Captain America

          Captain America was created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon who work for Marvel comics. He was first published in the Captain America comics. Captain America's alter ego is Steve Rogers who is a weak young adult, who is enhanced by and experimental serum created to help the United States win World War 2.
         Captain America's most famous time was during the 1940s war time. After the war was over his popularity faded and he was discontinued in the 1950s. He was reinstated in the Sliver Age, as a soldier who was M.I.A, and was woken up from a iceberg. He then went on to lead The Avengers as well as have his own series.
         Captain America was the first one to be developed into a television show. In 1944 movie Captain America. Captain America can also be seen in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and The Avengers (2012), both brought to life by Chris Evens.

POWERS, ABILITIES AND EQUIPMENT 
          Before the serum Steve Rogers had no superpowers, but after he has enhanced strength, speed, fast reflexes, endurance, agility, healing abilities and durability. Steve's body will replenishes the super-solider serum regularly. For it doesn't wear off.
          Rogers' extreme enhancements include being able to, bench press 1200 pounds, and run a mile in 73 seconds. The reason he survived all of those decades in the ice, was because of his enhancements. The formula to create the super-solider was born with and died with Dr.Abraham Erskine. Many have tried to recreated what he did, but all failed. The most notable failure was, of Nuke. Who later goes on to be Captain America's supervillain.
           His most known piece of equipment is his shield, which is made out of adamantium. He uses it as a boomerang, to defend himself. With his skills and reflexes, he can throw it and have it hit multiple targets at once. He also uses a specialized motorcycle, which was modified by S.H.I.E.L.D.
            Because of his experience, his Avenger teammates normally look to him as their leader. Thor even said that he was the only human he would take orders from and follow "through the gates of Hades". Throughout the Marvel universe he is classified as one of the best hand-to-hand fighters.
