Though Steve possesses no abilities on his own, perhaps the most common thing he is known for is his ‘super-soldier’ capabilities having been injected with the Super Soldier Serum created by Howard Stark. His strength, agility, reflexes, healing, endurance, speed and durability are all at a ‘super’ level, practically ten times stronger than the usual human being. His body continually circulates the serum and therefore these abilities never ‘wear off.’

This serum also enhances his metabolic functions, granting him other abilities as well such as being able to bench press 1200 pounds, and running a mile in 73 seconds (49 MPH). It is because of this metabolic enhancement that he was able to survive being ‘frozen in time’ for so many years, and it also keeps him immune to toxins such as getting drunk, noxious gasses and even hypnosis.

Coming from a time of war, Steve is also an expert tactician and field commander. Over the years he has blended judo, kickboxing, gymnastics and western boxing into his own blended style for combat fighting as well as being a master in various methods of martial arts. Because of his military knowledge, he is also very practiced and well learned in combat strategy, survival, military strategy, piloting and demolitions.

With his shield, as he has had much time to practice, he is able to throw it into a group of men, knocking them all down like bowling pins. He can also ricochet his shield with accurate precision when needed and even use his shield with ‘boomerang’ type effects when able to focus on the angles.

Steve is just an all around-patriot with a deep love for his country and everything that is America but doesn't hesitate when he sees an opportunity to make America even better. He is a very dedicated friend and has a set group of ideals. Steve is also against oppression, which is why he is particularly irritated about the current mutant/meta human registration as he believes that it violates their constitutional rights. Steve is also very stuck in the past, always dwelling on his times during World War 2 and still sometimes finds it hard to believe just how much times have changed. Steve will never risk an ally willingly, nor would he let any citizen die if he can help it. He also holds no animosity towards any country and will give a helping hand to any who may need it, as long as their views are the same.

Born July 4th 1920 to poor Irish immigrant parents Sarah and Joseph Rogers. Stereotypically called the 'scrawny kid' throughout his entire childhood up until his late teens, Steve tried and tried again to enlist for World War 2 and time and time again he was shot down because of his small stature. Steve didn't know his father well, he died from alcohol poisoning when Steve was just a boy so he was solely raised by his mother who also died from pneumonia when Steve was in his late teens. It was during one of these attempts to enlist in the army when General Chester Phillips took an interest in the boy. He saw loyalty, bravery, and compassion for his country and Steve was automatically swooped up for a project they called Operation Rebirth. It was a simple operation...develop America's army's into the ideal 'super soldier.' Make them taller, faster, stronger, more durable and less likely to die. The project had never gone successfully however, but Steve didn't care. Whatever he could do to help, he volunteered whole-heartedly.

Miraculously, Steve's body accepted the serum (created with the help of Howard Stark) and his body overcame drastic changes. He had grown to 6'2", 240 pounds of pure muscle. Everything about him was amplified. He could run as fast as the cars could drive, he could swim deeper and hold his breath longer, he could lift things he never even imagined anyone else being able to lift...and he did it easily. He went through three months of extensive training, adapting his new skills to the tactics he had already learned as a boy. Then HYDRA attacked, and Steve was sent on a mission to stop Red Skull from turning the war...and the rest...is history...

The shield given to Steve is all the vibranium known in existence. The scientists who had first discovered it burned the formula so that no one might discover it's secrets. Since then, scientists have tried and tried again to replicate the same durability into a metal that could match Captain America's shield, and by reverse processing they were able to come up with adamantium, but have yet to re-create vibranium.

Now that the fiasco in New York and the Thunder God had been taken care of, Steve made himself scarce, especially when hearing about Nick Fury's dismissal. Steve is known all around the world as Captain America, and everyone knows him as Steve Rogers. There are many groups out there that want to see Steve and the rest of the Avengers pay for damages caused by the alien attack, and even serve time in prison. Steve sees things differently however, that the justice system has been corrupted, and so he jumped at the first contact he had received from Tony Stark for their new mission, not only to clear his name, but every other unjustified American out there fighting for their freedom as well.
