An Avenger! And an icon to people everywhere; Captain America is the definition of a true hero! ---Stan Lee
A Marvel superhero created by legendary comic book artists Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.
Captain America, real name Steve Rogers, used to be a skinny, short soldier who was given a serum during World War II that bestowed him with super human physical abilities above the peak of human potential. He is easily identified by his red-white-and-blue superhero costume and similarly designed circular shield which is made of Vibranium, a fictional metal that is rare and can reflect any and all attacks.
He is one of the most recognized members of The Avengers.
