Captain America's Name
Name: Michael Grant
From his status as a super-soldier in the U.S. Army—the first and only of his kind!
Captain America was created
Captain America was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby as a response to the booming popularity of patriotically-themed super heroes.
Thanks!
Patty McKernan
What's in a name?
Name: Joseph Greene
An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers of World War II. He was the first super soldier in the U.S. Army… so Captain America just fits. It’s about as American as you can get.
Created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1941.
The answer to the question asked!
My name is:Tony Jackson
Captain america got his name from being created by the army as the first experiment of soldier that, was suppose to posess super human prowless!
Writer joe simon who is the creator of capt.america said, he felt that captain america was more of a name acceptable because of so many other heroes that were named super! He felt captain would be much more appealing to the hard-core comic fan!
Captain America's Name
My name is James Mundo.
They called him Captain America because the US Government, after their planned super soldier army failed, wanted to use Rogers as a superhero rather than just a regular soldier. So they gave him the title of Captain America so he could be a superhero and a symbol of American values, freedom and hope, in the war and in future appearances. That way, everyone would know that he fought for America.
Super Soldier.
Uriel Ramirez
Because he was the first super soldier in the U.S. Army, and he was the Captain.
Captain America
It was given to him by the U.S. government to fight the Nazis and to become a symbol of freedom as well as a counter-intelligence agent.
Captain America
sorry accidental entry. removing my comment.
Captain America
Name: Franco Arellano
Reason: The U.S Government gave Steve Rogers a costume based on the American Flag, an unbreakable shield and named him Captain America as the first super solider to fight the Nazi’s. His ancestor of Steven Rogers was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was so patriotic and effective that his fellow soldiers nicknamed him “Captain America.” This was the first time the name was ever used, and it may have been the inspiration for the current title of Captain America.
He was in the army and they
He was in the army and they made him into a super army solder and he was the captain and he became captain america
