Steve Rogers

"The price of freedom is high, but it's a price I'm willing to pay."

--Steve Rogers.

Steve Rogers is the main protagonist of the Avengers series.

Early Life
Steve Rogers was born on July 4, 1918, to Grant and Sarah Rogers in Brooklyn, New York. Steve was a sickly, frail child, leading to his alcoholic father to verbally and physically abuse Steve and his mother.

Adulthood
In his early adult years, Steve enlisted in the US Army to help fight in the war. However, due to his physical frailty, Steve was turned down multiple times. During this time, Steve met war photographer Bucky Barnes.

Becoming Captain America
When Steve was in his mid to late 20's, Steve was found by Dr. Abraham Erkstine--the lead scientist on a super-soldier program. Doctor Erkstine told Steve that he could augment him enough to make him eligible to fight in WWII. Steve agreed, and he went with Doctor Erkstine to be augmented.

After the super-soldier program was a success and Steve had been augmented, Rogers was given a special uniform and a circular shield and was given the title of "Captain America".
