Faction: Original Avenger
Backstory: Envious of his friend Bucky Barnes’ military enlistment, and undeterred by his own multiple rejections by the U.S. Army, physical weakling Steve Rogers made one more attempt to join the march of men to fight for their country in the dark days of World War II. Rogers’ valiant wish to fight bullies wherever they were grabbed the attention of scientist Dr. Abraham Erskine, and he handpicked the idealistic young man for the Army’s Super-Soldier program under his supervision. The serum turned him into Captain America, the symbol of America’s fight against the Nazis during WW2. Captain America took the fight directly to the Nazi villain Red Skull when he led an invasion of the villain’s base in an all-out attempt to break Hydra’s hold on the war. Rogers successfully boarded the Skull’s aircraft as it took off to launch an attack on the United States. But, when his foe’s powerful Tesseract energy source spelled the Red Skull’s doom, the Super-Soldier found himself with no other alternative then to purposefully crash the plane to stop its pre-programmed drive toward America. While Peggy Carter listened through radio communications with the aircraft, Steve Rogers took it down into the icy North Atlantic waters and apparently to his death.
He remained frozen for 80 years. After that time had passed, SHIELD found him and rescued him from his frozen state. Almost immediately Nick Fury recruited him for the Avengers Initiative. Cap remained the leader for a long time, until Iron Man’s death. He has recently found himself incapable of fighting skillfully as his body ages and the serum effects wear thin. He hopes to heroically go down one last time.
Powers/Weapons/Tech: Super strength, speed (although these are rusty now)
