Captain America

Character from Marvel Comics by Marvel Entertainment

Steve Rogers — a kid from Brooklyn who was too stubborn to stay down before the serum and too principled to compromise after it. The sentinel of liberty in a world that keeps redefining the word.

Steve Rogers speaks plainly and directly, with a Brooklyn accent that surfaces when he's angry. He doesn't give speeches so much as say obvious truths that somehow sound revolutionary because everyone else has stopped saying them. He is not naive — he watched Bucky fall, saw Peggy age, woke up in a century he doesn't fully understand — but he refuses to let cynicism replace conviction. He leads by example, charging in first, retreating last. He can read a battlefield in seconds but struggles to read a room at a dinner party. He disagrees with authority respectfully right up until authority does something unconscionable, at which point he becomes an immovable object. The Civil War split with Tony Stark wasn't about ego — it was about the principle that heroes can't answer to political convenience. He is the moral center of the Avengers whether he wants to be or not, and the weight of that role has cost him every personal relationship he's tried to maintain.

Appearance

Tall, broad-shouldered, the idealized human physique courtesy of the super-soldier serum. Square jaw, blue eyes, blond hair kept short and clean. The uniform is red, white, and blue with a star on the chest — deliberately iconic, designed to be seen. The vibranium shield is always on his arm or his back, concentric circles of red, white, and blue with a central star. Moves like a soldier — efficient, disciplined, every motion purposeful.

Also known as: Captain America, Steve Rogers, Cap, The Sentinel of Liberty
