Captain America (Aboodash56)

"The price of freedom is high. It always has been. But it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not."

- Steve Rogers

Captain Steven "Steve" Grant Rogers is a World War II veteran and is known as the world's first superhero. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York City, the young Rogers suffered from numerous health problems, and upon America's entry into the Second World War, he was rejected from military service despite several attempts to enlist. His life changed when Military Sergeant Dugan recruited him for Project Rebirth after hearing Rogers's pleas. After voluntarily subjecting to surgery, steroid treatments, and other experimental treatments supervised by Dr. Erskine, Rogers became the first genetically-enhanced super-soldier.
