HistoryEdit

The Captain America of Earth-460 proved to be a thorn in the side of the United States-ruling Purple Man. Unable to kill the Captain, he instead had him sent into the past of Earth-616, specifically the late 16th century. Once in that era, Rogers lived with the local Native Americans in what was to be known as Virginia and taught them what he knows about his present time, his language, and importantly the near annihilation of the Native American people. In this new world Rogers participated in helping the early Roanoke colony settlers (which the colonists didn't disappear in 1587 due to Rogers' temporal arrival) to survive their new environs. It is also where he met a very young Virginia Dare, the first child to born in America, who he befriends her and also regarded her as the most important person as a representation of a America he believes in. Rogers kept his identity a secret from the Europeans and made a new identity as Rojhaz (pronounced "Ro-gers"; a bowdlerization of his last name), in which the colonists then assumed that he was descended from "Welsh Indians" that first settled in America given his obvious racial identity among the Natives. However, despite giving his chance to live in a America where he can renew and prevent a dystopian nation where he came from, Steve Rogers' arrival caused the creation of the other heroes and villains in the early 16th century and the subsequent destabilization of reality. In 1602, Rogers escorted the young Virginia as she made herself as an ambassador to Queen Elizabeth. When escaping from James I and returning to America, Rogers revealed his true identity to Virginia and Clea Strange. Reality was fixed when Captain America returned to his own timeline by Nicholas Fury (who also apparently went to Steven's time), and the alternate history he unwittingly created was preserved as a new dimension called Earth-311.

Despite Rodgers' permanent absence, the Native Americans remain in touch of what Rogers told them and were close to having war with the Roanoke colonists to protect their existence until all hostilities were ended peacefully with the Natives being accepted as actual representative for the colony's government council.

NotesEdit

• Although "Rojhaz" fills the Captain America role, he also reflects elements of the Ka-Zar: in one scene, Virginia proposes that she could transform into a giant cat and storm a prison with Rojhaz on her back, much as Ka-Zar rode on the back of his sabre-toothed tiger, Zabu.
• "Rojhaz", acting as a guardian to the Roanoke colonists, can also be a reference to the Native American Mandan mythological figure Lone Man, who, according to one tale, provided his people with homes during and after a great deluge.
