Chester Phillips offered him a place in a top-secret
biological experiment, Operation: Rebirth. Steve Rogers was
injected with the experimental Super Soldier Serum and exposed
to low-level radiation to enhance the formula’s
effectiveness. After combat training Captain America was
transferred base to base under the guise of a private in the
Army. All the while Cap was thwarting Hitler and the Nazis at

Captain America soon gained a partner
Bucky Barnes, a teenager who had discovered Cap's secret identity.
During the waning days of WWII, a bomb-loaded drone plane launched
by Nazi technician Baron Heinrich Zemo exploded with Cap and Bucky
aboard, killing the youngster and hurling his mentor unhurt into the
icy Arctic. The Super Soldier Serum, combined with the extreme cold
of the water, enabled Cap to survive for years in a state of
suspended animation. Captain America was rescued years later by the
Avengers and became one of their most prominent members.
Captain America has become the
people's champion, representing the people of America rather than
the government. Since the recent attacks on America, Cap has a even
more greater resolve to protect his country and the principles for
which she stands.
Enemies: No one hates Captain
America more than the Axis Nazi the Red Skull, Cap's enemy from
World War II.
