Phase One Movie One of SonofaBeach627's Rebooted Marvel Movie Universe. Rated-PG13 Horrified by newsreel footage of Nazis ransacking Europe and atrocities in Asia that the Empire of Japan committed in China and Korea, Steve Rogers tried to enlist in the Army but was rejected as 4-F because of his frailty and sickness. Overhearing the boy's earnest plea to fight for his country, General Chester Phillips, of the US Army, offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a top-secret performance-enhancing experiment called Operation Rebirth. A Nazi spy, who observed the experiment, murdered Dr. Abraham Erskine mere minutes after its conclusion. Dr. Erskine died without fully committing the Super-Soldier formula to paper, leaving Rogers the sole beneficiary of his genius. During the war, "Cap" served as both a symbol of freedom and America's most effective special operative. In addition to working with his young sidekick Bucky, Cap fights alongside other Allied super-powered heroes such as Namor the Sub-Mariner and the android Human Torch, who were the recognized core of the World War II super-team known as the Invaders. The Invaders fought against the secret Nazi science branch called HYDRA led by another super soldier, Johann Schmidt, calling himself Red Skull with the assistance of his engineering director, Arnim Zola, and his financial supporter, Baron Heinrich Zemo. Together the Invaders defeat HYDRA before Rogers follows Red Skull onto a rocket and aims it towards the Arctic Ocean, crashing it and going into a suspended animation in the ice. Mid-Credits Scene: Steve Rogers is pulled out of the ice by a submarine and thawed out, greeted by a well dressed man who addresses him saying "Welcome back, Captain. My name is Tony Stark, welcome to the 21st Century." End-Credits Scene: A space shuttle crashes down into earth. Four humans trapped under rubble. One man's legs are trapped under heavy machinery as he crawls away with his torso stretching incredibly. Another man is entirely engulfed in flame as he screams. The third man yells from a pile of rock, an arm of stone reaching out from the rubble. And a woman phasing in and out of vision as she lay unconscious.
