Captain America: First Vengeance

Captain America: First Vengeance is a eight part digital comic book set during the events of Captain America: The First Avenger written by Fred Van Lente.

Part I
It starts with Captain America parachuting into Nazi-occupied Danish Straits in April, 1944. The story jumps back to 1924 where a young Steve Rogers is speaking to Sarah Rogers, his mother, before she dies of tuberculosis that very day. The story then goes to 1930 where Rogers is getting beaten up by a band of bullies before a boy turns up and saves him. The boy introduces himself as "Bucky" Barnes and the two become best friends. Back in 1941 Rogers and Barnes are at a painting class when a man comes in and tells them that they are at war with Germany. Barnes agrees to train Rogers to get him ready to enlist. After his training they both go to enlist where Barnes is enlisted but Rogers is told he his unfit for service. He tells Bucky that he is going to get a "second opinion".

Part 2
In 1944 Rogers is fighting a HYDRA Exo-skeleton battlesuit that Arnim Zola designed while being lectured on his powers by Schmidt. Back in February, 1934, in the Deutsches Opernhaus, Schmidt is attending a performance as well as Adolf Hitler and Ernst Kaufmann. Schmidt approaches Hitler and expresses his interest in Norse mythology at which Hitler tells Kaufmann to arrange a lunch between them. Kaufmann takes Schimdt outside and threatens him not to go near Hitler again. Schmidt is then approached by Heinrich Himmler, head of the S.S. who asks him if they can have a talk. Later that year in June, Kaufmann is swimming in a hotel in Bavaria when Schmidt approaches him and tells him that for him it is the Night of the Long Knives and that he will be taking over Kaufmann's weapons program. Schmidt then proceeds to kill him. Back in 1944 Rogers has defeated the HYDRA Exo-skeleton when Schmidt sends out a HYDRA Light Armored Vehicle to finish him off asking Rogers how well made he really is. In July, 1934 Schmidt's men are attacking an S.A. facility in Kummersdorf. He enters a room where he meets Dr. Zola and tells him to stop working on exo-skeleton technology and tells him he is to make the man himself into a weapon to which Zola agrees. In 1935 Dr. Abraham Erskine is travelling to Geneva because his family is descended from Jews. Schmidt stops the train and tells him that he will help make the Super Soldier Serum or he will kill his family to which Erskine reluctantly agrees.
