Information
Captain America is a fictional character
appearing in American comic books published
by Marvel Comics, created by cartoonists
Joe Simon and Jack Kirby,
the character first appeared in Captain
America Comics #1 (cover dated March 1941)
from Timely Comics, a predecessor of
Marvel Comics,
Captain America was designed as a patriotic
supersoldier who often fought the Axis powers
of World War II and was Timely Comics' most
popular character during the wartime period

the popularity of superheroes waned following
the war and the Captain America comic book
was discontinued in 1950, with a short-lived
revival in 1953,
since Marvel Comics revived the character
in 1964, Captain America has remained
in publication

the character wears a costume bearing
an American flag motif and he utilizes
a nearly indestructible shield which
he throws as a projectile,
Captain America is the alter ego of Steve Rogers,
a frail young man enhanced to the peak
of human perfection by an experimental serum
to aid the United States government's efforts
in World War II,
near the end of the war, he was trapped in ice
and survived in suspended animation until
he was revived in the present day,
although Captain America often struggles
to maintain his ideals as a man out of
his time with its modern realities,
he remains a highly respected figure
in his community which includes becoming
the long-time leader of the Avengers,

Captain America was the first Marvel Comics
character to appear in media outside comics
with the release of the 1944 movie serial,
Captain America,
since then, the character has been featured
in other films and television series,
in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU),
the character is portrayed by Chris Evans
in Captain America: the First Avenger,
the Avengers, Captain America: the Winter Soldier,
Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War,
Spider-Man: homecoming, and the upcoming Avengers:
