I hope you're right about this. Or we're gonna land a lot faster than you want to." ― Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson [src] Thor communicated with Steve Rogers' spirit on the first anniversary of his death. Though Thor vowed to avenge him in full, Rogers declined, saying that their world was already too stained with the taint of death and violence. Thor granted Steve a minute of silence, by using his powers to cut off all the electronic media in America for exactly sixty seconds. [114] Rebirth [ ] After dismantling the operations of the ecoterrorist Green Skull, Captain America was abducted in a subway station by Arnim Zola, being welcomed to the mysterious realm of Dimension Z. The villain experimented on Rogers, wishing to reverse-engineer the Super-Soldier Serum to weaponize his creations. Captain America stood up and broke free, rescuing a baby in the process, unaware he was Zola's prime experiment and son. [147] For one year, the lost and trapped Rogers struggled to survive in the inhospitable place as he took care of the kid, who he had baptized Ian. [148] They eventually met and joined forces with the Phrox, who resisted Zola's rule. However, Rogers had become a host of Zola's consciousness. [149] During the following decade, Rogers stayed away from Zola's forces, training Ian in combat and raising him as his son while protecting the Phrox. However, the infection allowed Zola to manifest himself in Rogers' body and reveal to Ian his true origins. [150] Eventually, Hydra initiated its endgame by brainwashing entire American populations through news broadcasts, causing civilians to rise up against the government. Cap directed an assault on Hydra's flying island, where he finally went against Bravo and Hydra Queen. Hydra's plot is foiled while Bravo is killed, and the Queen is left catatonic. After successfully becoming Captain America, Rogers was later submitted to an experimental mind-conditioning program that conditioned his mind to accept false information about Walter Rogers' family on the chance he was captured by the enemy and forced to reveal classified information. As part of the conditioning, Rogers believed his real name to be Grant Rogers, that he had a brother named Michael who had died at Pearl Harbor, and that due to his parents being diplomats, he had a casual upper-class appointment to the Army and Captain America position. It would not be until far later in life that Rogers would recall the conditioning and his true history. [1]

We got everything nowadays. We got a guy who jumps. We got a guy who swings, we got a guy who crawls up the walls." ―Sam Wilson and Writer [src] As Rogers introduced himself, Wilson had then made it clear that he already knew who he was based upon his incredible running abilities. He then questioned what it was like for Rogers to have been woken up in 2011 after living in the 1940s during World War II, to which Rogers only claimed that it was taking some getting used to. Before Rogers could walk away, Wilson had then noted that most other Armed Forces veterans, himself included, had struggled to get used to sleeping on a comfortable bed upon returning home, which Rogers related to. The pair then bonded about their experiences while serving in the military and similarities in readjusting without a war zone. Cunningham, Phillip L. (2009).
