− | The movie received mostly mixed to negative reviews, and is usually considered the worst of Lions Gate's Marvel animated videos. Critics have enjoyed the changes and updates to the character feeling that it makes sense in the context of the story. They also enjoy that Iron Man gets his own film after being a secondary character in {{ua}} and {{ua2}}. However, most point out that the movie lacks proper character development. They generally feel that the movie moves too slowly in the first half and lacks proper story in the second. It is often negatively compared to the critically acclaimed live action film, which was released over a year later, saying that the latter version did the same thing but better. They also point out that Tony lacks enough positive attributes to counter his negative. The villains are commonly derided as the Elementals lack personality and Mandarin isn't on screen enough. |

Captain America is a character appearing in the animated films Ultimate Avengers and Ultimate Avengers II, both of which have their tenth anniversary this year. He was voiced by Justin Gross in both his appearances. While the videos were based on the first Ultimates story arc, he is more inspired by the original Earth-616 version. During World War II, Operation: Rebirth turned meek little Steve Rogers into the powerful superhero Captain America. He dated the beautiful Gail Richards though they were separated by the fighting. He became bitter enemies with the disguised Chitauri alien Herr Kleiser though he found the Nazi leader impossible to kill. At the end of the war, Captain America joined the 101st Airborne in storming a Nazi stronghold. After fighting Kleiser, Captain America climbed onto a nuclear missile and destroyed it over the North Atlantic. He fell into the ocean where he froze. After sixty years, S.H.I.E.L.D. found his body and returned it to the Triskelion. There, Steve woke up and fought his way out. He stopped when he saw the modern New York City and Nick Fury told him they had won the war. Steve found that everything he knew had changed. His neighborhood had evolved, his fellow soldiers had died, and friend Bucky Barnes had grown old while married to Gail. Fury recruited Steve into his Avengers project and gave him command of the team. He explained to the group that the Chitauri were still attacking Earth. He was given a new indestructible shield and lead the team to retake a captured S.H.I.E.L.D. base that housed satellites used to track the aliens. However, only Black Widow obeyed his orders, the team failed, and the base was destroyed. Steve left feeling disillusioned with modern people. When the Chitauri assaulted the Triskelion, Captain America and the other Avengers joined in defending the planet. Under Captain America's leadership, the aliens were defeated. Unfortunately, Bruce Banner lost control of Hulk and attacked the team. They managed to hold him off until Betty Ross calmed him down stopping the rampage. Afterwards, Bucky brought Gail to him so they could reconnect. Then, the Avengers held a party in his honor. Over the following months, Steve began dating Natalia. At the same time, he was growing depressed at his situation and began taking more dangerous missions. After nearly getting himself killed, Fury forced Steve to take a break.
