Captain America: The First Avenger Page #3

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.

He'll be the first.

Of a new breed of super soldiers.

Rogers, get your ass out of that line.

And they, will personally escort Adolph Hitler

Through the gates of hell.

Pick up the pace, sweeties.

Let's go, let's go.

Double time.

Come on, faster, faster.

Move.

Move.

Squad halt.

That flag means you're only at the half way point.

First man to bring it to me,

gets to ride back with Agent Carter.

Move, move!

Come on, get up there.

That's what you got?

This army is in trouble.

Get up there, Hodge.

Come on, get up there.

Nobody's got that flag in seventeen years.

Come on, come on, fall in.

Let's go, get back in formation.

Rogers!

I said, fall in.

Thank you, Sir.

Faster ladies, come on.

My grandmother has more life in her, God rest her soul.

Move it!

You're not really thinking

of picking Rogers, are you?

I am more than just thinking about it.

It is a clear choice.

When you brought a modicum

asthmatic onto my army base.

I let it slide. I thought what the hell.

Maybe he could be useful to you, like a gerbil.

- Never thought you'd pick him.

- Up.

Stick a needle in that kids arm,

it's going to go right through him.

Come on, girls.

Look at that.

He's making me cry.

I am looking for qualities beyond the physical.

Do you know how long it

took to set up this project.

-Yes.

- All the groveling I had to do in front...

...of Senator whats-his-name committees.

Yes, I know. I am well aware of your efforts.

Then throw me a bone.

Hodge passed every test we gave him.

He's big, he's fast.

- He obeys orders, he's a soldier.

- He's a bully.

You don't win wars with niceness, Doctor.

You win wars, with guts.

Grenade!

Oh, no!

Stay away.

Get back.

Phony grenade.

Men, back in formation.

Is this a test?

He's still skinny.

- May I?

- Yeah.

Can't sleep?

Got the jitters I guess.

Oh, me too.

Can I ask you a question?

Just one?

Why me?

I suppose that is the one question that matters.

This is from Augsburg.

My City.

So many people forget that the first

country the Nazi's invaded was their own.

You know after the last war they,

My peoples struggled, they..they..

They felt weak, they felt..

...slow, then Hitler comes along.

With the marching and the big show,

and the flags and all that

And he, hears of me.

My work, and he finds me.

Then he says, you.

He says, you will make us strong.

Well.

I am not interested.

So he sends the head of Hydra.

East research division.

A brilliant Scientist by the name of, Johann Schmidt.

Now Schmidt is a member of the inner circle.

And he's ambitious.

Even Hitler shares his passion for,

occult power and tatanic myth.

Hitler uses his fantasies to inspire his followers.
