Captain America Steve Rogers is the alter ego of the costumed comic book superhero Captain America. He is the first and most well known of several characters who have carried the name over the years. Captain America was created by writer Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby and was introduced in the pages of Captain America Comics #1, published by Timely Comics in March, 1941. In addition to headlining his own feature title, Captain America has appeared in other superhero-related comics throughout the 1940s and 1950s. With the rebranding of Timely Comics as Marvel Comics, Captain America was re-introduced to comic readers in the 1960s when he brought into the present day in the pages of Avengers #4. He has since gone on to headline several of his own ongoing comic book titles, as well as recurring appearances in various Avengers books. The character has been interpreted in various media including television programs, animated projects and feature films. In 2011, he received his own big budget feature film, Captain America: The First Avenger, where he was played by actor Chris Evans, and he appeared in the 2012 live-action theatrical film version of The Avengers. |
