      I think the guy making the speech introducing him is supposed to be the Secretary of Defense but for the new part they're keeping the current President and Cabinet mysteriously offscreen

      Exactly. This is the Captain America that literally reports to the US Govt

      The DoD, so presumably answers to the military, in whatever specialist branch is superheroics.

      Ranks are... complicated and don't necessarily mean what people think I don't think it'd be implausible for someone in Captain America's unique situation to have a higher rank than he does but I don't think literally being a captain is unrealistic either

      Officially, the rank of captain is the highest company officer rank, the highest rank you could expect to be giving orders to enlisted troops as part of their regular duties The jump from captain to major is the jump from company officer to field officer

      Field officers are battalion-level command, most of their orders are given to company officers, not directly to enlisted men It's at the stage where you're clearly more "administrator" than "fighter", your job is to see the big picture

      I mean, this isn't a hard-and-fast rule People with special jobs often get ranks to match, because they need to give orders and be deferred to in the course of their duties (hence medical officers like Hawkeye Pierce and Hot Lips Houlihan get lofty ranks like Captain and Major)

          And of course, generals DO occasionally get in an engagement. But yeah, superheroes are like... WH40k Inquisitors, or medieval Ministerialis, or FF12 Judges. Their authority is designed to let them *ignore* other governing authorities and cut through the bullshit, not administer.

          So Steve's rank is basically "enough to tell everyone else to fuck off," but not enough to actually embed him into the command structure in a way that would bias him in favor of the military-industrial complex & state hierarchy. I think this is canon in the comics.

          And brevet promotions used to be far more common in the past (the equivalent of an honorary doctorate), someone having a higher rank than their actual operational rank basically as an extra-special medal (The US military has avoided doing this since the Civil War though)

          Like the Nazi sniper dude in Enemy at the Gates having been breveted as a major just because he's killed so many people Which, as a result, leads to his title just being "the Major", spoken with dread and awe (because no actual major should be doing his job)
