Things about Captain America that didn't make it into the MCU

Captain America was created in 1941 by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. Since his revival in the Marvel Comics Universe in 1963, he's been one of its cornerstones, both as an Avenger and in his various solo titles. When Cap was adapted for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there was a lot of story to choose from. To the credit of the MCU's writers and directors, they brought in a lot of important components and storylines from Cap's mythos. There was the shield, his best friend Bucky Barnes, the Howling Commandos, Peggy and Sharon Carter, the Red Skull, Batroc the Leaper, Crossbones, Zemo, the Falcon, HYDRA, Arnim Zola, and more. 

The MCU also adapted two of the biggest recent Cap storylines. Captain America: The Winter Soldier revealed that Bucky didn't die in World War II. He was captured, brainwashed, and turned into a Soviet assassin. When he wasn't activated, he was kept in suspended animation. Captain America: Civil War found a bitter Zemo masterminding a scheme to get Cap and Iron Man to fight over the Winter Soldier and the very nature of superheroics. 

However, Captain America had a lot of other adventures in the comics that haven't surfaced in the films, and it's doubtful that they ever will. Some of them were absurd, some of them were a result of years of serialized storytelling, and many were a result of trying to flesh out the character of Steve Rogers. Here's a look at some of the most notable elements left behind in the comics.

I'd love to see the 1950's Cap incorporated

I know they sure didn't adapt the "Captain America...Commie Smasher" comics.
