Captain America is a super hero featured in modern American comics published by Marvel Comics as part of the line of comic books. Created by comic book artist Joe Simon and illustrator Stan Lee, the super hero first appeared in Captain America Comics#1 from Timely Comics, an early successor of Marvel Comics. The comic book version of the character was made iconic by Steve Roger’s classic comic series. The Avengers: United States vs. Avengers concept later expanded into several different storylines, including Secret Invasion and the Ultimate Universe. In the modern era, Captain America has been given his own solo comic book series in which he continues to be a member of the Avengers. Also, in the last ten years, Steve Rogers has become a founding member of the board of directors.
Cap is a quintessential super hero due to his incredible strength, durability, and technological expertise. He is a highly trained specialist, and was naturally born with exceptional abilities. After the fall of the Avengers, however, Captain America pursued a solitude as he sought to hone his skills, both physically and mentally. He also took on the persona of a symbol of hope for the Allied forces during World War II and was often seen fighting alongside the United States troops. Cap’s most well-known team mate is Bucky Barnes, who also possesses similar training and abilities.
Cap is known to have membership among the Avengers, which consists of many diverse heroes. The Avengers were formed to oppose the villains Magneto, Dr. Curtains, and Quicksilver, among other Avengers. They constantly fight against villains, while trying to maintain peace within the world. The Avengers also battle super villains such as the Kang Dynasty, Dark Helmet, and Deathlok. Cap is also a founding member of the X-Men, an international superhero team. The team consists of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, and Storm.
Cap’s skills and capabilities made him a perfect candidate to become the leader of the Avengers. However, despite his skills and training, Cap didn’t enjoy leading the team. He was repeatedly rebuffed by Iron Man, leading to his apparent departure from the team. During this time, however, he gained respect from Wakanda’s King Tiger and went on to become the fourth member of the Avengers. He also formed a romantic relationship with Wanda, who also had a close relationship with Dr. Bruce Banner.
After the death of Cap, Wanda became the leader of the Avengers, and the comic book series ended with the team numbering five. Following the Civil War, however, Cap was badly injured in battle. He spent the next four years recuperating from his wounds while serving as a recruiter for S.H.I.E.R. The conflict prompted Captain America to start a new identity, and he was subsequently discovered and captured by the villain Doctor Doom. After the events of the Civil War, Cap was offered a cure for his paralysis, but declined the offer, revealing that he still loved Wanda.
The comic book series ended after the Civil War, and Cap took off solo. He traveled around the world, joining the Avengers and other teams until he returned to prominence. Following a skirmish with the Hulk, he was nearly killed by the Madman, but he was saved by Hawkeye. Hawkeye told Cap that he could have killed him, but since he loved Wanda, he did not. Cap returned to the Avengers and remained a founding member until the New Avengers series. Currently, he is one of the founding members of the comic book organization, the Avengers.
