Do you think there were people who claimed that they saw Captain America after the Valkyrie crash? Like how people claim to see the Jersey Devil or Mothman or Bigfoot. Do you think there was a whole legend lasting from 1945-2010 about how he lost his mind because of the crash and now he lives in the Arctic wilderness wrestling polar bears.

Or that like he was abducted by aliens and that’s why no one ever found the Valkyrie for sixty-six years.

If you look in a mirror with a single candle lit and recite the Pledge of Allegiance three times Captain America appears and grants you a wish, but only if you’re pure in heart; if he deems you unworthy you’ll die in seven days.

“Captain America went to live at the North Pole and he’ll tell Santa if you’ve been naughty, so you better behave.”

Did Cap’s ghost supposedly haunt some tourist trap hotel in Greenland somewhere?

I desperately need Cryptid!Captain America like

One of my enduring headcanons is that Cryptid!Captain America happened during Steve’s post-Avengers road trip. The country barely knows anything about him at this point, his face was covered the whole time he was fighting aliens in New York and I doubt SHIELD would be giving press conferences about him while Steve was ducking their calls by running off to Iowa, so the story that Cap, Original Flavor™ is back from the dead probably hasn’t spread yet. 

So what you’re left with is a beefy blond dude who’s scrupulously polite, has the weirdest old-fashioned mannerisms, doesn’t know how technology works, and has actual superpowers, making his way across the good ol’ US of A. Imagine a group of road-tripping college students posting a video of Incredibly Jacked Dude just casually lifting up the back of their car and holding it while they change a flat tire. Imagine a string of long-haul truckers all radioing each other about the guy keeping pace with their convoy who hasn’t slept in 48 hours and ate three whole cherry pies at their last diner stop. Imagine a forum of Cryptid!Cap watchers obsessively tracking his movements and staking out  roadside motels when he gets close, hoping for a glimpse of this BIZARRE guy who is VERY PROBABLY AN ALIEN, SHUT UP JARED, NOBODY BUYS YOUR SASQUATCH THEORY, MAKE YOUR OWN THREAD OR SHUT UP ABOUT IT.
