History: Young Brooklyn native Steve Rogers answered his country’s call to arms during the second World War by joining the army. In 1942 Steve enrolled in a secret super-soldier program where he was injected with a special super-soldier serum that gave him enhanced strength and abilities. Donning a red, white, and blue costume and calling himself Captain America, Steve’s new powers were used to boost the moral of the Allied forces and to allow Steve to go on special missions for the war effort. On one of these special missions to Iceland in 1945, Captain America and his companion from Stars and Stripes, Bucky Barnes, were sent as part of a special regiment to prevent the Nazis and their Chitauri alien allies from launching a hydrogen bomb at Washington. Captain America was successful in disabling the missile, but was lost during the mission and presumed dead. In actuality, Cap had been knocked into the Arctic Ocean and frozen into a block of ice, which, as a side affect of the super-soldier serum, kept Captain America in suspended animation. Cap remained suspended in that block of ice until S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives fished him out of the Arctic Ocean in the year 2002. A now time displaced Captain America decided to continue to serve his country by agreeing to become part of the government sponsored superhero group known as The Ultimates to defend America against the new threat of super powered criminals and terrorists.
