Margaret Carter (Earth-9991)

"These are dark and desperate times. I know that some of you are afraid. It's alright. It's perfectly natural. But I want you to know that I am not. I am not afraid to die this day because what we do here is necessary. It may seem impossible, our enemies may appear to be endless, but that doesn't matter. Because there is no one else. Look at me. I believe in an idea, an idea that a single individual who has the right heart and the right mind that is consumed with a single purpose, that one man can win a war. Give that one man a group of soldiers with the same conviction, and you can change the world."

A frail but valiant woman during World War II, Margaret "Peggy" Carter wished to volunteer to serve the US Army, but was rejected duo to her poor health and sexual prejudice. However, she gained the attention of Doctor Johann Krauss, whom gave her the Super Soldier Serum. Enhanced to beyond human physical and mental potential, she became Captain America, fighting against the Axis and HYDRA. After her final mission against the Red Skull on the Artic, which ended with her friend Jason Todd's death, she was left encased in ice for decades, being found and revived by the Justice League in the 21th Century, and eventually becoming the team's leader.

Early Life
Margaret "Peggy" Carter was born on July 4th, 1918 to British immigrants Harry and Amanda Carter in Brooklyn, New York City. Before Peggy was even born, her father was killed in action during World War I by a mustard gas.

Personality
"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole world decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree and tell them — No, you move."
