History[]
Creation[]
In June 1943, Heinz Kruger assassinated Abraham Erskine during the process of transformation of Steve Rogers into the first super soldier. Empowered by the Super Soldier Serum, Rogers chased Kruger through the streets of New York City, capturing him, though he committed suicide with the cyanide pill. The only remaining sample of the Super Soldier Serum was lost, and Chester Phillips decided that Rogers wasn't enough to help the Allies win World War II.[1]
However, some journalists were able to take photos of Rogers' heroic act, and the newspaper report about the mysterious hero caused the renewed interest among the Americans in fighting the Axis. The recruitment offices were overcrowded with volunteers for the United States Armed Forces, and Brandt realized that Rogers could become a symbol for the American spirit during the war. Creating the colorful costume of a masked hero for Rogers to wear, Brandt gave him the opportunity to serve his country by doing fund-raising shows for the war effort. Thus Captain America was born along with his loyal sidekick, Bucky Barnes.[1]

Capitalizing upon Rogers' heroic act as well as the Howling Commandos, the United States Government started publishing comic books about the war actions of Captain America. The cover of the first issue showed Captain America punching the infamous Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler, with his loyal sidekick Bucky and it was quickly sold in thousands of copies. Dressed in a uniform similar to that of Captain America's, Bucky became America's number one sidekick.[1]
