Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a
poor family.
Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was
inspired to enlist in the army. However, because of his frailty and
sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy’s earnest plea, General
Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special
experiment… Operation: Rebirth.
After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the ‘Super-Soldier
Serum’ and bombarded by ‘vita-rays.’ Steve Rogers emerged from the
treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human.
Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training
program. Three months later, he was given his first assignment as Captain
America. Armed with his indestructible shield and battle savvy, Captain
America has continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty
and leader of the Avengers.
