President Roosevelt institutes top-secret program "Project Rebirth." Dr. Erskine gives army 4F reject and volunteer Steve Rogers the "Super-soldier serum," which turns him into a virtual superman. A Nazi spy murders Erskine before he can create an army of men like Rogers. Rogers becomes the costumed Captain America, as a symbol of freedom, and begins a career of smashing spy rings and the like. He also goes undercover as a buck private at Camp Lehigh. When Bucky Barnes discovers Steve's double-identity, he becomes Cap's partner.
