Captain America

Appearances in other media

A 1944 movie serial called Captain America portrayed the hero as a district attorney named Grant Gardner and arbitrarily removed many other important elements of the character, such as his shield and his sidekick, Bucky. A 1966 television animated series called Captain America appeared; the quality of the animation was largely judged as poor, as it was mostly made up of stills photostatted from Jack Kirby art. There were two 1979 poorly-received made-for-television movies, Captain America and Captain America II: Death Too Soon starring Reb Brown as the hero. Another feature film in 1991, Captain America starring Matt Salinger as Captain America, met equally negative reviews. It depicted the hero's battle against the Red Skull, who in the film was an Italian fascist rather than a German Nazi.

Captain America (along with Nick Fury) also made an appearance in the animated series '. In the episode Operation Rebirth, Rogers got his abilities from a machine used as part of Project: Rebirth. During World War II, he participated in a joint operation with a Canadian soldier named Logan to liberate a concentration camp. One of the prisoners happened to be a boy named Erik Lehnsherr. After the attack, it was revealed that the Rebirth process was killing Rogers, so he and Logan destroyed the machine and Rogers was cryogenically frozen until a cure could be found. Magneto would later acquire a duplicate of the Rebirth technology, because he discovered that it could be used safely on mutants to prolong their life and vitality. The duplicate technology was destroyed by Wolverine, Rogue, and Nightcrawler.
