** Finally explained {{spoiler|, sort of, in [[Fear Itself (Comic Book)|Fear Itself 7.1]], where it's revealed that he's [[Not Quite Dead]], and will be returning to his Winter Soldier identity. As the ''Captain America and Bucky'' story eventually revealed, he was doing some catching up with his now-aged sister.}}
* [[Red Baron]]: Nobody knew him by name when he was operating as the Winter Soldier, not even his own Soviet superiors.
* [[Redemption Demotion]]: When Bucky was reintroduced as the Winter Soldier, he was presented as a cold, unerring, and efficient assassin who could eliminate the Red Skull without even batting an eyelash. [[My God, What Have I Done?|After regaining his memories]] and subsequently taking on the [[Captain America]] mantle, while he did fairly well, he showed an over-reliance on [[Indy Ploy|Indy Ploys]] and a [[Distressed Dude in Distress|tendency to end up being saved by his buddies from harm]].
* [[Renegade Russian]]: Aleksander Lukin, CEO of [[Mega Corp|Kronas]]. The discovery of the Winter Soldier's existence was due to Lukin recommissioning the Soldier after decades of [[Suspended Animation]] since the end of the [[Cold War]] to acquire the Cosmic Cube and enact a plan to use the Cube and Kronas to destroy the American economy from within. He is a protege of the Soviet officer who had Bucky brainwashed in the first place.
* [[Retcon]]: [[Ed Brubaker]]'s retooling of the Bucky character into a teen assassin, [[Brainwashed and Crazy|brainwashed]] into becoming a Soviet agent after secretly surviving [[World War 2]], paving the way for his reintroduction into modern day comics is often hailed as one of the most well done Retcons in recent history.
