Summary
Growing up idolizing Captain America, William Burnside got all he ever wanted when he found the Super Serum Formula during the Korean War. Convincing the government to inject it into him, he underwent plastic surgery to make himself a perfect replica of Steve Rogers, and promoted McCarthyist ideologies as the Captain America of the 1950s.
However the Super Soldier Serum was faulty, and Burnside and his partner Jack Monroe (then going by the name Bucky) became increasingly paranoid, and the United States government had to intervene, offering to give the pair medical treatment for their conditions. Refusing due to their growing paranoia, Captain America and Bucky tried to attack the government officials and were blasted into unconsciousness. The government then placed both Burnside and Monroe in cryogenic stasis where the pair remained for many decades.
