    One morning, a strange meteorite fell in his backyard. As he touched it, he felt a surge of energy coursing through him.

    His frail body transformed, muscles bulged, and his strength increased manifold. He had become a superhuman, his weakness now a thing of the past.

    However, his fame caught the attention of Captain America, who was not thrilled about having a ripoff. He decided to confront Captain Australia.

    Instead, he extended a hand towards Captain America, helping him up. 'We don't have to be enemies,' he said.

    From that day forward, Captain Australia and Captain America became allies, protecting the world together. The rivalry was put aside for a greater cause.
