Steven Rogers (Earth-1955)

"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."

Steven "Steve" Grant Rogers was a frail but valiant street boy during World War II, who alongside his best friend Winter Soldier wished to volunteer to serve the United States Army, but was rejected duo to his poor health and short stature. However, he gained the attention of Doctor Abraham Erskine, whom gave him the Super Soldier Serum. Enhanced to beyond human physical and mental potential, he became Captain America, fighting against the Axis and the HYDRA, led by Red Skull who wished to unleash the power of the Tesseract. After his final mission against the Red Skull on the Artic, he was left encased in ice for decades, being found and revived by the Justice League in the 21st Century, and eventually becoming their leader.
