Public Identities.

Hiya kindly experts at the comm...

I'm currently drawing up some stuff for the christmas challenge, and I was wondering something about public identity and our favorite men.

After new Avengers got formed, after Extremis, but way before Civil War, in regular Marvel canon:

1) Is it public knowledge that Tony Stark is Iron Man? Because in some comics it seems that it is... but I read in Extremis that it was still hidden...

2) Is it public knowledge that Steve Rogers is Captain America?

Just wondering... please help!

The status of Tony's identity is weird. He keeps going public and then taking it back, or saying that someone else is wearing the suit now. During the pre-Civil War New Avengers, his identity is supposed to be secret. But most people in the superhero community can be assumed to know that it's him, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to have an ordinary person believe that it's him, given past evidence, even if he's denying it.

I always found that really weird... Seriously, you'd think in one of those press conferences he holds above not being Iron man anymore, there would be a reporter snorting loudly, "YEEAAAH RIGGGGHHHHHHT"

I know! *laughs* I think Marvel must have the most gullible reporters (maybe people in general?) in the multiverse. *g*
