Margaret "Peggy" Carter is a supporting character of Captain America in the Marvel Comics universe.
The character first appeared, unnamed, as a wartime love interest of Captain America in Tales of Suspense #75 (March 1966). She appeared again as the older sister of Sharon Carter in Captain America #161 (May 1973). She was later retconned as Sharon's aunt due to the unaging nature of comic book characters. The character has appeared frequently in Captain America stories set during World War II.
Within the context of the stories, Carter joins the French Resistance as a teenager, and serves on multiple operations alongside Captain America. The two fall in love, but an exploding shell gives her amnesia, and she is sent to live with her parents in Virginia. With Captain America thought dead, she lives a quiet life for many years. After Captain America reemerges, Peggy has a run-in with the villain Doctor Faustus, from which Captain America saves her. She joins the organization S.H.I.E.L.D., eventually ends up in a nursing home, and later passes away.
