History: (Spider-Man cartoon episode - "The Capture of Captain America" (fb)) - In 1941, Captain America made his debut. Fighting against the Axis in World War II, Captain America fought across Europe, frequently battling the villainous Red Skull, before falling into suspended animation in 1945. He was thawed out in the present day when the ice melted (see comments).
(Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends cartoon episode - "7 Little Superheroes" (fb) - BTS) - At one point, Captain America crossed paths with the Chameleon and ruined the criminal's schemes. He did this enough to earn the master of disguise's ire.
(Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends cartoon episode - "Triumph of the Green Goblin" (fb) - BTS) - At some point, Captain America licensed his likeness for use on various products, including a Captain America costume.
(Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends cartoon
episode - "Triumph of the Green Goblin" - BTS) - Bobby Drake wore a
Captain America costume to a costume party at Empire State University.
(Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends
cartoon episode - "7 Little Superheroes") - Captain
America, along with Dr. Strange, Namor the Sub-Mariner and
Shanna the Jungle Queen, were invited by an unidentified host to Wolf Island Manor and upon arrival, they waited for
over an
hour with no sign of their host.
When
the
Spider-Friends entered the room, having decided to visit Wolf Island
Manor themselves after Spider-Man found one of the unseen host's
invitations under a city building's ledge, introductions were made and
the
Chameleon
introduced himself over a set of speakers as both their previously unidentified host and their
executioner. When the heroes
tried to escape the island, Captain
America pointed out the Chameleon's voice
could have been a recording.
(Spider-Man cartoon
episode - "Carnival of Crime" - BTS) - Captain America balloons were
given out at a local circus, at least one of which floated off into the
air.
(Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends
cartoon episode - "Pawns of the Kingpin" (fb) - BTS) - Footage of
Captain America was taken of him performing both acrobatic and heroic
feats.
This footage found its way into the Kingpin's clutches and the Kingpin
devised a plan to have hypnotist Dr. Faustus hypnotize Captain America
into stealing the Omni-Blaster weapon for him.
(Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends
cartoon episode - "Pawns of the Kingpin") - Captain America made
a personal appearance at Empire State University, performing acrobatic
stunts for the cheering
crowds and speaking of the importance of exercise. He then introduced the
Spider-Friends, who were also part of the show, and challenged them to stop him from crossing the
finish line at
the opposite end of the school's gym. He easily dodged Spider-Man,
blocked
Firestar's flame with his shield and smashed his way free from Iceman's
cage.
Cap
was
subsequently taking a break outside and signing autographs for the
students when a limousine pulled up, secretly housing the Kingpin and his ally Dr. Faustus. Dr. Faustus
shot him with a hypno-disk, placing him under hypnotic control. When
Iceman
approached Cap about an interview (for Bobby Drake's school
assignment), the hypnotized Cap
brushed the younger hero's request off and asked him instead to help on
what he
called a top-secret mission.
Later
that
night, Captain America radioed Iceman and told him to meet him at the
Slumber
Hill Cemetery. When the young mutant arrived, Cap escorted him to a
nearby US
government base and told Iceman that the base was actually a nest of
enemy
spies and that they had to recover the Omni-Blaster weapon before it
was used
against them.
When the
Kingpin took control of the Omni-Blaster, Cap and the
Spider-Friends tried to
attack but the Omni-Blaster's rays kept them at bay. When the Kingpin fled, the heroes followed his trail and were attacked by the Kingpin's criminal gang and Cap
took out three of them with
his shield. As the
Kingpin fled to his private jet, Spider-Man raced after him with help from
Cap's parked motorcycle. When the Kingpin was defeated and
arrested, Cap took his motorcycle
back and thanked the Spider-Friends for a job well done. He then rode
off into the
dawn as Iceman chased after, shouting about his interview. Cap tossed
Iceman an
audio cassette that he had made sometime earlier and continued on his
way, unaware the tape was
ruined seconds later by Iceman's extreme cold.
(Spider-Man cartoon episode - "The
Capture
of Captain America") - Captain America was invited to "Captain America
Day," an
event organized by J. Jonah Jameson. Cap cut through the crowd and
leapt onto
the stage in the park to address the crowd when he recognized the Red
Skull's
voice, as the Skull had secretly impersonated Jameson earlier. Cap
ordered the
crowd to stay back and Cap and the
Skull battled but the patriotic hero was dazed by the Skull's gas gun.
Throwing his shield, the stunned Cap didn't see the arriving
Spider-Man, who had been present as Peter Parker covering the event.
Spider-Man was hit by the
shield midair and fell and Cap quickly succumbed to the gas and passed
out.
Unconscious, he was carried off into the Skull's airship and taken away
to the
Skull's secret castle headquarters. Cap was still knocked out when the
Skull subsequently boasted of his plans
for the hero.
Later,
during a parade, Cap shook hands with Spider-Man and called him a real
American. He offered to talk to "a certain publisher" about a getting a
Spider-Man Day started and saluted the crowd.
(Spider-Man cartoon episode -
"Arsenic
& Aunt May" - BTS) - A prime-time animated television series called
"The New Adventures of the Mighty Avengers" was made about the
fictional adventures of Captain America and his allies, the
Avengers (see comments).
Comments: Created by Doug Booth and Marvel Productions, Ltd. (see Appearances list for list of artists involved).
According
to
a few online sources, Captain America was voiced by George DiCenzo in
both
shows.
All
physical
stats are from his 616 counterpart. He was never seen with his cowl off
but his
hair was presumably blonde like his 616 counterpart.
In
the Spider-Man episode,
"Capture
of Captain America," all of Cap's background was revealed via a
newsreel,
so it might be propaganda. In the Spider-Man
episode, "Carnival of Crime," we see balloons with Cap's face on them. Spider-Man also gets a Captain America costume
from a costume shop, so there seems to be a fair amount of merchandise.
Several
Cap costumes are also seen during the few costume parties in the
series.
The
Avengers
only show up as a cameo and the tv announcer calls the show "The New
Adventures
of the Mighty Avengers," which Spider-Man remarked about being "a
cartoon show,"
so a licensed show maybe? Presumably the lineup was based on the actual
roster.
It was mentioned that the time was eight o'clock and it was dark so the
show aired in primetime.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Earth-8107's Captain America has no known connections to:
The New Adventures of the Mighty Avengers
An animated series based on a fictional team of heroes known as the Avengers, consisting of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, the Vision and the Scarlet Witch, "The New Adventures of the Mighty Avengers" aired in primetime and was watched by Spider-Man.
The
events seen in this animated series would be occurring on Earth-82026.
It's possible that they mirrored Earth-616, which would be a strange
bit of metafiction, but they likely had some differences like most
fictional accounts so these would be the Avengers of Earth-82026.
