'''Captain America''' is a character from comic books published by Marvel Comics, created in 1941 by cartoonists Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Originally conceived as a patriotic superhero who fights the Axis Powers during World War II, Captain America is the alter-ego of '''Steve Rogers''', a physically weak college-age student who volunteered to enlist in USA's Armed Forces. He was selected as a subject in the army's super-soldier program, which cured his sicknesses and transformed him into a man possessing peak physical condition. Cap's signature weapon is a shield, initially shaped like a heater shield before being replaced with the now-iconic circular design, made of vibranium and thus near-indestructible. |

In the present day however, the superhero is mostly known for his incarnation in the ''Marvel Cinematic Universe'' /tv/ installments (portrayed by [[Wikipedia:Chris Evans (actor)|Chris Evans]]), where he serves as the leader of the Avengers. |

Captain America is one of the most popular superheroes of all time because of his pure patriotic energy. He first appeared in [[Mr. /co/lympus 2018]] as one of the best-seeded comic characters, advancing all the way into the finals where he was defeated by [[Johnny Bravo]]. However, Cap's run became discredited by many anons as he was revealed to have been personally supported by the tournament host himself, causing some users to accuse the host of rigging the contest in favor of the superhero. As a result, Cap was essentially declared a "persona non grata" in subsequent [[Mr. /co/lympus]] editions, and is yet to make a return to the main bracket since then. |
