Brief Comic History:
Captain America is a superhero that appears in Marvel Comics. The character's first appearance is in Captain America Comics #1 (March 1941). He was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Captain America's alter ego is Steve Rogers, Rogers was a sickly young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that has an American flag motif, he has an indestructible shield which he uses defensively and offensively.
Live CBM History:
(1944)
Captain America's first foray into live media was in 1944, he was the first Marvel Comics character adapted into another medium. In this portrayal his alter ego is a district attorney named Grant Gardner, the serial removes many important elements of the character, such as his trademark shield and his sidekick Bucky Barnes.
(1979)
The character next reappears in two (2) TV Movies that aired on CBS title Captain America and Captain America II: Death too soon. The character differs significantly from the comics in both his origin and his operations. For instance, Steve Rogers is a character in contemporary times whose father was a 1940s government agent. The very patriotic attitude of Steve's father earned him the nickname Captain America, and his father is spoken of as having been murdered. Rogers, a former Marine now making what little living he makes as an artist, was inspired by this story to sketch a super-hero. After receiving potentially fatal injuries in an accident, he was administered an experimental chemical called the FLAG—Full Latent Ability Gain—formula (at one point referred to as a "super-steroid") which not only saves his life but also enhances his body with heightened strength and reflexes.
(1990)
The 1990 film Captain America, stars Matt Salinger, and the movie was shot in Yugoslavia. It depicted the creation of Captain America from weak soldier Steve Rogers, his fight in World War II and subsequent apparent death, his being found decades later frozen in ice, and his realization and comprehension that our enemies from the war are now our allies, as well as the hero's battle against the Red Skull, who in the film is an Italian fascist rather than a German Nazi.
