History

Steve Rogers started off as a frail volunteer for scientific experimenting on behalf of the U.S. government. He underwent extensive steroid treatment and training to become Captain America. During World War II he came into battle with Herr Kleiser, who introduced a prototype A-Bomb that was made with alien technology meant to target the white house. However they were too late to stop the bomb from commencing, but Captain America managed to get to the bomb as it launched. In a successful attempt to stop it in mid air, he fell into the sea and was presumed dead.

Years after, the body of Captain America was found in the Arctic Ocean frozen in a block of ice. It was as if he hadn't aged a day. It has yet known whether it was due to cryogenic preservasion or the super soldier serum that prevented him from aging. Initially he thought S.H.I.E.L.D. was a group of Nazi soldiers who had captured him, but eventually realized that he was in a different time. He found out his best friend Bucky Barnes was now married to his fiancée and that all his loved one's were dead.

After catching up to his new era, the Ultimates were faced with the Hulk. Rogers was able to beat the Hulk in hand to hand combat. When he was about to inject the Hulk with the antidote, Hulk made a suprised attack and broke the needle and Hulk then began beating Cap until Thor came to the rescue. After Hulk had reverted back to Banner, Cap knocked him out and had him taken back to the Triskelion.

Captain America soon discovered that his nemesis, Herr Kleiser had survived World War II and was an Alien soldier. This was why he would always seem to survive, Cap saying that he has killed Kleiser "twice". When Kleiser resurfaced, Cap and he resumed their rivalry from 60 years back. When the Hulk was dropped into their battle, Cap convinced Hulk that Kleiser was hitting on Betty, causing Hulk to mutilate then eat Herr Kleiser.

During the Ultimate War the Ultimates are put in battle with the X-Men after Magneto was found alive. In this arc, Cap reveals that when working with the Canadian army, he met a man called "Lucky Jim" Howlett. Lucky Jim was Wolverine. Wolverine earned the nickname because no matter how times he was shot, he still came out alive.

In Ultimates 2, Cap and the Ultimates were under fire from the press and public due to the belief that Thor had revealed that Bruce Banner was indeed the Hulk. In a meeting with Thor, Thor brought up the fact that Captain America killed many people and still goes to church, saying that he's confused with his morals. The Ultimates fought Thor and eventually captured him when his power belt was removed by Quicksilver. From then on the Ultimates became involved in foreign affairs wherein America attempted to control Third World countries' resources.

The Ultimates' actions led to Third World countries forming their own superhuman team, dubbed "the Liberators". Captain America was framed by Black Widow for the assassination of Hawkeye's family and was presumed guilty. He was imprisoned in the Triskellion. When the Liberators attacked, he was freed by the Wasp and defeated the Schizoid Man while escaping the prison. He and the Wasp soon reached the White House where they met with Hawkeye, Nick Fury, the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Cap dueled with his Liberators counterpart, The Colonel and emerged victorious after stabbing the Colonel in the chest with one end of the double-bladed energy sword that the Colonel used.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

The Super Soldier Serum has metabolized and enhanced all of his bodily functions to beyond the peak of human efficiency. Along with the SSS he also received steroid treatments along with hormones. It has been noted that he has been getting weaker in strength and speed, unless he receives daily dosages. Possibly due to not receiving roids/hormones for a stronger reaction with the SSS.

Artificially Enhanced Physiology: Rogers in the mainstream Marvel Universe has no superhuman powers, however, within the Ultimate Universe Captain America frequently exhibits superhuman abilities as a result of the Super-Soldier serum. He is transformed from a frail young man into a "perfect" specimen of human development and conditioning (and likely into superhuman levels). Captain America is extremely intelligent, strong, fast, agile, and durable.

• Enhanced Strength: Captain America's physical strength is enhanced to beyond human potential as he has been able to perform such feats as stopping a very large tree from falling on a group of soldiers and successfully holding it up in its leaning state long enough for the soldiers to get to safety.

• Enhanced Speed: Captain America can run at a speed of approximately 35 miles per hour.

• Enhanced Agility: Captain America's agility is superior to that of any Olympic athlete that has ever competed.

• Enhanced Stamina: Captain America's body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing poisons in his muscles, granting him phenomenal endurance.

• Peak Human Durability: Captain America's ability to resist or recover from injury and disease are superior to those of most ordinary humans. He often jumps out of planes and off of great heights without a parachute and is able to heal broken bones and even severe injuries within days and most lesser injuries within hours. However, he can still be injured in much the same way.

• Disease Resistance: Captain America is highly resistant to most diseases.^[1]
• Alcohol Immunity: Captain America is virtually immune to intoxication by consuming alcohol

• Enhanced Reflexes: Captain America possesses reaction time superior to any Olympic athlete that has ever competed.

None known.

Paraphernalia

Equipment: Captain America's suit is made of a Vibranium breast plate and bulletproof Kevlar. He additionally carries tactical devices and other items that a particular scenario may call for in his utility belt.
Transportation: Captain America has used a specially designed M-1 Abrams Tank in the past, though it was destroyed by the Hulk.
Weapons: Captain America's Shield is his main weapon, being made of Adamantium instead of the Vibranium-steel alloy of his 616 counterpart. Unlike the 616 version, the Ultimate Cap is often seen using guns and seems completely willing to kill his opponents.

The shield has great aerodynamic properties: it is able to slice through the air with minimal wind resistance and deflection of path. Its great overall resilience, combined with its natural concentric stiffness, enables it to rebound from objects with minimal loss of angular momentum. It is for most practical purposes indestructible: it is highly resistant to penetration, temperature extremes, and the entire electromagnetic spectrum of radiation.

Series 8 Ultimate Captain America

In 1940, as America prepared for war, young and frail Steve Rogers volunteered for an experiment that transformed him into the ultimate physical specimen: Captain America. Enhanced by the Super-Soldier Serum, Captain America's agility, strength, endurance and reaction time were superior to those of an Olympic-level athlete. Cap also mastered a number of fighting forms, including American-style boxing and judo. These abilities, combined with his indestructible shield, made him one of the finest human combatants Earth had ever known. Steve Rogers battled the Nazis until a mishap placed him in suspended animation deep within the Himalayan Mountains. Decades later he was discovered by Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. and became a cornerstone of the Ultimates.

In the video game Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the Ultimate version of Captain America appeared. In his simulator disk, Cap had to defeat Winter Soldier and stop him from launching nuclear missiles. -Description from ML packaging
