Steven Rogers is a man out of time. Thanks to a super-soldier program back in WWII, he has a physique that can be considered "peak human". He has also physically aged only ten years since then, despite having lived during the intervening time. Most of his old friends are dead or dying, his wife died in the '80s and son missing since the Vietnam War. His oldest surviving friend has a nation to run, and little time for reminiscing. Nowadays, he just teaches history at a high school in Queens. Of course, not everyone wants to let Captain America fade into obscurity. One of his students has discovered his secret and is insistent about becoming his new sidekick. His great-niece is his liaison with a government agency that polices superhumans. And old enemies from the past have heirs that are making their presence known . . . . Captain America explores what it means to be not just a hero but a man, and whether some ideals that are considered out-dated are still worthwhile causes to be pursued. It is also a tale of fighting back against isolation and depression with the help of those around you.
