James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes is a [[Marvel Comics]] character. He first appeared in ''Captain America Comics'' #1 (March, 1941), created by Joe Simon and [[Jack Kirby]]. Bucky was originally the camp mascot at the base where Steve Rogers, the first [[Captain America (comics)]] was stationed, and when he stumbled upon Steve changing out of the costume, Steve was forced to take him on as a sidekick. Bucky's wartime adventures would come to an end when he and Captain America tried to sabotage a drone bomb bound for the US. While Captain America survived and plunged into the icy waters of the Arctic to [[Human Popsicle|be discovered decades later]] by [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]], Bucky was thought dead when the drone bomb exploded with him on board. His death continued to haunt Captain America after the latter's revival in the present. |

And then in 2006, [[Ed Brubaker]] started writing a new volume of ''Captain America'', and the way the world saw Bucky was changed forever. While once viewed as a joke of a character, he was retconned to be a 17-year-old highly-trained commando assigned by the Army to be [[Captain America (comics)]]'s sidekick to counter the Hitler Youth, but also to serve as a covert assassin, performing operations that Captain America himself could never be seen doing; what was initially believed to be his origin was simply a cover story cooked up by the Army press. Instead of dying due to the drone, he instead lost his left arm and a fair chunk of his memory. He survived submersion in the Atlantic Ocean only to be later picked up by a Russian submarine hoping to rescue Cap for the Allies. While he'd lost memories of his life experiences, [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|he retained skills honed through instinct, including his combat training]], and was thus [[Brainwashed and Crazy|molded]] into a Soviet assassin as sort of a sick joke by a humiliated Russian officer. As The Winter Soldier, he went on to become a [[Shrouded in Myth|legend of]] the [[Cold War]], performing acts of terrorism and sabotage on US soil under Soviet orders. |
