POWERS
Physical Perfection: As a result of his treatment with the Super-Soldier Formula and a stabilizing bath of exotic (for the time) radiation Steve Rogers was elevated from a sickly skinny young man to the pinnacle of human physical and mental perfection.
Hyper-Running: Steve Rogers has Poor rank Hyper-Running, allowing him to run at up to 30 miles per hour (2 areas per turn) without tiring.
Resistance to Toxins and Disease: Due to the Super-Soldier formula that continues to flow through his veins Steve Rogers is highly resistant to the build-up of fatigue poisons in his tissues as a result of physical activity as well as to conventional disease. As such Steve Rogers can be considered to have Monstrous Endurance for purposes of resisting the effects of fatigue and exhaustion, and Amazing Endurance when resisting Disease.
Suspended Animation: Captain America may enter into a state of suspended animation when exposed to conditions of extreme cold with Unearthly ability, as the Super-Soldier formula prevents the crystallization of water in his tissues as well as other forms of tissue damage resulting from extreme cold. This is not a voluntary power and Cap may not choose whether or not to use it as it automatically activates under the appropriate conditions.
LIMITATIONS
The Super-Soldier formula flowing throughout his body will bond with Methamphetamine at a molecular level effectively poisoning Captain America’s blood and requiring a total blood replacement in order to purge the contamination. This will require an extensive physical regimen afterwards in order to remain in peak physical condition for 1d10 weeks until his body has time to regenerate the serum within his bloodstream.
EQUIPMENT
Unique Weapon-Shield: Constructed from an as yet unreproducible blending of vibranium and an unknown steel alloy this 2.5 foot diameter circular shield is one of the most indestructible items ever known, possessing CL3000 material strength and impervious to virtually anything of less than cosmic status or rare powers capable of affecting the molecular bonds that render it so impervious to harm. While no amount of conventional damage can penetrate the shield it cannot block stuns or slams from affecting its wielder nor may it soak up more than Unearthly damage at any given time. It can however allow someone to stand on it while falling and successfully absorb the damage and allow its wielder to escape injury even while falling at terminal velocity. Due to its disk-shaped design and unusual resiliency the shield may be thrown up to three areas and bounced off of multiple targets and return to its wielder’s hand on a successful Yellow feat. It can do up to Remarkable damage when wielded by Captain America based on his current strength, either edged or blunt damage depending on how he chooses to strike with it.
Body Armor: Constructed of a micro-chainmail mesh with an underlying insulating layer and integrated cowl his costume provides Excellent protection from heat and cold, Good against edged attacks, and Typical against blunt and piercing attacks.

HISTORY
Young Steve Rogers was a passionate believer in the American dream in the days leading up to WWII and was one of the first to rush to sign up when the call went out for soldiers, but sadly he lacked the physical fortitude in order to pass the requirements and was rejected by the draft board after his medical exam. For most others this would have been the end but his very vocal pleas to aid his country were heard by an observer that felt he’d be perfect for a secret government program known as Operation: Rebirth. When offered the chance to aid the war effort he quickly jumped at the chance and allowed himself to be subjected to a series of tests and injections with a serum developed by a Jewish scientist and a stabilizing bath of radiation that turned the frail and sickly Steve Rogers into the peak of physical perfection. Unfortunately a German spy succeeded in killing the scientist while the critical information regarding the process was still contained solely within his brain, leaving Steve Rogers as the only successful recipient of the process.
Developing his soon to be iconic costume and carrying a kite shield made of conventional steel he set out to fight the forces of evil and offset the iconic nature of the nazi’s poster child the Red Skull, all while pretending to be a bumbling private in the army. Proving even more successful than the military ever dared dream he was soon gifted by President Roosevelt with the indestructible vibranium/steel alloy disk shield that’s served with him for almost all of his career since then. Unfortunately for him while attempting to stop a last-gasp military missile launch by an old foe, the first Baron Zemo, he was lost in the waters of the arctic and trapped in ice for decades until a chance encounter with a newly-awakened and no longer amnesiac Prince Namor resulted in his ice block being tossed into the ocean where he was recovered by the original Avengers. Restored to new life he quickly took up his shield and returned to fighting for the ideals he held so dear and protecting his country to the utmost of his ability from any threats, inside and out, to its great dream of democracy and respect for all life.
CONTACTS
Captain America can expect virtually any hero or American citizen (and even some villains and non-Americans) to come to his aid when he calls upon them. So great is his ability to lead and inspire only the most heinous of villains can successfully resist his call.
ENEMIES
As one of the greatest and most traveled heroes in the Marvel Universe a list of Captain America’s enemies would be legion, with just a few of the worst being the Red Skull, Adoph Hitler/Hatemonger I, HYDRA, AIM, The Watchdogs, the Sons of the Serpent, and pretty much any organization or criminal out to destroy the fragile dream of America.
PERSONALITY
As the living embodiment of the American Dream Steve Rogers is a devout believer in the cause of freedom and the ideals laid out in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and as such would never seek to lie, cheat, steal, or otherwise infringe on the rights of others. Totally colorblind he judges all people by their actions not by their race, religion, or nationality. Indeed he is often offended by the prejudices of others and will not tolerate it in his presence and will attempt to school the offender whenever possible in the wrongness of their actions. Believing that one man can make a difference he sets the best example he can at all times in hopes of inspiring his fellow man to rise up to his level instead of sinking into the depths and will give his life if that’s what it takes to save lives.
