There appears to be something of a trend in the CW shows, where (pretty much) everybody eventually becomes a superhero (unless they become a villain). Jimmy becoming the Guardian is just the most recent example. Previous ones include Diggle becoming Spartan, Cisco becoming Vibe, Laurel becoming Black Canary, Thea becoming Speedy, Hank Henshaw turning out to be J'onn J'onzz, Curtis Holt becoming Mister Terrific, Felicity becoming overwatch. Sure, some of them are superheroes in the comics, but that doesn't disprove the argument that all the shows main casts eventually becomes superheroes (it just means that you'll know from the start that they will).
So, it's probably just a matter of time before Winn (perhaps Alex and Iris too) finds a sudden urge to put on a suit and become a superhero himself. Though, being the son of a supervillain, he'd probably have a better motivation (trying to attone for his father's crimes or something) than Jimmy had.
Why Star-Spangled Kid? Well, during the fight with Parasite, Winn was seated in a truck marked "Star Spangled Delivery Co" and "since 1941" (the year the original Star-Spangled Kid made his debut), which they'll probably continue using. So, I figure, they'll eventually have Supergirl notice that Guardian is talking to someone and asks him who it is. And he replies something like "it's... um... [remembering the name on the truck] the Star-Spangled... Kid...". Don't know if they'd later have him "borrow" some stuff from the DEO (like I assume he did for the Guardian suit), to make himself a super suit, or not.
