Steve Rogers was the first ever super soldier created in the 1940s. After helping defeat the Red Skull, Rogers crashed a plane into the water and was found many years later. Back in the 1940s, Rogers drew close to Peggy Carter, but the age difference caused by the crash is too much for them now. Rogers has trained in many different areas of combat.
