“During World War II, a
“During World War II, a young Steve Rogers tried to enlist into the military, but was turned away due to his frail and sickly body. Steve Rogers was given another chance to serve his country though, as a General overheard his rejection and offers Steve a chance to fight the Nazi’s by being a part of a top-secret experiment. Steve agreed.
Steve was given a super-solider serum and was blasted by radiation. After the process, Steve’s body was no longer sickly and frail but the pinnacle of human perfection. Unfortunately, the plans for the super-soldier serum were lost when a Nazi spy killed the scientist who kept the plans secreted away in his mind. Steve was to be the first and last super soldier.”

How Did Captain America Get His Name?
Steve Rogers was bothered that Hitler was rising in power so he attempts to enlist in the Army only to be rejected because he was in poor shape. U.S. Army General Chester Phillips was looking for test subjects and offered Rogers the chance to serve his country by taking part in a top-secret defense project — Operation: Rebirth. This would create a physically superior soldier. Rogers volunteers for and is chosen as the first human test subject for the Super-Soldier serum. Since this super soldier was representing the US, they decided to name him Captain America.
