Story
Originally a frail man rejected from the military due to health issues, Steve Rogers volunteered for Project Rebirth, taking on the mantle of Captain America. He would later go on to become one of the founding members of the Avengers. Left behind on the Kree homeworld early on during the events of Operation: Galactic Storm, Captain America seeks to end the Shi'ar/Kree war that threatens to destabilize Earth's sun.
Gameplay
One of the four normally playable Avengers characters in Avengers in Galactic Storm, Cap is probably the most familiar face, or perhaps only familiar face, among the cast to newcomers. Fittingly given his typical leadership role among the Avengers, Cap is a rather balanced all-rounder, able to take on most challenges that come his way, and like all of the cast, has his own bag of nasty tricks to help him in this regard. While not without weakpoints of his own, Cap can be an excellent choice for those looking to start playing Galactic Storm, as well as for more experienced players to stick with.

Weaknesses
|
- Extremely versatile character who works well with any assist.
- Strong zoning game with a mid and low hitting projectile.
- Extremely easy and powerful ToD combos using Shield Tackle and Liberty Kick.
- One of the only characters who can combo off of their Ultimate Attack.
- Incredible punish capability, able to deal immense damage for blocking unsafe moves.
- Has an amazing instant overhead/crossup with j.2D, allowing for powerful okizeme.
|
- Only character with dashing normals, and while having an extra tool sounds nice, they are all minus on hit, and out of extremely specific kill/stun combos are completely worthless and using them accidentally can get you killed.
- His best standing normals are generally the far versions, and due to the way the game handles proximity while the opponent is airborne, Cap lacks a reliable anti-air outside of assists.
- Slow startup on Shield Tackle means he has trouble whiff punishing at longer ranges, and if Shield Tackle is blocked, he can be blown up for it.
