Winter Soldier
Winter Soldier, whose real name is James
Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes, is a character
from Marvel Comics. He was originally
introduced as Bucky Barnes, the sidekick
to Captain America during World War II.
However, after his supposed death, he
was brought back as a brainwashed
assassin known as the Winter Soldier.
As the Winter Soldier, Bucky was an
elusive, dangerous, and amnesiac
assassin. He was ruthless, brutal, and
under the complete control of HYDRA.
After Steve Rogers reminded him of his
past, Bucky broke from his programming
and saved his friend and former target
from drowning.
Reformed by his friends, he now fights
alongside the Avengers. Despite his past
as a brainwashed assassin, Bucky Barnes
as the Winter Soldier has become a dark
hero in search of redemption. His
character has evolved over time, making
him one of the more complex and
interesting characters in the Marvel
Universe.
