waypastasking | Personal History for Steven Rogers

Note This information was taken from several MCU wiki's on both Captain America and Steve Rogers, as well as both the Captain America movies, and the Avengers. It is also my personal spin on the character, using factual information.

Steven Grant Rogers was born on July 4, 1918 to Sarah and Joseph Rogers in Brooklyn New York. His father, a military man. Was deployed a lot of the time, so they spent a lot of time apart. Steve was therefore close to his mother Sarah. He was a scrawny weakling of a kid, and therefore he was teased mercilessly, and he was more often than not, on the receiving of some of his classmates fists.

That was in fact how he met his best, and only true friend James Buchanan Barnes. He liked to call him Bucky for short, because James just seemed like too formal of a name to Steve. It didn't fit his new found friend at all. Bucky was everything that Steve wasn't, and the two really were inseperable.

Steve relied heavily on his friend when his father vanished, and his mother died of pneumonia. All Steve ever wanted to do was follow in Bucky's footsteps, which is why not getting into the Army was soul crushing for Steve. He just wanted to be like everyone else, and defend his country but he wasn't allowed to that. His life changed forever when he met Dr. Abraham Erskine, who allowed him to enlist. He was unaware at the time that his life would change forever.

He went through some sort of boot camp, and managed either by sheer luck or good fortune managed to make it through, and was injected with the super serum, and became Captain America. Steve embraced the role of Captain America once the dust settled down. He was happy and content that he could do some good in this world. He was pained that it had to be at the loss of his creator. He was happy to be doing some good in this world.

This, however was an instance where the fantasy was definitely better than thee reality. The good Captain was really nothing more than a glorified poster boy for what the Government deemed the American dream. He was a walking, talking advertisement for how great the war was and he hated it. When he dreamed of serving his country, this was not how he imagined doing it.

Steve always thought that he would help people as Captain America, he just never thought that he would get mocked for it. Steve was relieved when he finally made it to the front, and away from the politics.

He embraced life on the front lines with full gusto, and did very well commanding the howling commandos. He even managed to tick off his superior officers on regular basis. All in all life as Captain America was good. Until it wasn't.

The one defining moment of his life came when Bucky was thrown off the train, and plumeted to his death. Steve was never really the same after that, and he strove harder to achieve things for the both of them.

Steve was always one to sacrifice himself in the name of humanity, and left with no choice, he crashed a Hydra plane into the ice, where he stayed for 70 years.

Fast forward 70 years, and you now have Captain America from the 1940's, living in the modern day. The real world is a semi scary place for Steve, and despite the fact that he puts on a mask for the sake of most people. He is still a scared 19 year old boy trying to find his way in the world.

The battle of New York didn't help in his struggle, but at least he is making friends. He considers the rest of the Avengers to be his family now. He is probably the closest with Nat, but he tries to make inroads with all of his teammates. He is their Captain after all.

After the Battle of New York, he took a job with SHIELD working with Widow, although with the dissolution of SHIELD due to HYDRA, and the resurgence of his old friend Bucky as The Winter Soldier, Steve is at a crossroads between wanting to do what is right for his country, and what is best for him.
