5. Rule Breaker
First and foremost, Cap carries the hopes and dreams of America into battle with him. But on occasion, even our Star-Spangled Avenger has been known to break a few laws. He does what he does because he feels in his heart and head that this is the right course of action. Need I remind you of his part in Marvel's Civil War? Instead of joining up with his fellow Avenger and Pro-Registration activist Iron Man, Cap decided to go underground, feeling that the Registration Act was an erosion of civil liberties for the superhero community.
4. Skinny Kid From Manhattan
Before the Super Soldier Serum, Steve Rogers was just a skinny teenager, and both of his parents had passed away. Sickened by the Third Reich's actions, he attempted to enlist in the Army. Steve was turned away for being a scrawny bag of bones. People can relate to Steve Rogers. Having your help turned away because of who you are or what you look like. Fans of Cap know what it feels like to be unwanted.
3. The Horrors Of War
He may be just another superhero to some, but to those of us who know him well, Cap has seen his fair share of death. His parents died before he joined the Armed Forces, but even so, he's still had to deal with seeing fellow soldiers killed and slain in battle. He knows what it's like to lose people he cares about. After all of that, he comes out on the other side, ready to kick even more ass.
2. Back From The Depths
During the last days of WW 2, Cap and his sidekick Bucky were about to stop Baron Zemo from destroying an experimental plane. Zemo planted a bomb on it and when Bucky tried defusing it, it explodes. Both men are presumed dead, Bucky from the explosion, and Cap from his plunge into the ice cold waters of the Arctic. The Avengers found Cap's body nearly 20 years later and the rest is history. The guy was presumed dead, was frozen for almost 2 decades, was found by The Avengers, and has to fit in to the new age. We've all felt that way, Cap fan or not. We're placed in an awkward situation and have to find a way to adapt.
1. He's Captain freakin' America
Lo and behold, we've reached our number 1 reason. And it shouldn't be that much of a shock. He went from a 90 pound weakling to a Super Soldier who wears the Stars and Stripes in his effort to rid the world of evildoers. This guy IS America. I know, people can debate that other heroes stand for the same thing Cap does, but the fact is, Captain America came from the USA. He's a true American hero. He may not be the strongest hero, nor have the ability to fly, but Captain America is a hero to idolize.
Focker=Out!
