{{Tab}}When the US entered WWII, Steve tried to enlist in the Army with Bucky but was rejected repeatedly because of his poor health and small stature. He finally caught the attention of Dr. Erskine of the Strategic Science Reserve, an was recruited as a subject in an experimental supersolider program codenamed Project Rebirth. After a brief but grueling procedure, Steve was transformed from the proverbial 90lb weakling to what the military of the time considered the ideal soldier: 6'2" and 240lb of solid muscle. However, with the untimely assassination of Dr. Erskine, the formula of the supersoldier serum was lost, leaving Steve its sole beneficiary. | {{Tab}}When the US entered WWII, Steve tried to enlist in the Army with Bucky but was rejected repeatedly because of his poor health and small stature.

{{Tab}} | {{Tab}}Though initially sent on a USO circuit portraying a character named Captain America, he proved his worth as a warrior and a leader when he mounted a solo rescue operation to liberate 400 POWs (including Bucky), destroying the secrete Nazi research lab where they were held. After that, he was given free rein by the Army to assemble his own special operations team: the Howling Commandos. For the remainder of the war they took on the most elusive and elite of Nazi special forces, often going deep behind enemy lines for long periods of time. On one such mission in the winter of 1944, Bucky was lost and presumed dead. | ||
{{Tab}}In late March of 1945, the Howling Commandos infiltrated an R&D facility in Norway, but the immense protoype bomber housed there took off before they could destroy it. Steve boarded the plane and fought his way to the cockpit, but then realized the aircraft was too big and its payload too volatile to land safely. In order to keep the monstrous craft away from inhabited areas, he steered it into the arctic ocean. Captain America was declared killed in action hardly more than a month before V-E Day. | {{Tab}}In late March of 1945, the Howling Commandos infiltrated an R&D facility in Norway, but the immense protoype bomber housed there took off before they could destroy it.

{{Tab}}Steve is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant, and not solely on the merits of his experimentally achieved abilities. He is actually a very talented haptic learner and gains proficiency in physical tasks very rapidly. His close-quarters fighting style is a mix of bare-knuckles boxing and various martial arts that he encountered during his years of service, and makes heavy use of improvised weapons. Though he has a particular fondness for fighting with targe shields, he is proficient with a variety of bladed weapons and firearms as well. | {{Tab}}Steve is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant, and not solely on the merits of his experimentally achieved abilities.

{{Tab}}He has both an innate talent for and extensive practical experience with small unit tactics. In this regard his specialty is guerilla warfare, or other long-term missions with minimal logistical support and no supply lines.

He is also a self-taught illustrator with a particular knack for sketching people in motion. | ||
