Captain America is one of Marvel's most iconic heroes. Created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1941, Captain America made his first appearance in Captain America Comics #1, just before the United States entered World War II. Since then, he has become a symbol of patriotism and justice in the Marvel Universe. Captain America is the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a frail young man who volunteered for a secret experiment that turned him into the ultimate super soldier. As a result, he has superhuman strength, endurance and agility, as well as exceptional leadership skills. With his indestructible shield, Captain America is a formidable fighter on the battlefield. Over the years, Captain America has battled many dangerous villains, including the evil Red Skull and the terrorist organisation Hydra. He has also led the Avengers on several occasions, becoming one of the most important members of the team.
Apocalypse is a powerful and malevolent character from the Marvel Universe, first appearing in the Marvel Comics series "X-Factor" in 1986. He is a mutant with vast and varied powers, and is one of the greatest threats faced by the X-Men and the Marvel Universe. Apocalypse's story begins in ancient Egypt, where he was born as the son of the wealthy merchant En Sabah Nur. From a young age, En Sabah Nur displayed extraordinary powers and abilities, including strength, speed, agility, and regenerative powers. As he grew older, En Sabah Nur began to embrace his powers and the idea of survival of the fittest. He came to believe that only the strongest and most powerful beings should survive, and that the weak and unworthy should be cast aside. This belief led him to embrace the name Apocalypse, and he began a quest to conquer the world and impose his will on all living beings. As Apocalypse, the character has access to a wide range of powers and abilities, including superhuman strength, speed, agility, and durability. He also has the ability to manipulate energy and matter, allowing him to create and control powerful energy blasts, teleport himself and others, and even change his own physical form. Throughout his long and storied career, Apocalypse has clashed with many of the Marvel Universe's greatest heroes, including the X-Men, the Avengers, and the Fantastic Four. Despite their best efforts, these heroes have often struggled to defeat Apocalypse, making him one of the most formidable and dangerous villains in the Marvel Universe
