But once a murderous Nazi plot is revealed, Captain America rises to the challenge and becomes The First Avenger, taking on The Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), his evil nemesis, and protecting the Allies from an impending missile launch. During the malaise, Captain America is frozen in ice for almost six decades.
