I suspected Peter Parker from "but to poor or wimpy kids in New York", which made me think two things:
1) The writer must've been a poor and wimpy kid from New York. 2) The writer is an actual character, not just a point of view for the reader.
So, Spiderman. :D I was a little less certain once Captain America told his story of meeting Spiderman on the helicarrier, but I was ultimately proved right.
When I reread it, the musing about other superheroes in New York really jumped out.
"Some people are shy," Captain Rogers says. "I've met Spider-man. He says he'd rather work alone. I guess he's got family to protect."
...
"I offered to arrange a real tour for him and said if he was half as good as people talked about, he ought to consider stopping by the Tower to meet everyone. He said no thanks, and lit out of there like his shoes were on fire once I let him go."
...
"I doubt he'll lurk again anytime soon. I think I gave him a pretty good scare," Rogers replies, looking amused. "But I promise if he comes around I'll tell teacher. Anyway, you can tell your readers, I know he's real," he says to me.
In my head, that was Captain America telling Peter Parker that he knows, and he's willing to keep it a secret. I also suspect Tony Stark knows, due to the wine bottle toss.
