When they gave Steve Rogers his rank, they gave him a naval officer's commission. So he's naval Captain America, which is O-6 and equivalent to an army colonel. And if they promoted him into the admiralty, he'd be stuck behind a desk and he can't have that.
But, you know who really is? Captain Atom. Captain Nathaniel Christopher Adam of the United States Air Force. Out of all the heroes with captain in their name he's the only one that has that rank in the military. Carol Danvers is a Major
Didn't Carol get promoted to colonel?

I don't know, but the Army does owe him a whole lot of back pay. This was actually a plot point during Mark Gruenwald's run back in the 1980s. There was a story where Cap received a check from the govt for the back pay he was owed, which he used to create a 'hotline' ordinary citizens could call if they needed his help.

Was Captain Mar-Vell in the Kree military? And there's always the possibility that when Cap was thought dead they made him a real Captain posthumously. Yes, Mar-Vell is part of the Kree Military. Also in the films you see Steve get promoted to Captain. Senator Brandt: Then, congratulations. You just got promoted. After that point when not the starspangled man he wears a Captain's Uniform.

Originally she was a retired Major when Rogue sucked out her powers... in the Life of Captain Marvel, released last year, they retconned a bunch of stuff on her origin. Now she retired from the Air Force to join as the head of NASA's Security and was promoted to Colonel upon retirement, which happened before she even became Ms. Marvel.

Last I read she's a colonel. Yeah, but Col. Marvel doesnt have the same ring to it.

Yeah! And really, if we're talking about this, what about Iron Man? You're telling me, that this guy with that lasers shooting out of his palm and flying around with his fancy-pants AI, is wearing a suit made of... not even steel, but iron! Pah! Iron Man? That's kinda catchy. Not technically accurate, since it's a gold titanium alloy, but…

Dr. Doom didn't finish his PhD. How do you know? Latverian schooling is very secretive.

Dr. Doom didn't finish his PhD. He owns the school. He got that PhD the moment he decided he wanted it.

Dr. Doom didn't finish his PhD. He paid $20 to the Universal Life Church and got a Doctor of Metaphysics degree.
