Captain America: The First Avenger Page #2

Synopsis: It is 1942, America has entered World War II, and sickly but determined Steve Rogers is frustrated at being rejected yet again for military service. Everything changes when Dr. Erskine recruits him for the secret Project Rebirth. Proving his extraordinary courage, wits and conscience, Rogers undergoes the experiment and his weak body is suddenly enhanced into the maximum human potential. When Dr. Erskine is then immediately assassinated by an agent of Nazi Germany's secret HYDRA research department (headed by Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. the Red Skull), Rogers is left as a unique man who is initially misused as a propaganda mascot; however, when his comrades need him, Rogers goes on a successful adventure that truly makes him Captain America, and his war against Schmidt begins.

So.

You want to go overseas.

Kill some Nazis.

Excuse me.

Doctor Abraham Erskine.

I represent a Strategic scientific research.

Steve Rogers.

Where are you from?

Queens.

Before that, Germany.

This troubles you?

No.

Where are you from, Mr. Rogers?

Hmm?

Is it, New Haven?

Or, Paramus?

Five exams in five different...

It might not be the right file.

It's not the exams I'm interested in.

It's the five tries.

But you didn't answer my question.

Do you want to kill Nazis?

Is this a test?

Yes.

I don't want to kill anyone.

I don't like bullies.

I don't care where they're from.

Well, there are already so many

big men fighting this war.

Maybe what we need now is a little guy.

Huh?

I can offer you a chance.

Only a chance.

I'll take it.

Good.

So where is the little guy from?

Actually.

Brooklyn.

Congratulations.

Soldier.

Are you ready, Doctor Zola?

The machine requires the most delicate calibration.

Forgive me if I seem over cautious.

Are you certain that those combatants of yours

...can withstand the energy surge,

...long enough for a transference?

With this artifact.

I am certain of nothing.

I fear it may not work at all.

Twenty percent.

Forty.

Sixty.

Stabilizing at seventy percent.

I have not come all this way,

...for safety, Doctor.

What was that?

I must congratulate you, Arnim.

Your designs does not disappoint.

Though they may require

some slight reinforcement.

Nothing has changed, it's stable.

Amazing.

The energy patch, you called it,

equipped all my designs.

All my designs.

This will change the war.

Don't think so, Zola.

This will change the world.

Recruits, attention!

Gentlemen, I'm Agent Carter.

I supervise all operations for this division.

What's with the accent, Queen Victoria?

Thought I was signing up for the U.S. army.

What's your name, soldier?

Gilmore Hodge, your majesty.

Step forward, Hodge.

Put your right foot forward.

We gonna wrestle?

'Cause I gotta a few moves I know you'll like.

Agent Carter.

Colonel Phillips.

I can see that you are breaking

in the candidates, that's good.

Get your ass up out of that dirt,

..and stand up in that lineup at attention until,

- ...somebody comes and tells you what to do.

- Yes, Sir.

General Patton.

Has said.

"War's are fought with weapons

but they are won by men."

We are going to win this war, because...

...we have the best men.

And because they're gonna get better.

Much, better.

The Strategic Scientific Reserve.

Is an allied effort.

Made up with the best minds of the free world.

Our goal.

Is to create the best army in history.

But every army starts with one man.

Rogers! Get up from there.

At the end of this week, we will chose that man.
