I've written a version of this before, so I hope it's ok to repeat it.
It turns out that Captain America was *not* too important to the war effort to get a blue ticket. After being caught out after a night's indiscretion, Private Steve Rogers was thrown emphatically *out* of the army.
But, Cap being Cap he went ahead and did everything that canon Cap achieved anyway, just without the costume, the fanfare and the subsequent merchandise.
Decades later, the Avengers pull a man out of an ice floe - but who is he?
As Mr Rogers slowly comes to terms with a new world, Tony Stark is determined to learn just who this somewhat-secretive man is -and how on Earth he survived-.
Piecing the truth together from history books, odd remarks and the strange assortment of "old friends" who come visiting the ice-man (Nick Fury, Arnie Roth and presumably others) he discovers a hero the world never knew.
But is there a place in this strange new world for a man so lost and out of time? And could such a man ever love someone like Tony?
Prompt: Cap was never famous
