I got way too many requests for The Avengers, so I thought I’d have some fun with it.

And you’re probably thinking: “YOU’RE DISCRIMINATING WHERE IS HULK OR BLACK WIDOW OR ARROW GUY OR WHATEVER.” I’m really tired. I only have time for three. Enjoy this and maybe I’ll get to rest of them one day.
it must be hurt to be loki
it seems jeremy told chris a very funny story
If I printed these on shirts, would you guys buy them?
Whatever happens tomorrow you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.
Captain America: All right, listen up! Until we can close that portal up there, what we need is containment. BARTON: I want you on that roof, eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. STARK: you’ve got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash. THOR: you’ve gotta try and bottleneck that portal, slow them down. You’ve got the lightning - light the bastards up! [turns to BLACK WIDOW] You and me: we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here. and HULK….. SMASH!! >:))
This from the latest Avengers: Roll Call (I might add some of the other Avengers later)
Things I wanted to point out/discuss/or go into detail.
Nicknames:
The Captain, Nomad (Man without a Country), Commander Rogers and Super-Soldier are some of the titles Steve has taken while he wasn’t Captain America.
Roger Grant, Anthony Schwarz, Steven Rogers, Brett Hendrick, and Buck Jones - These are aliases he has used while going undercover. Roger Grant he used in Captain America #356, Anthony Schwarz in Captain America #304, Roger Stevens(the not-so clever alias he uses while going to Providence undercover) in Cable & Deadpool #25, Brett Hendrick (his secret identity as a mall security guard) in Civil War, and Buck Jones in Captain America vol 3 #23.
Sentinel of Liberty - This is just another title he gets kind of like how Spidey has “web-slinger” or “wall-crawling menace” or Thor has “God of Thunder”. Another title that Steve gets is Star-Spangled Avenger and Shield Slinger, Living Legend of WWII
Subject 223 and Brooklyn Project - Subject names given to him in relation to Project Rebirth.
Steven Grant Rogers - This one is an interesting story that I plan to cover more later in this blog. But before Steve got his “just a kid from Brooklyn” origin, he had another origin. In Captain America #225 Steve had amnesia and didn’t recall his first 18 years of life, so he seeks a Professor named Mason Harding for help. Harding uses a machine that breaks through the veil over his memories and Steve recalls having a childhood in Maryland as Steven Grant Rogers, son of diplomat Walter Rogers and Elizabeth Rogers and younger brother to Michael Rogers who died in Pearl Harbor (which causes Steve to enlist). This didn’t sit well with the fans (especially since Steve was very anti-military before his brother’s death) not to mention it went against the Kirby and Simon canon which had Steve enlist before Pearl Harbor. In the end this origin turned out to be false memories implanted in Steve’s brain by the government so he wouldn’t spill government secrets.
Grant is not his middle name, it was all fake.
Lord of the Frozen Ice - Given to him by an Inuit Tribe after they found Steve while he was still frozen.
Blondie - Yay! Blind Al/Steve is still canon!
Rembrandt - What his soldier buddies use to call him, because he was an artist :)
Yeoman America - (I am too lazy to explain this one and it had its own article).
Not mentioned:Winghead -This is because Steve’s cowl has little wings sprouting from it :P. I think this was first coined by Tony (not sure) and it was used by him as a term of endearment towards Steve (and Steve called him Shellhead). It was used by Clint and other heroes as well (BTW Marvel loves giving their heroes “___head” nickames example: Spidey=webhead, Daredevil=hornhead, Johnny Storm=flamehead, and Wolverine=canucklehead)
Methuselah - What Hawkeye calls him (or used to in the old days). According to wiki it means “Man of the dart/spear”, or alternatively “his death shall bring”. In the Hebrew bible Methuselah was a biblical patriarch said to have lived 969 years. It is also a noun that was used to refer to men who were really, really, really old. At first Clint uses it mockingly but he ends up using it affectionately (but he rarely uses it nowadays).
Relatives:
Unborn child - Steve and Sharon’s unborn child. After Steve died, and Faust did his mind-whammy on Sharon and was holding against her will, Sharon and the bad guys find out that she was pregnant with Steve’s baby. The Red Skull plans to transfer his conscious into the unborn baby but then Sin attacks Sharon and during the fight Sharon loses the baby (it is heavily implied that she stabbed herself and self-aborted her child to prevent the Red Skull from using him). It was a really sad story D: and I kind of wanted Bru to follow up on it (because he did all that and put Sharon through so much and now it is just forgotten and it’s like nothing happened because Faustus made her forget, and I can’t help but think what was the point?!). But seriously that whole thing just bummed me out.
Sarah Rogers - I have tag
Joseph Rogers - I have a tag too but it’s nothing you can’t find in the Sarah Rogers tag. We don’t know much about Joseph except that he was an alcoholic and that Steve barely remembers him. We don’t get much about Steve’s opinion of his father, except that he loved him and focused on his good memories of him but he also remembered seeing Joseph drunk and that impacted him negatively. I will probably do more posts about Joseph in the future but there’s not much to him as there is about Sarah Rogers (it doesn’t help that Steve doesn’t remember much and therefore there isn’t a lot of material).
Unidentified Grandfather - Who? Wha? What? Someone give me infooooooo!
Steven Rogers - He has his own article, also his story kind of conflicts with the whole Sarah Rogers and Joseph Rogers being Irish Immigrants thing. I seriously thought this wasn’t canon anymore, huh….
Education: One year of art school! BTW it is canon that Steve lived off grants by doing jobs for the Work Progress Administration and being a free lance artist.
Cap is also fluent in multiple languages: All I know is he talks English and German, probably learned French while he was with Peggy. I vaguely remember hearing him using Spanish but not sure…
With maximum exertion he can run 30 mph and lift 800 lbs: Usain Bolt is so far the fastest man in human record, he ran around 28 mph in 100-meter sprint in Beijin 2008 and I know some of the strongest men have been recorded to lift around 1000 pounds (but can only maintain it for a few seconds). The serum is suppose to make Steve into the pinnacle of human physical potential, so that seems about right for him.
