Captain America has been fighting for the red, white and blue for over 60 years. An enduring symbol of freedom and liberty, the patriotic super soldier is the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a rejected World War II army recruit who transformed himself into America’s one-man-army with a dose of Uncle Sam’s experimental serum. With a body that performs at the peak of human efficiency, Captain America, like his trademark shield, is virtually indestructible.
