Origin
Born Steve Rogers, he attempted to enlist in the U.S. Army, but was rejected as being physically unfit for duty. He got a second chance from American science, however, due to a combination of a Super-Soldier serum and exposure to Vita-Rays. Becoming the pinnacle of human physical perfection, Captain America battled evil with just two fists and a good, solid shield.
History
Incongruence
Particularly vexing to fans is the multiplicity of the X-Men franchise. Some of their incarnations have include the Uncanny X-Men, Ultimate X-Men, X-treme X-Men, plain X-Men, New X-Men, X-Men:Legacy, and Astonishing X-Men.
