Captain America: Storyline
The storyline of Captain America starts with a scrawny young man called Steve Rogers. He lives in New York and is the son of Irish immigrants who died when he was a child. The year is 1940 and Steve is so appalled by what is going on with the war in Europe that he tries to enlist. The fact that he is so weedy means that his application to join the army is refused – he just isn’t soldier material.
Another option is given to Steve Rogers. He is contacted by a secret branch of the US defense forces and they offer him a way to serve his country. Steve agrees to join their experiments and he is subject to a rigorous regime of testing and receiving special medications. The experiment is called ‘operation rebirth’ and it aims to produce the ultimate soldier. The medication that Steve receives included super-soldier serum and it soon starts having an effect. He also has to go through a procedure which involves being exposed to special rays.
Steve Rogers is completely transformed by operation rebirth. He goes from being a scrawny youngster to being the ultimate fighting machine. The organizers of the operation are happy with the progress and pronounce Steve to be a ‘nearly perfect human-being’. Before they can create more soldiers like Steve though, a Nazi spy manages to kill the lead scientist of the operation – the secret of the special serum dies with him. Steve Rogers is now going to be the only human who has these special abilities.
The American government decides to scrap the idea of super-soldiers but realize that they can use Captain America in other ways. They figure out that he would be great for counter-intelligence and he could also be used for propaganda. They supply Steve Rogers with a special uniform and soon he is off fighting the bad guys. He now has a dual identity; Captain America and Steve Rogers.
