1. Captain America: Captain America: A Real American Hero

2. In 1940, as America prepared for war, a frail young man volunteered for an experiment that transformed him into the ultimate physical specimen: the American Super-Soldier. Steve Rogers battled Nazis until a freak mishap placed him in suspended animation for decades. When he awakened, Rogers was truly a man out of time, though no less committed to fighting the evils of this perilous new era!

3. Real name: Steven Grant Rogers Occupation: Crime fighter Group affiliation: Avengers, formerly the Invaders Base of operations: Avengers Mansion, New York City First appearance: Captain America Comics #1 (historical, 1941), Avengers (Vol. 1) #4 (modern, 1964)

4. Weapons: Captain America's only weapon is his Vibranium shield, a concave disk 2 1/2 feet in diameter that weighs 12 pounds. The shield's exceptional aerodynamic properties enable it to slice through the air with minimal wind resistance and deflection of path. The disk's unparalleled overall durability, coupled with a natural concentric stiffness, allows it to rebound off solid objects with minimal loss of angular momentum. Powers: Enhanced by the Super-Soldier Serum, Captain America's agility, strength, endurance and reaction time are superior to those of an Olympic- level athlete. Also, Cap has mastered a number of fighting forms, including American-style boxing and judo. These abilities, combined with his indestructible shield, make him one of the finest human combatants Earth has ever known.

5. Captain America is the leader of an elite team of individuals with Extraordinary powers, called the Avengers. Captain America is a good leader not just because he leads a team, but because of his attitude and persona. Captain America has been around for 60 years fighting evil Villains and keeping the world same from its would-be conquerers Captain America, unlike other super heroes, only fights with a Shield. He is a very non-violent type of hero. The only reason For him performing violent acts is because of the nature of the Villains he goes toe-to-toe with.

6. He is a champion of justice, he is brave, and he symbolizes Purity and righteousness. What I really admire about him is that Even though he was created to serve America, he also helps to protect to protect the rest of the world. Captain America has also proved that he can hold his own as a Solo crime fighter. He started off solo and was later on selected to Lead the Avengers. In case you haven’t noticed, the sweater I’m wearing is Captain America’s uniform.
