Suggested by bighero616
During the height of World War II, the frail and sickly Steve Rogers is chosen to participate in a secret United States Army project. He enters as a young soldier who wants to help and make a difference and emerges as Captain America, a super soldier. Sent to the front lines, he leads the Allied forces against the Nazi threat, meets American soldier James "Bucky" Barnes, who becomes his partner, the Howling Commandos, a special army unit led by the infamous Sergeant Fury, and Peggy Carter, a British spy. Together, led by Captain America, they advance through Europe, confronting the forces of the Third Reich. This leads them to the door of Baron Heinrich Zemo, a Nazi assassin, whose disregard for human life disgusts Steve. However, Zemo escapes, but that would not be the last time they would see each other, a rivalry that, unbeknownst to both, would span time and generations. When Captain America and Bucky arrive, Jack Fury and the Howling Commandos have been kidnapped by Zemo's men, and knowing what he can do to those men, Steve and Bucky ignore the colonel's orders and advance to the location obtained from Zemo's base, certain it's a trap, but with Captain America ready to put an end to the threat posed by Baron Zemo.
