Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, o jovem doente e franzino Steve Rogers, se tornou o Capitão América. Doze anos atrás, Steve acordou no gelo num mundo totalmente diferente do que estava acostumado. Nos dias atuais, Steve atua como Capitão América ao lado da SHIELD comandando o Comando Uivante da SHIELD. Porém vem se tornando cada vez mais cético sobre o mundo, sobre a SHIELD e sobre seu papel, o papel como Capitão América nesse mundo que vem sendo formado. Seu país não é mais o mesmo por quem ele lutou, comandado por corruptos, preconceituosos, homens que estão mais preocupados com poder, do que com o bem estar de seus cidadãos. O estopim ocorre quando é enviado para por as mãos uma arma biológica, da organização conhecida como Flag-Smasher, mas não demora para a verdade ser revelada. As "armas", são na realidade, amostras de um novo soro do super soldado, feito através do sangue do Capitão América, produzido pela SHIELD. Após essa revelação, Steve toma sua decisão de desertar da SHIELD, mas de continuar a missão e ser o símbolo que o país precisa que ele seja, não que uma organização ou políticos precisam, mas do q o povo precisa. Com a SHIELD atrás dele, enfrenta Karl Morgenthau, o líder do Flag-Smasher, que tomou uma das amostras do novo soro. Além de John Walker, o soldado cogitado para substituí-lo, é enviado para caçar Steve por traição e recuperar o escudo e o simbolo.
