BackgroundBorn July 4th in 1920, Steve Rogers was the child of poor Irish immigrants, Sarah and Joseph Rogers. He had a frail youth, however, a strong sense of duty and honor. Soon, however, his father died and when he grew up to his teens, his mother died of pneumonia. When World War II broke out, Steve was alone. And seeing how the Nazis were destroying Europe made him feel like he needed to do something. When he tried to attend the military, though, he was rejected due to his frail body and sickly nature. Hearing about the boy's attempt, General Chester Phillips decided to talk to him about the experiment known as Project Rebirth. Steve accepted the offer and after weeks of tests, he was finally administered with the Super-Soldier Serum. His body and mind grew much more powerful and he was deemed as successful. However, a Nazi spy killed the doctor responsible for the project, leaving Steve as the only Super-Soldier ever developed during World War II. He immediately began training, both physical and mental, as his mind was being filled with false information in case of being captured by the enemy. He was being stuffed with info such as him having a brother and it would take until much later in his life that he remembered the truth. He was given the legendary white, blue and red costume alongside the disc-shaped shield made of Vibranium. He soon met a friend, Bucky Barnes and the two became inseparable friends during the War. On their last mission, however, Bucky was presumed dead when the two tried to stop a bomb-armed plane drone. The two fell into the freezing Arctic waters and the Captain was frozen solid, due to the Super-Soldier Serum protecting his bodily fluids from crystallization. Years and years later, Steve was discovered by the superhero team named Avengers. When they put him on a table, discussing what they should do with him, he burst out of the block of ice. Confused and scared, he soon met Nick Fury, the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury reminded Rogers of his WWII past and after some time of getting used to the modern times, he was accepted as the leader of the Avengers.

Can react to his own Shield thrown at him and react to Hawkeye's arrows.), Durability: Multi-City Block Level (Scaling from his own feats, and also Deadpool and Wolverine), Multi-Galaxy to Universe Level with Shield (His shield is made of a highly resistant Proto-Adamantium/Vibranium metal, allowing it to endure the full-power of Thor without damage. His shield has since been repaired after it was broken in the storyline Fear Itself, and enhanced with Uru metal that makes it stronger and more durable than before) Hax: Precognition and Durability Negation; Resistances to Poisons, Drugs and Toxins, Telepathy; Magic-based Mind Control, Empathic Manipulation, Illusions, and Radiation, Intelligence: Genius Intellect.

Can endure 12 hours of torture without flinching. His Metabolism is so fast that he rarely gets tired, and it also makes him incapable of getting drunk) Powers, Techniques, and EquipmentPowersArtificially Enhanced Physiology: Rogers has no superhuman powers, although as a result of the Super-Soldier Serum, he was transformed from a frail young man into a "perfect" specimen of human development and conditioning. Rogers is as strong, fast, and agile as a human can be without being considered superhuman. He possesses powers superior to any Olympic-level athlete to have ever competed. Also, the SSS is definite, meaning even if he chose to live an unhealthy lifestyle, none of his powers would weaken. Dr. Keith Kincaid theorized that as long as some of the serum remains in Rogers' body, it would be able to reproduce it and sustain Rogers' powers.

PowerscalingShaped by his intensive physical military training and years of combat experience coupled with the enhancements of his Super Soldier Serum and martial arts skills. Captain America is among one of the top tier Marvel Street Levelers, able to fight on equal footing with Black Panther, Wolverine, Daredevil, and Iron Fist, and to a lesser extent, Spider-Man. Daredevil, Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Iron Fist all display microseconds reaction times and Captain America consistently keeps pace in his fights with all four of them, easily putting his combat and reaction speed around their's. Captain America is also typically depicted as being physically superior to Deadpool and those around his level, as he has been strong enough to one-shot the latter with a single punch. With his Shield being made of Proto-Adamantium and Vibranium, Captain America's shield is virtually indestructible as even Marvel Heralds characters like Thor and Hulk are unable to break it. Along with that, his shield possesses enough cutting power to bypass through the durability of Heralds characters such as being able to decapitate the likes of Hulk and Ultron as well as damage Iron Man's armor. In addition the Star-Spangled Avenger developed a sort of "6th Sense" over the years, both due to the Serum's enhancements and his own immense experience. Which allows for him to adapt instinctively to every situation, every fighting style to the point of being able to outright sense incoming attacks and reacting to them. Making almost impossible to sneak up on or use unconventional tactics to gain the upper hand on him. Even when he has been stripped of his Serum's enhancements, Captain America has still been shown to be a skilled, resourceful, and improvised fighter that is not to be underestimated. Weaknesses

Inconclusive Matches:
What is Captain America's top speed?Bolt's 100-meter sprint comes in around 28miles per hour, while Captain America at the speed recorded in the data files could run this distance a whopping 40 miles per hour. This speed puts the Cap above most of his allies within the MCU.
How fast can Captain America throw his shield?Wikipedia lists the diameter of the shield at 0.76 meters. If I scale the video with this value, I can get a few frame of motion. Here is a plot from Tracker that shows the horizontal position of the shield after being thrown by Winter Soldier. This puts the initial shield speed at 19.5 m/s (43.6 mph).
Does Captain America have super speed?Captain America
The world's biggest boy scout is at the peak of human perfection thanks to a super-soldier serum that gets tossed around in the Marvel Universe. With his perfect physique, Cap can run somewhere between 60 and 80 mph with ease and probably more under stress.
How fast can cap run a mile?Captain America can run a 2:18/mile, 1 minute and 25 seconds faster than the fastest mile that has ever been run. This is equivalent to 26 mph, slightly faster than the speed limit in most neighborhoods. And he can keep it up for 13 miles.
