In New York City, Steve Rogers is rejected for World War II military recruitment due to his various health and physical problems.

While attending an exhibition of future technologies with his best friend, Sgt. James “Bucky” Barnes, Rogers again attempts to enlist.

Overhearing Rogers’ conversation with Barnes about representing his country in the war, Dr. Abraham Erskine allows Rogers to enlist.

He is recruited into the Strategic Scientific Reserve as part of a “super-soldier” experiment under Erskine, Colonel Chester Phillips, and British MI6 agent Peggy Carter.

Phillips is unconvinced by Erskine’s claims that Rogers is the right person for the procedure but relents after seeing Rogers jump on a grenade to save his comrades, unaware that it is a test.

The night before the treatment, Erskine reveals to Rogers that Schmidt underwent the procedure prematurely and suffered permanent side-effects.
