Born during the Great Depression and transformed into a super-soldier as part of a secret military experiment, Steve embodies the American ideal of selflessness.

He often works alongside S.H.I.E.L.D., and his closest allies include Bucky Barnes, whom he views as a brother, and Tony Stark, with whom he frequently butts heads but shares a mutual respect.
