Cap's rank?

[beeinmybonnet.livejournal.com]

Well, uh... I was planning to de-lurk when I actually had something to contribute, like, you know, a drawing, but apparently the universe had other, better plans. Oh, well. Hi, hello, I'm Anna, I'm new, I'm a tyro at Marvel comics (because it appears Sweden hates superhero comics) and I'm pants at introductions. Nice to meet you! ♥

So, uh, back to the reason for my premature de-lurking.
Has it been made known which military rank Steve held? Was he a captain, or was it just a code name? I know he worked undercover or something as a "low ranker" but that wouldn't be his official rank, would it?
Am I even making any sense at all? No? Didin't think so. ::facepalm::

So. Enough rambling. I'll just spit it out and have it over with. At a social function, "present times", Steve wears a uniform, but which rank would he be holding? As a perfectionist, this detail is driving me nuts.

(And no, this is totally not research for that drawing I mentioned earlier. Why would you imagine that? ♥)

That's the problem with Marvel, isn't it? For every answer, there are at least five different answers. ::facepalm:: This is not being nice to the new kid in class.

So, basically, it seems that whatever "civilian" rank Steve had, it doesn't matter, because he is Captain America and thus trumps everyone. That... really doesn't help getting the details of my uniform kink research right. =D

Unless, does that mean that he can wear whatever the heck he wants? And if anyone asks, he'll just say that it's a special Captain America mess dress?

(... Will it have tiny wings on the cap, in that case?)

Tis true tis true. Marvel likes to have many answers for one question.

As far as uniforms go though, to be honest, for 616, I'd go with a WWII era Private uniform. That is what, as just Steve Rogers, he wore most often in comics (Steve in a normal Military uniform is a wonderful sight).

And as just Steve Rogers, I doubt he got many promotions given how "bad" an enlistee he had to pretend to be.

Aside from that, the Captain America uniform is kinda his uniform.
