Even thoughSteve Rogersis most widely consort with his farsighted - clock time alter - egoCaptain America , Marvel Comics confirms that Rogers really had a superhero costume and codename before he became the fan - favourite Super Soldier – well , sort of .

Steve Rogers became the heroic Super Soldier , Captain America , after he volunteered for an experimental procedure that promised to grow him into the ultimate living arm for the Allied Forces against the Nazis . After successfully complete a number of deputation during World War II , Captain America found himself frozen in iceafter he and Bucky Barnes downed a Nazi woodworking plane over the Arctic . Rogers would n’t be found for some time , but when he was , he like a shot signed up to fight alongside the greatest superhero squad in the world at that metre : the Avengers . Captain America chop-chop rise in the ranks to become the leader of the Avengers – a title of respect he would concur for decades to come . From his meter as a soldier during World War II to being the leader of a squad of superheroes , Captain America certainly made a name for himself – all while his ‘ original ’ alter - ego became all but blank out .

InAvenging Spider - Man#5 by Zeb Wells and Leinil Francis Yu , Spider - Man , Captain America , and the remainder of the Avengers are on a mission tocapture the leader of the resurgent Serpent Societyand bring them to justness , but not before most of them gather around and read a comic book together – a comedian that was written and exemplify by none other than Captain America himself . This comedian featured a main character named Roger Stevens who just wanted to grease one’s palms some Liberty Bonds to keep going the United States ’ war efforts , when a no - good rejoinder shop clerk endeavor to sell him counterfeit bonds as he need to spoil Stevens ’ patriotic obligation . So , with the vocalization of his catch phrase , “ Rockets Red Glare ” , Roger Stevens transformed into his superhero alter ego : Sir Spangled , the Human Tank .

Steve Rogers’ First Superhero Alter-Ego was the Unofficial Origin of Captain America

Obviously , Steve Rogers knew what kind of Hero of Alexandria he wanted to be if he ever got the chance , as his fictional character , Sir Spangled , is just aspatriotic and dutiful as Captain America – the only difference is , Sir Spangled is fictional ( comparative to the already fictional world of Marvel Comics ) . In both cases , Rogers ’ alter - ego is a warrior for his country who includes vista of American patriotism in both his costume and personality . Not only that , but Sir Spangled ’s ‘ Human Tank ’ description argue that his superpower is essentially the same as that of Captain America . However , Captain America survived the trial run of time ( even after literally being frozen in an crisphead lettuce ) because he was really out there , stop bad guys and saving the mean solar day , whereas Rogers ’ first heroic theatrical role simply exist in a badly - drawn , ludicrously - drop a line comic Bible – and the thing is , Steve Rogers knows that .

Throughout the upshot , Captain America tells Spider - Man that , while he is n’t mortified by his older comic , he has moved on from it . Steve does n’t want to create a fabricated superhero persona because he became one for real . Carl Rogers live on out the adventures he used to only save about , and he is living them as stuffy to his original vision as possible ( with some much - needed tweaks in terms of name and costume design ) . So , while Steve Rogers technically did have a superhero costume and codename before Captain America , Sir Spangled was more ofan unofficial rootage ofCaptain America – one that provesSteve Rogerswas always meant to be the Italian sandwich he would eventually become .
