Description
The Avengers suit
He has a standard minifigure head printed to resemble his mask, with black lines to give the mask shape. A giant "A" is on the front, along with holes for his eyes and mouth. His head has a little bit of back printing depicting more of the helmet shape. His torso printing has a belt, red and white stripes, a zipper, a white star in the center of the chest, two grey strips in the top corners, and black lines to add creases in the suit. He has backprinting depicting a continuation of the belt, the grey strips from the front, and red and white strips along with black lines to give the creases in the armour. His body is mostly dark blue with some red and white, and dark red hands. He comes with his iconic shield, which is a new rounded piece. The prototype variation looks somewhat like the comic book variation.
This version is based off Steve Rogers's appearance in The Avengers.

Captain America: The First Avenger
In Captain America: The First Avenger, in 1942, Steve Rogers was deemed physically unfit to enlist in the U.S. Army and fight the Nazis in World War II. Volunteering instead for Operation: Rebirth, a secret military operation, he is physically transformed into a super-soldier dubbed Captain America. At first the army only used him as a propaganda figure, but while in Europe he saved hundreds of prisoners of war, including his friend Bucky Barnes. He and Bucky then created a team to fight HYDRA, a Nazi organization created by Johann Schmidt, also known as the Red Skull. In the Comics, Red Skull is Captain America's Arch-nemesis and murderer of Peter Parker's (who became Spider-man) parents. While trying to prevent Schmidt from bombing America, Captain America crashes Schmidt's aircraft into a glacier, after Schmidt is transported to another dimension by the Tesseract. Captain America was frozen in the Arctic for almost 70 years but survives due to the super soldier serum and is discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists. He awakes in a mockup of a 1940s hospital ward in S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ, but realizes it's fake and breaks out, ending up in the streets of present-day New York, where he meets S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury.

In The Avengers, Captain America becomes the leader of the superhero team The Avengers, which also consists of Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, and Hawkeye. His shield is made of indestructible vibranium.
