In Stan Lee’s reinvention of the character, Cap is thought dead when he foiled a Nazi missile launched at Washington DC. Instead the character has fallen into the freezing Atlantic Ocean where instead of drowning or dying of hypothermia he is instead frozen alive in a block of solid ice, only to be revived twenty years or so later.
Strangely enough Lee did nothing more with Cap’s Buck Rogers-type resurrection than turn the character into yet another brooding and moody Marvel superhero. No “fish out of water” stuff as Rogers suddenly has to cope with stuff such as social changes, new technology and the like. After all, when Cap took a dive into the Atlantic Glenn Miller topped the charts and when he came back it was The Beatles . . .
After the war, the character's popularity and he was effectively retired. March but the character in 1964 was successfully revived by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby once again to provide work of art. Captain America (or just plain cap) meek and sickly Steve Rogers, who in the U.S. Army for military service on medical grounds was rejected.Instead of a top secret by the U.S. Army "supersoldier" serum to the program voluntarily and successfully sample a physical super fit and strong (the program referred to the Incredible Hulk all the way all changed when Tim Roth superstrong Added Hasany to help fight the Hulk) had changed.
But before the superhero in serum can be used to turn the U.S. military, the serum lost the formula when the scientist responsible for it is killed by a Nazi spy. (What? He didn’t keep any notes?) With only one super-soldier at its disposal, the US military does the best it can and turns Rogers into Captain America, a propaganda figurehead for the war effort against the Nazis.Cue several adventures leading US soldiers invading Normandy during D-Day along with Cap fighting secret Nazi agents led by the nefarious Red Skull, a Nazi mastermind super-villain and his arch nemesis.
