    Captain America

    Character » Captain America appears in 11747 issues.

    During World War II, Steve Rogers volunteered to receive the experimental Super-Soldier Serum. Enhanced to the pinnacle of human physical potential and armed with an unbreakable shield, he became Captain America. After a failed mission left him encased in ice for decades, he was found and revived by the Avengers, later joining their ranks and eventually becoming the team's leader.

    What are the respective ages of Steve and Bucky?

    I know that Steve was barely out of his teens when he underwent his operation, while Bucky was sixteen when the army assigned him to be Winghead's sidekick. 
     
    But other than that, I'm at a loss.

    Well let's say Steve had his operation in 1940 (Cap and Bucky's first appearance.) We'll just say Steve was 21. Now if  we know bucky was 16, then 1940-16=1924 so then Bucky would probably be 86, and steve would be 91 years old.

    @VampireSelektor:

    According to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z Hardcover edition, published in 2008:  Steve Rogers was born in 1922 and Bucky Barnes was born in 1925.   
    There's 3 years difference between them in actual age.

    Thank you!   
     
    Hmm, and yet both of them are physically younger than Tony Stark.
