Captain America

If you are a Captain America fan and you have been following the Marvel Comics "Civil War" storyline but haven't finished it yet, stop reading now.

An article from cnn.com states that after 60 years of crime-fighting adventure the life of Steve Rogers (aka Captain America) will come to an end.

Rogers is killed by a sniper's bullet while climbing the courthouse steps. Rogers had "to stand trial for defying a superhero registration law passed after a hero's tragic mistake causes a 9/11-like event."

The Captain America comic first appeared during the World War II in 1941. Steve Rogers was born during the Depression and lost both parents early in his life. Disgusted by the actions of the Axis, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, but was rejected due to his frailities. He was later persuaded to join Operation Rebirth and was made a superhero by Dr. Abrahan Erskine.

He was a symbol of American strength, and he fought against the Axis powers.
