Captain America origin story from "summary" of The Marvel Book by DK,Stephen Wiacek
The origin story of Captain America follows the story of Steve Rogers, a brave soldier who is transformed into the world's first superhero after receiving a special serum. With super strength and incredible courage, he fights for justice as the valiant leader of the Avengers.- Following the end of World War II, Captain America eventually stopped actively participating in wartime operations and emerged as a national symbol of patriotism and resilience against fascism.
- Nevertheless, during his time as a superhero, he inspired a new generation of superheroes including Iron Man, Thor and The Hulk. Such superheroes went on to form the Avengers together, serving as Earth’s main defense system against global threats.
- After experimenting with a prototype of the serum, Dr. Erskine declared that "whatever God has blessed us of grace and power is used only for the protection of the weak and helpless". This motivated Rogers to become a symbol of hope for many people, transforming into a patriotic superhero known as Captain America.
- Rogers took on his new identity to fight against oppressive forces such as The Red Skull and other Nazi agents. He was often sent on dangerous missions across Europe to protect innocent civilians from their enemies.
- Steve Rogers was born in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, in 1920 to poor Irish immigrants. In 1940, a freak accident involving an experimental super soldier serum granted him extraordinary technology-assisted strength and near invulnerability.
- Although no longer the active war hero he once was, Rogers remains a strong defender of justice and freedom around the world. As Captain America, he struggles perpetually against evil, but never losing sight of what it truly means to live an honorable life.
