Every Captain America Movie Ignores the Darkest Part of His Origin Story

screenrant.com:

While Captain America is a living icon who has commanded gods with his voice alone, there's also a man under the mask who has lived a long and often painful life. Living his adult life separated from everyone he ever knew and loved, Captain America is a uniquely lonely hero, finding solace and meaning as a champion of the Dream and a protector of the downtrodden. But while Steve may be a deeply moral and idealistic person, movie adaptations won't show fans the early victimization that inspired his obsession with fighting for those who can't fight for themselves.

Born in 1920 on the fourth of July, Steve Rogers suffered with an unspecified sickness from a young age, losing both parents early in life. Outraged by Hitler's regime, Steve later made history by volunteering for Project Rebirth, from which he emerged as a Super-Soldier, his body and mind enhanced to the peak of human potential. Steve fought bravely on the front line of WWII, helping to crush the Nazi regime before being injured by Baron Zemo, ending up frozen in ice for decades only to be awoken in the modern day as a reborn Sentinel of Liberty.

However, Steve's battles started far earlier than that, bullied by both other children and his abusive father, who frequently attacked his family in alcohol-fueled rages. At such times, Steve's mother Sarah Rogers would physically shield him from his father, explicitly teaching him to stand up for those weaker than himself, and to always get back to his feet after being knocked down by a bully (as memorably depicted in Rick Remender and John Romita Jr.'s Captain America vol. 7 #1.) Over in the MCU, Steve's father died prior to his birth.
