Created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Dick Ayers, Sharon first appeared in Tales of Suspense (1st series) #75 (March 1966). Sharon was born in Richmond, Virginia, the daughter of two wealthy Virginia, Harrison and Amanda Carter. She grew up with the stories of her aunt (Margaret "Peggy" Carter) who was a freedom fighter with the French Resistance during World War II. During this time, Peggy worked alongside Steve Rogers, the patriotic hero known as Captain America, on several occasions. The two fell in love despite Rogers never finding out her name, but were separated in the closing weeks of the war. They did not find each other again before Rogers was thought dead, lost in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. |
