How many people have been called Captain America in the mainstream Marvel Universe?

In the canon Marvel Universe (Earth-616) Steve Rogers (Captain America) has lost his super-soldier serum and has passed the mantle of Captain America to Sam Wilson (the Falcon).

There is great debate about the other characters who have been Captain America when Steve Rogers was either dead or incapacitated.

Can anyone tell me who those characters are and what years their run in the comics took place? I am looking for a definitive list of these individuals complete with costumes (if possible).

Note: While the site abhors list questions, I know this is a finite list of less than ten individuals.

Answer

TL;DR - 9 people have been called Captain America to-date

This information has been summarized from the excellent article on comicvine.

Steve Rogers - the original and the person who spends the most time as Captain America. Steve has primarily used two versions of the uniform.

Isaiah Bradley - another test subject for the super-soldier serum. He acts as a super-soldier after Steve was lost. He steals Steve's extra suit and shield and uses it on one mission and is then arrested and court martialed for doing so. It should be noted that he was never officially titled as Captain America, but was considered to be "the Black Captain America" by reputation.

Isaiah Bradley as Cap.

In 1953 William Burnside finds the super-soldier serum and undergoes plastic surgery to look like Steve Rogers, but the project is cancelled and he becomes a teacher. He later meets Jack Monroe and the two use the serum to become Captain America and Bucky respectively. However, due to not using the Vita-Ray process in conjunction with the serum, they go insane. The government shuts them down and places them in suspended animation. Burnside wears the classic uniform.

After Steve is apparently assassinated following the Civil War, Tony Stark follows Steve's instructions in a letter and finds and saves Bucky Barnes. Bucky becomes Captain America and remains as such even after Steve returns to the present time. Bucky is the first new Captain to wear a significantly redesigned uniform.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

How do Pokemon trainers collect their winnings?

According to Bulbapedia , Prize money is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. So we know that the money comes directly from the trainer that just lost, and not some third-party committee or sponsor. But how is this done? It can be easy seeing the random trainers who challenge you along the way wanting to wager and then, after admitting defeat, sticking to their word and handing over their hard-earned pokebucks. Then there are the likes of Team Rocket and Giovanni, who also give money once they lose. This doesn't seem like something people in a criminal organization would willingly do. From this it appears that trainers have no say in whether or not they cough up the dough after losing, but I can't find anything on how exactly the funds are transferred from loser to winner. So how do Pokemon trainers receive their winnings?
