Captain America is a superhero who first appeared in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artistJack Kirby, and first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (cover-dated March 1941), from Timely Comics, the predecessor of Marvel Comics. Captain America was designed as a patriotic supersoldier who often fought the Axis powers of World War II and was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. The character's origin is unique among superheroes in that Captain America gains his abilities through an experimental serum rather than through supernatural means.
After the war ended, Captain America fell out of print until 1954, when the newly formed Marvel Comics revived the character in the superhero team comic The Avengers. Since then, Captain America has appeared in numerous books, television shows, films, and video games. The character was also ranked as the fifth greatest comic book hero of all time by IGN.
Captain America is an enduring and iconic figure in popular culture, and his shield is one of the most recognizable symbols in comics. The character has been played by a number of actors in live-action film and television, most notably by Chris Evans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
