He actually got Cap to approve of him. Introduced by Captain America #178 (1974) by Steve Englehart and Sal Buscema, following Steve retirement as Captain America and becoming Nomad as well as two other people trying to take the role, Roscoe Simons was a mechanic and fan of Steve Rogers. Instead of just trying to take up the mantle, he instead sought out Steve Rogers, hoping to be trained by him. Falcon tried to dissuade him from becoming Cap, but Simons insisted on taking the mantle impressed Falcon and he began to train him. Simons took up the mantle and helped Falcon fight a few villains. However, when Simons stumbled upon the Red Skull operations, the villain crucified and killed Simons when he learnt that it wasn’t Steve Rogers. After Steve and Falcon found Simons body, Steve decided to retake the mantle against.

Simons would wear Cap’s classic suit so any figure of the Classic Captain America can be used as this character as well.
