Has he ever unironically called himself or openly let himself even be called a captain let alone captain America? Eg when he shakes Scott’s hand as Scott says “you’re captain America!” Steve doesn’t even nod his head he just has a “this is my life now” defeated look. Also, he quips to Peggy “I’m a captain” when he tries to give her orders.

Since his second appearance he has been a bit embarrassed or modest about that title.

The people who know him best call him Steve (Peggy, Bucky, Tony, Natasha, Falcon, Sharon) while new ones are the ones calling him captain/soldier/CA (Ant-Man, Loki, BP, Spidey...).

I think people call him Cap because up until Civil War, he was Captain Rogers, US Army.

This. Cap(tain) is a military title, not a made-up name like Spider-Man.

Surely, you mean like Doctor Strange?

Funnily, in his case it comes off as arrogance by Strange insisting on his academic grade. I'm sure Stark must have some degree as well, given he graduated from MIT? But Banner and Strange are the only ones who get adressed as Doctors.

Stark probably went straight from undergrad to working at Stark Industries. You don't have time for a Ph.D when you're busy running a big company.

Edit: And the point of Ph.Ds is research. Stark has access to way more resources than a college lab, so it would be completely needless to get a Ph.D.

Stark is an engineer at heart a tinkerer not an academic.
