leaving Rogers the sole beneficiary of his genius.
Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training program that taught him gymnastics, hand-to-hand combat and military strategy. Three months later, he was given his first assignment: to stop the Nazi agent called the Red Skull. To help him become a symbolic counterpart to the Red Skull, Rogers was given the red, white, and blue costume of Captain America. Rogers was also given the cover identity of a clumsy infantry private at Camp Lehigh.
Rogers was originally issued a traditionally shaped "kite" shield made of mundane steel, as well as a sidearm. President F.D. Roosevelt later presented Rogers with his now-legendary disc-shaped shield. Discovering that its excellent aerodynamic properties made it an effective offensive weapon, Rogers abandoned his sidearm.
During the war, "Cap" served as both a symbol of freedom and America's most effective special operative. In addition to working with his young sidekick Bucky, Cap regularly fought alongside other Allied super-powered heroes such as Namor the Sub-Mariner and the android Human Torch, who were the recognized core of the World War II super-team known as the Invaders. Rogers sometimes came into contact with a Canadian paratrooper named Jim Howlett, the man who would come to be known as Wolverine.
During the war, Rogers faced fascist Germans and imperialist Japanese. Among his foes and adventures were battles with George Maxon, who was an impostor Red Skull, the Manuel Perez White Death, the Legion of Unholy Beggars, the Dragon of Death, the Reaper, the Black Toad, the Black Talon, the Mikado, Stryker, Doctor Crime, Mock Mikado, Master Man and the Super-Axis, Togaro, Prophet of Hate, Agent Axis, the Shark, the Hyena, N2 and Mister Sinister, Dr. Togu, Doctor Destiny, Snapper, Jack The Ripper and Terdu, Dormammu, HYDRA, the Hand, the Grandmaster, the Ringmaster, Baron Zemo, Colonel Von Wagner, Fang (who later died in Hiroshima and thus became one with the Everwraith), and the Butterfly, he also prevented the murder of President F.D. Roosevelt by a group called the Defenders, the Battle of the Bulge, D-Day, stopping saboteurs in early March 1941, meeting Wakandans, saving President Roosevelt from a deranged Namor, meeting Nikola Tesla, saving a Manhattan Project scientist from Red Skull with the help of the Howling Commandos, stopping the Red Skull's plot to deploy a centuries-old automaton designed by a time-traveling Doctor Doom, facing the Red Skull in a hover device, scuffling with fellow Allies the Crusaders, fighting alongside the French Resistance and Peggy Carter, almost accidentally slaying a war orphan, saving Michael Kramer from the Red Skull. In April 1945, Rogers stormed the Red Skull's bunker, with Red Guardian, Patriot, and Spirit of '76, in his last WWII battle with Red Skull.
During the final days of the war, on April 18, 1945, Captain America and Bucky were trying to stop a bomb-loaded drone-plane, launched by Baron Zemo, when the plane exploded, apparently killing his partner Bucky and throwing Rogers into icy Arctic waters of the English Channel. The Super-Soldier Formula prevented crystallization of Rogers' bodily fluids, allowing him to enter a state of suspended animation. Although Rogers and Bucky had seemingly perished, the war still raged on and U.S. presidents and the government picked different volunteers, such as William Naslund, Jeffrey Mace, and another Steve Rogers, over the years, to take up the mantle of Captain America and keep the morale alive, and even after World War II ended.

A month had passed since Steve's arrival in the current. While the world seemed to have gotten crazier, it just happened to become even more insane. That seemed nearly impossible. Gods freely walked the Earth, and superheroes stood to fight against any threats. Back in the 40's, all he had to worry about was the threat of Germany and its allies. According to Tony, universes had merged. Something in space had triggered it. Many were working on a way to figure out why it happened. They weren't even figuring out how it happened. First, figuring out how to best tackle the task. All of it seemed a little goofy to him. Why wouldn't they have all manpower in figuring out the root cause of at all? While Steve wasn't as scientifically intelligent as some other Avengers, he knew how to get things done. It was always one of his skills. As a leader, many people had listened to him. His strive to get things done was usually much bigger than others. Therefore, he felt that, if the scientific community decided to focus on the biggest problem, everything would be solved. Not to mention the whole little government problems going around. Two governments had a chance to split the country into a civil war. One that no one needed.
While not apart of the scientific community, Steve had attempted to make a few helpful suggestions. Being not from the 21st century, they ignored him. Of course, it didn't stop him from resuming his duties as Captain America. The world needed him even more, and he would not let them down. Never again would he let anyone down. New villains had emerged, though most he had defeated were the unintelligent normal crooks who tried to beat up old ladies. One of the most humorous sights had to be a woman of eighty years taking down two men who thought they could nab her purse from her. People still had the will to fight. All Americans had that ability to stick up for themselves. It was what made the country great. But, they couldn't defend themselves all the time. Not all obstacles are easy to climb over. Steve would always be there to watch over them. Protect them when they needed. In this crazy world, they would need him very much over the next months. There would be no rest for Steve. The Avengers likely shared his exact belief. Except for maybe Stark, but he had something else to attend to. He was the representative for the Avengers, therefore he handled the bureaucratic stuff. Well, likely, Pepper did most of that work. He highly doubted Tony was truly the one signing all the papers.
Suddenly, on a relatively calm day, the police issued a statement. Due to an attack, they had blocked off the subways. No man or woman was allowed to venture into it. All scheduled trains had been cancelled, and they were already evacuating. It certainly did not seem like an attack from normal people. If it had been, the police would have been actively fighting the people. No, this was something much different. Dangerous. Likely, it was one of the new villains that prowled the streets. With the ever expanding roster, Steve doubted the world would truly ever be safe. No matter what they did, it seemed, they came back. Stronger than they were in the first place. Steve would not be put off by this, though, as he would continue his heroic ways for a very long time. Even with the villain population growing, it seemed that many heroes had followed them. People who actually knew how to take care of the damned villains. Though, no one knew who to trust. Heroes couldn't trust heroes. No one could trust anyone. The only allies were those known before the merger of the universes. Trust would not be an easy thing to come by. People weren't about to reach across the aisle to make a deal. Humans would be humans. The trusting creatures that were.
No matter what, though, Steve would not renounce his duties. That much could be seen as Captain America barged past the police and into the subway systems. Following the tracks, he noticed a train stopped. More off putting, though, was that it was being shaken heavily. Casting his gaze upwards, he noticed the large thing that was shaking it. Neither man nor animal. It seemed that he had been exposed to some radiation of sort. The creature was unknown to Steve. But, without thinking, he charged the thing. As the shield collided with the monster, he was sent back a few inches. Though, fortunately, he had hit the creature with enough force to take it off the train. Throwing the shield, he connected with its head. That would take it down for a few moment, as it fell to the ground below. Quickly, he barged into the train. Upon seeing Captain America, most had barged out of the door. From what he could see though, one woman was nearly trampled by the crowd. "You're going to be fine, miss," he said, taking her into his arms. With a quick burst of speed, the morning air was felt on their face as they emerged from the subway. "You may want to go capture that thing before it wakes up," Steve said to the police before looking down at the attractive woman in front of him. "Are you okay?" he asked, concern in his voice.
