He was a commoner ardently aspiring to become a soldier. After a few disappointing initial failures frail Steve Rogers got selected for the super soldier experiment in US military. Serum injection and Vita-ray dosing made him muscular. In fund collection campaigns during the trying times of WW II he toured the country in countless colorful fancy costumes. For his patriotic endeavors during the national exigency he was profoundly proud to be designated as Captain America. He proved his worth as a brave warrior with startling ingenuity when all the prisoners of war he skillfully succeeded in freeing by infiltrating alone the fortified fortress of the Hydra base of the Nazi General Schmidt, nicknamed as crafty Red Skull. To incapacitate him from using weapons of mass destruction Rogers gallantly tackled Schmidt inside his ingenious aircraft that finally crashed in the icy waters of the desolate Arctic sea. Schmidt vanished in the dark space, Rogers remained untraced. The Captain eventually woke up in an old style hospital bed to a new life after seventy years from suspended animation, a singular feat that befitted the amazing attribute of a superhero who assimilated the extraordinary elements of the first avenger.
