Captain America (2nd Series)

    (Marvel, 1995-1997)
™ and ©1996 Marvel Characters, Inc.

Forget everything you know about Captain America.

In response to flagging sales, Marvel turned toward its own former artists, who had left to form Image Comics. The Image crew was given free rein to reinvent (and hopefully, reinvigorate) many of Marvel’s core characters including Captain America, The Fantastic Four, The Avengers, and Iron Man.

Rob Liefeld and Jeph Loeb spun a new origin story for Captain America. In this version, Cap had been a hero of World War II, but had dared to speak out against the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Fearing the influence such an outspoken icon would have, the president ordered a young Nick Fury to put Cap on ice, removing his memory using techniques discovered from the Nazis. Over the next few decades, Steve Rogers lived as an ordinary person until wartime comrades revealed his true legacy to him.
