CAPTAIN AMERICA (character)
Captain America is the patriotic Golden Age comic book superhero created by Joe Simon & Jack Kirby in 1941 (at the start of World War II) for Marvel Comics, and he was "revived" in Avengers #4 in 1964. Unlike the vast majority of Golden Age characters that were revived in the 1960s, Marvel Comics did not create a new version of him, but instead had a wild story of him literally being frozen for decades, and he was literally revived as the same character! The Captain America franchise has spread to almost all forms of media including books, television shows, and films. The character is portrayed by Chris Evans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
