Line 8:
Raised in Louisiana, Wilson enlisted in the United States Air Force Pararescue. He left active duty following the death of his wingman, [[Riley]]. As a civil servant in the Department of Veterans Affairs, Wilson assisted veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. During the [[Hydra uprising]] in 2014, [[Steve Rogers]] recruited Wilson to defeat [[Hydra]]. He assisted in dismantling [[Project Insight]] and fighting [[Brock Rumlow]], a Hydra operative, in the [[Battle at the Triskelion]]. Wilson was recruited into the [[Avengers]] following [[Ultron's attempted human extinction]]. He was involved in an [[Attack in Lagos|assignment]] to kill Rumlow, when [[Wanda Maximoff]] accidentally detonated an explosive inside an office building in Lagos, killing 26 people. Wilson opposed the [[Sokovia Accords]], the United Nations' response to the attack limiting enhanced individuals, and joined Rogers' faction of the Avengers. He was incarcerated at the [[Raft]] until [[Natasha Romanoff]] and Rogers [[Avengers' escape from the Raft|released]] him.
 
Wilson became a fugitive until the [[Infinity War]], when [[Thanos]] waged an offensive to gather all six [[Infinity Stones]]. In the [[Battle of Wakanda]], Wilson fought against Thanos, but he was defeated. Thanos perpetrated the [[Snap]], eliminating half of all life in the universe, including Wilson. Five years later, he fought in the [[Battle of Earth]]. After Rogers returned the Infinity Stones used in the [[Timetime Heistheist]] to their points in time, he appointed Wilson to succeed him as Captain America. However, the U.S. government named [[John Walker]] as Captain America. Wilson, joined by [[Bucky Barnes]] and [[Helmut Zemo]], fought against the [[Flag Smasher]]. After Walker was other than honorably discharged for [[Attack on John Walker|killing]] Flag Smasher [[Nico]], Wilson became the third Captain America.
