20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Captain America

Captain America has been serving his country since before Marvel Comics took that name, and he's remained a staple of their universe ever since debuting in 1941. By rights, a character with a name like that probably should never have worked, but as the success of Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier prove, people can accept the daftest of superheroes when the man beneath the mask is a great one. And that's what Steve Rogers is. An inherently good person who always does what's right, and not just for his country. He's someone everyone can look up to and aspire to be, and it's for that very reason that Captain America has become a symbol both in the real world and in the Marvel Universe. With a 70+ year history, though, there's a lot you don't know about Cap! He's had some wacky adventures over the years and come face to face with threats no other hero has. His journey to becoming the Captain America comic book fans all know and love today also took a rather unexpected path, while he's undergone some transformations - both of the wolf and Superman variety - which you just need to see to believe...
