"One of the most well-known Avengers, itās unlikely that Captain America wouldāve shot to popularity the way that he did had it not been for World War II. Famously created in 1940 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, Captain America/Steve Rogers was a direct byproduct of their disgust and repulsion by what Nazi Germany represented. They wanted their opinion on the matter known and, as such, Simon sketched the first rough draft of what would become Captain America."
