Alternative versions of Captain America

Captain America is the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a superhero created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Multiple other characters have used the title of "Captain America" in Marvel's primary narrative continuity in addition to Steve Rogers. Additionally, alternate versions of Captain America exist in the parallel universes that compose the Marvel Comics Multiverse.

All three were one and done[tone][clarification needed] when Steve Rogers quit as Captain America.

Bob Russo is a professional baseball player. After he discovers that Captain America has retired, he decides he can do the job. On his first outing he swings into a building, breaks his arm, and quits.

Motorcycle thug Scar Turpin wants to be the next Captain America. On his first outing, he takes on a gang of six. He gets beat up badly and quits.

Roscoe Simons manages the gym where Steve Rogers trains. After Steve quits as Captain America, Roscoe tries to find Steve to see if he'll train him as the new Captain America; not actually knowing that Steve was Captain America. Eventually, the Falcon agrees to give Roscoe some training, but actually hopes he'll quit. On their first mission together they're captured by the Red Skull, who kills Roscoe for being an imposter of his greatest foe. It's Roscoe's death that convinces Steve to give up his Nomad persona and return as Captain America.

The 2003 limited series Truth: Red, White & Black introduced Isaiah Bradley as an African-American man who was used as a test subject during World War II in American government experiments that attempted to re-create the Super-Soldier Serum. In defiance of the government, he traveled to Europe to fight in the war.

Steve Rogers' longtime partner Bucky Barnes assumed the role of Captain America following Steve Rogers' death in the 2007 storyline "The Death of Captain America".

Ex-special forces soldier, Dave Rickford gets augmented by the Power Broker and Karl Malus. After Steve becomes the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Bucky finds himself in legal trouble, Rickford takes up the mantle. On his first day he's captured by A.I.M., and rescued by Steve Rogers, who convinces him to quit as Captain America. Dave argues that the world still needs a Captain America.
