Fictional character biography
His career beginning with a deep hatred in terrorism, the life of Anti-Cap began when he enlisted in the navy, but was let down according to a series of heath tests. Instead, he was accepted into the Office of Naval Importance (O.N.I.) and ingested a "super-steriod" (AVX) that magnified his phisycal attributes. He worked for the program for one year, then went rogue for an unknown reason. After S.H.I.E.L.D. suspected the O.N.I. project as a criminal organization, the vigilante Falcon helped take Anti-Cap to safety. Dressing as Captain America and calling himself "Ant-Cap," the operative ran into the real Captain America, and the two fought as rivals. Captain America captured the impersonator and kept him in hiding, only for him to die after an overdose of AVX. Buried at sea, he was soon rescued by the Falcon, who took him back to Brooklyn, where the Anti-Cap pursued murdering any aids to terrorists. Soon, he and Captain America met again, where he had his final battle that ended with Anti-Cap getting run over by a moving train.
