It is 1944. World War II is currently unfolding in Europe between the Allies and the Axis powers. Steve Rogers is a scrawny 20-year old art student who has always wanted to serve his country, especially now, but due to his scrawniness, he hasn't been enlisted. That all changes when he volunteers for a U.S. Army project known as Project: Rebirth. He is injected with a super soldier serum and gains peak human abilities. He decides to use his newfound superhuman powers to fight in the war, thus becoming Captain America.
