It has yet to be revealed whether it was due to cryogenic preservation or the super soldier serum that prevented him from aging. Years after, the body of Captain America was found in the Arctic Ocean frozen in a block of ice. In a successful attempt to stop it in mid air, he fell into the sea and was presumed dead. However they were too late to stop the bomb from launching, but Captain America managed to get to the bomb as it is launched. He would later come into battle with Herr Kleiser, who introduced a prototype A-Bomb that was made with alien technology meant to target the White House.

The experiment's dead body then fell on Arnim Zola, seemingly killing him. During one mission Captain America was able to infiltrate Arnim Zola's facility and kill his first experimental monster, which Zola dubbed "Siegsoldat" ("Victory soldier"). įor the next three years, he underwent numerous covert operations, often accompanied by Bucky, now a war photographer, and sometimes alongside James "Lucky Jim" Howlett. Fully committing himself to the American war efforts, Rogers bid farewell to his sweetheart Gail Richards, becoming Captain America. Nearly sabotaging the entire experiment, Rogers stopped him, but not before the spy murdered Doctor Erskine and a few American soldiers who attempted to stop him. The shady man revealed himself as a Nazi spy sent to murder Rogers in the event he survive the entire experiment. During the final treatment however, he noticed a suspicious soldier focusing on him instead of standing guard. After voluntarily subjecting to surgery, steroid treatments, and other experimental treatments supervised by Doctor Erskine, Rogers became the first genetically-enhanced super-soldier.

His luck changed during another visit to Recruitment Center when Military Sergeant Dugan recruited him for Project: Rebirth after hearing Rogers' pleas. Refusing to work at the factories, he reattempted enlistment several times. However, because of failing the physical test, he was rejected. Horrified by newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the Army around the time the United States entered World War II. Steve Rogers grew up in Brooklyn during the Great Depression, a scrawny kid protected from neighborhood bullies by his best friend "Bucky" Barnes.
