Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America is a hero from America. He was one of the famous Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers. He was born in Brooklyn, New York on the fourth of July in 1918. He was born with the name Steven Grant Rogers. This star-spangled man defended America with his whole heart, he wasn’t afraid to take risk for his country, for the people he loved, and for the civilians. He defended people from any dangerous threats. He fought the Nazis and HYDRA in the events of World War II with his star-spangled shield for his country under the extra-governmental military counter-terrorism organization S.H.I.E.L.D. alongside Peggy Carter, Howard Stark from S.H.I.E.L.D. , with a little help from his best friend, Sergeant Bucky Barnes.
Rogers wanted to help his country, so he tried to service in the military. Unfortunately, he was rejected due to all his various health and physical issues. He didn’t give up, and tried using other identities but still ended up rejected. Until a scientist that worked for the government, Dr. Abraham Erskine saw something in Rogers, he had a strong commitment in joining the military. Erskine knew that Rogers was the perfect candidate for his super soldier serum program, which is a program that can make any man that’s injected with that serum to be strong and built.
Rogers then joined the war and attacked multiple HYDRA’s bases to take down HYDRA’s leader, Red Skull and take the Tesseract, one of the six Infinity Stones in the universe that has unlimited energy from HYDRA’s hands.
Red Skull intended to bomb the United States of America with bombs that were stored on board the plane, but Captain America defeated Red Skull. Red Skull was teleported by the Tesseract to another planet. Seeing no other way of landing the plane without detonating the bombs inside, Rogers crashed the plane into the Arctic Ocean in 1945 at the age 27 with himself inside it. 66 years later, Rogers was found frozen by S.H.I.E.L.D. , alive but frozen. Rogers woke up in 2011 with the physical age of 27 but technically 93 and confused with the modern world.
Captain America then helped S.H.I.E.L.D. ‘s director, Nick Fury to defeat Loki and his Chitauri army and take the Tesseract back from Loki’s hands, which Loki has stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D. Captain America accepted Fury’s offer by joining the Avengers and save New York from the Chitauri Invasion. Captain America then defeated Loki and his army in the Battle of New York alongside his other fellow Avengers.
Captain America then found out that the Winter Soldier assassinated Nick Fury. Alexander Pierce, a high-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D blamed Rogers. Rogers and Natasha Romanoff, known as Black Widow then discovered that HYDRA operated secretly as a parasite inside S.H.I.E.L.D. this whole time and they also discovered that the Winter Soldier was Bucky Barnes, Rogers’ best friend. HYDRA turned him into a cold-blooded assassin by brainwashing and ordering Barnes into various missions, such as eliminating anyone who’s seen as a threat to HYDRA. And it turned out that the man who ordered him to assassinate Fury was Pierce. Rogers then ended HYDRA’s parasite alongside Natasha Romanoff, Maria Hill, a High-Ranked S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent and Sam Wilson, the Falcon. Even then, HYDRA wasn’t completely destroyed.
The Avengers had assembled again to eliminate HYDRA agents that were still out there which made Rogers took a break from searching barnes. He joined his other teammates to capture Baron Wolfgang von Strucker and Loki’s Scepter that he took. After the Avengers captured Strucker and the Scepter, the Avengers were dragged into another case. Ultron, the new artificial intelligent program designed by Bruce Banner and Tony Stark, the son of Howard and Maria Stark, tried to wipe out the humanity. Ultron was defeated during the Battle of Sokovia. The Battle of Sokovia caused the death of 177 civilians and $474,000,000,000 in damage which caused the Avengers to disband. Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff stayed to lead the new Avengers with new members even the others left.
The Avengers then went to worldwide missions, but the new member of the Avengers, Wanda Maximoff was blamed for innocent deaths because she failed to contain an explosion that the enemy caused. General Thaddeus Ross used this disaster to write the Sokovia Accords, but Rogers refused to sign the Sokovia Accords. Rogers’ problem increased more when it’s informed that Barnes recently caused a terrorist bombing. Rogers chose to protect his best friend which led to Ross sending Stark to arrest them. Rogers then discovered that Helmut Zemo was the one to blame. Zemo revealed that Barnes murdered Tony Stark’s Parents, Howard and Maria Stark. This caused the Avengers to fell apart and fought each other. They split into 2 sides, Rogers’ side and Stark’s side. Their battle led to the arrest of Rogers’ team. Rogers sent Barnes to Wakanda to gain help from Wakanda’s king, T’Challa who held the Black Panther mantle.
When Thanos, the Mad Titan and the Black Order attacked the Earth to get the last Infinity Stone, the Mind Stone, Rogers and his allies came out of hiding to keep Vision, an android with the Mind Stone safe. Rogers brought him to Wakanda, while half of the Avengers and Black Panther’s army fought Thanos’ army, the Outriders. When Thanos himself arrived on the planet, he defeated everyone there with the power of the Infinity Stones without any effort. Thanos took the Mind Stone from Vision, destroying Vision in the process. After all of the Infinity Stones were in the Mad Titan’s hand, Thanos wiped out half of the population of the universe by a single snap, leaving Rogers and the other survived ones broken hearted.
Months later, Rogers and Stark forgave each other. The survived Avengers assembled and planned to get their revenge and wanted to resurrect the half of the population of the universe. But, it turned out that Thanos used the stones to destroy the stones. Angry, Thor, the God of Thunder, sliced Thanos’ neck with his axe, Stormbreaker.
Five years after the snap, Captain America and the surviving Avengers found a method. They time traveled to various points with the help of the Quantum Realm to get all the Infinity Stones from certain point of time. The Hulk resurrected the lives taken by the snap with the help of the Infinity Stones taken by time traveling, but Thanos and his army from another time came to the time after the Hulk used the Infinity Stones to resurrect lives. Thanos wanted to take the Infinity Stones from the Avengers which caused a war against the Mad Titan and his army. Thanos broke Captain America’s shield into 2 pieces. Surprisingly, Thor’s hammer, Mjølnir went to Rogers’ hand. He wielded it in combat against the Mad Titan. He proofed to the world that he’s worthy of the God’s Mjölnir. But still, Thanos had the biggest army in the universe. Without any other choices, Stark used the Infinity Stones to wipeout Thanos and his army. The Infinity Stones were too powerful for a mortal like him. The Infinity Stones took all of Stark’s powers and energy that led him to his death. After Stark sacrificed his life, Rogers attended Stark’s funeral before traveling back in time to return Mjölnir and the Infinity Stones to their original time and places. After returning the Infinity Stones and Mjölnir, he went to the 1940s to live in the past and married Peggy Carter. Rogers visited Sam Wilson, the Falcon in 2023 and gave Wilson his legendary star-spangled shield.
