Captain America: The First Avenger Page #4

Synopsis: It is 1942, America has entered World War II, and sickly but determined Steve Rogers is frustrated at being rejected yet again for military service. Everything changes when Dr. Erskine recruits him for the secret Project Rebirth. Proving his extraordinary courage, wits and conscience, Rogers undergoes the experiment and his weak body is suddenly enhanced into the maximum human potential. When Dr. Erskine is then immediately assassinated by an agent of Nazi Germany's secret HYDRA research department (headed by Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. the Red Skull), Rogers is left as a unique man who is initially misused as a propaganda mascot; however, when his comrades need him, Rogers goes on a successful adventure that truly makes him Captain America, and his war against Schmidt begins.

and is smart as a fox?

Far as an eagle we'll soar.

Who's making Adolph afraid

to step out of his bunk?

He knows what we're fighting for.

Who waked the giant that napped in America?

We know it's no one but, Captain America.

Who'll finish what they began?

Who'll kick the krauts to Japan?

The Star Spangled Man.

With the...

Plaaaaaaaaaan.

How many of you are ready

to help me sock ol' Adolph on the jaw?

Okay.

I need a volunteer.

We already volunteered,

how do you think I got here?

Bring back the girls.

I think they only know the one song.

But, um...

Let me...I'll see what I can do.

You do that, sweetheart.

Nice boots, Tinkerbell.

Come on guys.

We're all on the same team here.

Hey, Captain.

Sign this.

Don't worry about it, they'll warm up to you.

Don't worry.

Hello Steve.

Hi.

- Hi

- What are you doing here?

Officially I'm not here at all.

That was quite a performance.

Yeah, uh...

I had to improvise a little bit.

The crowds I'm used to are usually more, uh...

- Proud.

- I understand you're America's new hope.

Bond sales take a ten percent

bump on every state I visit.

That's Senator Brandt's idea.

At least he's got me doing this.

Phillips would have had me stuck in a lab.

And these are you only two options?

A lab rat or a dancing monkey.

You were meant for more than this, you know.

What?

You know, for the longest time I dreamed about,

...coming over seas and...

..being on the front lines.

Serving my country.

Finally got everything I wanted.

And I'm wearing tights.

Look like they've been through hell.

These men move the most.

Schmidt sent out a force to a zone.

Less than 50 returned.

Your audience contained

what was left of the 107th.

The rest were killed or captured.

The 107th?

What?

Come on.

- Colonel Phillips.

- Well if it isn't the Star Spangled Man with the plan.

What is your plan today?

I need the causality list from Bolzano.

You don't get to give me orders, son.

I just need one name.

Sergeant James Barnes from the 107th.

You and I are going to have a conversation

later that you won't enjoy.

Please tell me he's alive, sir.

B-A-R...

I can spell.

I've signed more of these condolence

letters today than I would care to count.

But...

The name does sound familiar.

I'm sorry.

What about the others?

Are you planning a rescue mission?

Yeah, it's called winning the war.

But if you know where they are, why not...

They're thirty miles behind the lines.

Through some of the most

heavily fortified territory in Europe.

We'd lose more men than we'd save.

I don't expect you to understand that,

because you're a chorus girl.

I think I understand just fine.

Well then understand it somewhere else.

If I read the posters correctly, you've got

someplace to be in thirty minutes.

Yes, sir.

I do.

If you have something to say, right now

is the perfect time to keep it to yourself.

What do plan to do, walk to Austria.

If that's what it takes.

You heard the Colonel,

your friend is most likely dead.

You don't know that.

Even so, he's devising a strategy, it takes time.

By the time he's done that, it could be to late.

Steve.

You told me you thought I

was meant for more than this.

Did you mean that?

Every word.

Then you gotta let me go.

I can do more than that.

On stage, girls.

Where's my helmet?

Anyone seen, Rogers?

The Hydra camp is in

Krossberg.

It's up between these two mountain ranges.

It's a factory of some kind.

We should be able to drop you

around the doorstep.

Just get me as close as you can.

You know you two are going

to be in a lot of trouble when you land.

- And you won't.

- Where I'm going if any anybody,

...yells at me I can just shoot them.

And they will undoubtedly shoot back.

Well lets hope this is good for something.

Agent Carter.

If you're not in too much of a hurry I thought

we could stop off in Usurea

for a late night Fondue.

Stark is the best civilian pilot I've ever seen.

He's mad enough to brave this air space.

We're lucky to have him.

So you two?

Do you?

Fondue?

This is your transponder,

active it when you're ready.

And the signal will lead us straight to you.

Are you sure this thing works?

It tested more than you, pal.

Get back here, we're taking you all the way there.

I'm jumping this plane, turn this thing

around and get the hell out of here.

You can't give me orders.

The hell I can't.

I'm a Captain.

As you can see.

Production and the work here is progressing on schedule.

Even with components of this size.

Increase the output by sixty percent.

And speak with our other facilities to do the same.

But these prisoners, I'm not

sure they have the strength.

Then use up what strength they have left, Doctor.

There are always more workers.

Not now.

You know, Fritz.

One of these days I'm going

to have a stick of my own.

Fellas.

Who are you suppose to be?

Um...

Captain America.

I, beg your pardon?

What are we taking, everybody?

I'm from Fresno, ace.

There anybody else?

I'm looking for a Sergeant James Barnes.

There's an isolation ward in the factory.

No one's ever come back from it.

All right.

The tree line is northwest,

it's eighty yards past the gate.

Get out fast, and give them hell.

I'll meet you guys in the

clearing with anybody else I find.

- Wait.

- You know what you're doing?

Yeah. I knocked out Adolph Hitler over 200 times.

You know how to use that thing?

Okay.

What is happening?

Hey.

Not exactly a Buick.

- That's Zndung. (Ignition)

- Zndung?

Get going, Dum Dum.

I didn't know you spoke German.

I recently mastered at Le Havre.

Plus the French girls much cuter.

Get after the Russian babes.

No, no, what are you doing?

Our forces are out matched.

Keep moving.

Grab a grenade.

Bucky.

Oh my God.

It's me, it's Steve.

Steve.

- Come on.

- Steve.

I thought you were dead.

I thought you were smaller?

Come on.

What happened to you?

I joined the army.

Did it hurt?

A little.

- Permanent?

- So far.

Captain America.

How exciting.

I am a great fan of your films.

So Doctor Erskine managed it after all.

Not exactly an improvement, but, still.

Impressive.

You've got no idea.

Haven't I.

No matter what lies Erskine told you.

You see I was his greatest success.

You don't have one of those, do you?

You are deluded, Captain.

You pretend to be a simple soldier.

But in reality you are just afraid to admit,

...that we have left humanity behind.

Men like you.

They embrace it proudly.

No fear.

Then how come you're running?

Come on, let's go.

Sir, we go to the roof?

What about me?

Where will I sit?

Not a scratch, Doctor.

Not a scratch.

Let's go.

One at a time.

Gotta get a rope or something.

Just go, get out of here.

No, not without you.

SENATOR BRANDT, I REGRET TO INFORM YOU,

...CAPTAIIN STEPHEN G. ROGERS

...WENT MISSING BEHIND ENEMY LINES,

...ON THE THIRD AREA.

RECONNASANCE HAS PROVEN

...UNFRUITFUL AS A RESULT,

...I MUST DECLARE CAPTAIN ROGERS,
