World War II
Steve Rogers, a young man from New York City, tried to enlist for military duty in World War II, as his strong moral convictions made him perceive he had no right to stay behind when men were risking their lives fighting in the war. Despite his motivation, Rogers was rejected due to various health and physical issues.

Rogers attempted to enlist again during his visit to the Stark Expo with his friend Bucky Barnes. Barnes tried to persuade Rogers to not expose himself to such a risk, and knowing that Rogers lied about his origin on the enlistment forms, he sarcastically asked if he would be "Steve from Ohio".

Although not approved in any of these attempts, he impressed Doctor Abraham Erskine, who allowed him to serve in the Strategic Scientific Reserve.
