Who thought the name Captain Ancap was any good in the first place? Say that out out. It's a syllabic palindrome and just feels bad to say and sounds worse. Which is appropriate but like Ancapman. NAPtain Ancap would be at least sorta clever and give him a characteristic.
I removed punctuation. I use 'egad, alas, a salad age' pretty often at work when we get a flood of salad orders. You can use number 4 as an insult and get it going as a normal ohrase
It's pretty much always by accident if it's that awkward out loud. Especially in this case as a Superhero name. If you're making up a Superhero shouting "never fear (name) is here!" is a good test. If it sounds bad maybe change it
So is poetry, how words sound should stipple be considered in your writing. I didn't read Captain Ancap literally out loud, it sounded awkward in my head.

I thought palindromes were good because it allows the reader to assume it was planned
I'm also gonna use this as a chance to post my favorite real palindromes:
"Go deliver a dare vile dog"
"Borrow or rob"
"Egad alas a salad age"
"Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo"
Doc, note: I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod!
Nice!
Rats live on no evil star.
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog.
Do geese see god?
The first two are good, the second two are nonsense
Ok the 4th is an actual sentence, but such a specific context

The salad age is certainly a vibe
Syllabic palindromes are usually the opposite. They're generally tongue twisters to a point and always sound awkward.
The intentionality though, it displays creative use of language

Superheroes are from a written format though

Huh, the hard c into c gave it a symmetry my brain found pleasing despite the meaning. It rolls into itself.
The 'an-an' in the middle bugs me.
The an in captain is pronounced different tho, it’s not capt-an
Or am I pronouncing the an in ancap harder with the a than I should?
Depends on your accent. It's the same sound for me.
Makes sense
