CAPTAIN AMERICA

STORY

Captain America is the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a frail young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort.

TRAITS

A "perfect" specimen of human development and conditioning, Captain America's strength, endurance, agility, speed, reflexes, durability, and healing are at the zenith of natural human potential.

He is also highly resistant to hypnosis or gases that could limit his focus.

EQUIPMENT

Captain America uses a nigh-indestructible disc-shaped shield made from an experimental alloy of steel and the fictional vibranium as an offensive throwing weapon.

His uniform is made of a fire-retardant material, and he wears a lightweight, bulletproof "duralumin" scale armor beneath his uniform for added protection.

Besides, there’s a custom specialized motorcycle, modified by the S.H.I.E.L.D. weapons laboratory.

ENEMIES

Nazism (Red Skull, Baron Zemo)Neo-Nazism (Crossbones, Doctor Faustus)

Technocratic fascism (AIM, Arnim Zola)Communism (Aleksander Lukin)

Anarchism (Flag Smasher and Viper)International and domestic terrorism

(HYDRA)

CONCLUSION

Captain America is a shining epitome of a true hero since the times of World War II and continues to bloom as a symbol of justice and patriotism. Although he lacks superhuman strength, Captain America is one of the few mortal beings who has been deemed worthy enough to wield Thor's hammer.

Nurture your mind with great thoughts; to believe in the heroic makes heroes
