* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Played with. Women will once in a while express attraction to Bucky due to his reputation as the Winter Soldier, but he is decidedly not a bad boy. |

* [[Artificial Limbs]]: The Soviets replaced the arm he lost in [[World War 2]] with a cybernetic one, which has a lot of handy abilities, such as an [[EMP]]. It also allows him to handle and throw [[Captain America]]'s shield properly. |

* [[Anti |
* [[Anti-Hero Substitute]]: Bucky as [[Captain America]] subverts this, sort of. He's a [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type 1]], so he doesn't carry the same connotations this trope usually does. |
||
** [[Classical Antihero]]: Despite being a good person at heart and genuinely wanting to do right by his country, he is plagued by his desire to [[The Atoner|make up for the wrongs he did as the Winter Soldier]] and by doubts as to whether or not he can actually do the mantle justice. |

** Now it's down to just Uncle Ben, as DC brought back Jason Todd at almost the exact same time Marvel brought back Bucky. |

* [[Deep |
* [[Deep-Cover Agent]]: The Winter Soldier often served this role during the [[Cold War]]; he could easily pass for an American, because he actually was one. Bouts of [[Becoming the Mask]], or rather, [[Fighting From the Inside]], in his case, while on mission, led to his superiors' decision to place him in [[Sealed Badass in A Can|suspended animation between missions]]. |

** [[Neuro Vault]]: In his last appearance as [[Captain America]] {{spoiler|before his supposed second death}} it was revealed that the reason why he was extradited to Russia was because he had information on how to locate and activate a team of [[Deep-Cover Agent|Deep Cover Agents]] much like the Winter Soldier subconsciously sealed in his mind, and [[Renegade Russian|the warden]] of his gulag had plans for this information. |

* [[Depending On the Artist]]: Is his gun a .45 or a Luger? |

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Just like his partner and the original Cap, he's no slouch in defeating foes way more powerful than himself. Of particular note is his takedown of [[Dark Avengers|Ares, Greek God of War]] in the pages of [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|New Avengers]]. |

* [[Kid Sidekick]]: Originally, but eventually subverted by the [[Ed Brubaker]] [[Retcon]], which revealed him to be handpicked by the Army to accompany Cap and perform wetworks missions. |

* [[Multi Ranged Master]]: As [[Captain America]], but only because [[Throwing Your Shield Always Works|the shield]] is a [[Precision-Guided Boomerang]]. He often uses it in conjunction with his pistol, which [[Depending On the Artist|may or may not be]] a heavily modified P08 Luger. |

* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Steve regarded Bucky's supposed death at the end of [[World War 2]] as this for a long time after his revival in the modern day. |

** [[My Greatest Second Chance]]: After finding out of Bucky's survival and freeing the guy from Soviet brainwashing, Steve felt that he should do everything in his power to keep Bucky alive and a good man. This apparently meant persuading [[Sidekick Graduations Stick|Bucky to keep the]] [[Captain America]] mantle even after his own [[Back From the Dead|return from the dead]]. |

* [[Nineties Anti |
* [[Nineties Anti-Hero]]: Subverted. Bucky had the look, some of the attitude, but was a good guy through and through. |

* [[Not Quite Dead]]: {{spoiler|Getting stabbed with Sin's hammer left him [[Only Mostly Dead]], and he was later revived through intensive medical care and the use of [[Nick Fury]]'s Infinity Formula. His death [[Faking the Dead|was faked]] by [[Black Widow (Comic Book)|Black Widow]] who planted an [[Actually a Doombot|LMD with injuries identical to his]], and left it to be buried as a hero in Arlington, absolving him of the charges set against him during his time in prison}}. |

** [[Faking the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Only [[Captain America|Steve Rogers]], [[Black Widow (Comic Book)|Black Widow]], and [[Nick Fury]] know of his survival, because if word got out that he's still alive, it's back to the gulag for him.}} |
