Talk:Bucky (Marvel Comics)

message: If Bucky is indeed really the WS, should a picture of him as the WS replace the main shb image? --DrBat 00:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My view is no, because the original Bucky costime is more linked with the character - the WS isn't calling himself Bucky, and the article is titled Bucky, not the Winter Soldier, after all. The picture of the WS in its own section is probably the better location for it. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 01:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Winter Soldier shb 

message: According to the writer himself:
:In 2005 issues of Captain America, it was revealed that Bucky may be alive. As series writer Ed Brubaker told an interviewer, "Well, it sure seems like it's Bucky, doesn't it? Of course, people have seemed to be Bucky in the past and turned out not to be, haven't they?" Newsarama: "Did He, or Didn't He? Ed Brubaker on Captain America #6"
Please stop reverting qualifiers regarding the possibility of Bucky being the Winter Soldier. The intel gathered by SHIELD (which does not, BTW, confirm the WS's ID) could be false. Disseminating false information to the other side is part of what the intelligence community calls "tradecraft." Or have we forgotten the false intel about WMDs that led us into a war? 
Moreover, Cap used the Cosmic Cube to make the Winter Soldier "remember who he was." The Cosmic Cube is a virtually omnipotent, reality-altering device. Cap, out of his own guilt, may have very we;; unconsciously used the Cube to make the Winter Soldier believe he was Bucky, memories (from Cap) and all. That certainly seems a valid interpretation, and goes along with what Brubaker wrote and his caginess in the interview above.
If you're going to revert, pls register and come to this Discussion page. That's the Wiki way. — Tenebrae 03:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Saw that someone inserted a confirmation by Brubaker. Thanks for the citation!! I've already reverted my edits, so all references consistently confirm Bucky =  Winter Soldier. Cheerio! -- Tenebrae 01:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I noticed that Wikipedia doesn't redirect to this article or Show it in a list of search results when "the Winter Soldier" (capitalized in any fashion or simply lowercase completely) is typed into the search bar. Perhaps something should be done about this? Ace Class Shadow 06:42, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Winter Soldier (search) 

message: The aphorism mentioned at the bottom also includes Gwen Stacy. Notable that two of the characters are the ones that shaped Spider-Man's character. Anyway... I think Gwen Stacy goes in that list of people who stay dead.
: I was coming here to discuss that very thing. See, this "aphorism" or what-not has no "official" wording; there is no definitive version of it. Yes, I have seen Gwen Stacy used for the aphorism (and so far, only clones of her have walked Earth-616 since her murder -- right?) and of course, Uncle Ben has stayed dead in the mainstream Marvel Universe, but Jason Todd and Bucky ... They lost their place in this aphorism quite some time ago! The aphorism is so compromised and dead, I think we should stop putting it into articles (except the actual Comic book death article). It's in quite a lot of articles, currently.
:BTW, I have the story with the alternate-universe Uncle Ben being dropped into the mainstream MU by a devilish, female, future "Hobgoblin" from the year 2211. It was in the short-lived comic titled Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. This alternate Ben Parker was swiftly murdered by an evil, inhuman "Chameleon", also from the year 2211. It's a decent story, but you have to start reading it in a FNSM TPB, then switch over to the Spider-Man: Back in Black TPB to finish reading it. The fun is mostly in Spider-Man reluctantly joining forces with Flint Marko, the Sandman. I'll end my digressions now. --Ben Culture (talk) 06:05, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aphorism 

message: Is there a source for the claim that President Buchanan was an acrobat (and hence Bucky's name)? While this history could, of course, just be in the Marvel Universe, I can't find any real-world reference to it and would be curious to see a footnote in the article sourcing it in the comics.

replies: text: And the primary picture should be Bucky's most notable, not most recent. --SparqMan 13:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

text: It's the same character, so in following the WP:CMC guides, it's the same article, with a name that covers all versions, if possible. And yes, a picture as Bucky belongs as the main picture. --Chris Griswold  (☎☓) 21:55, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: C-Class rated for Comics Project

message: Because this character has had three different aliases in the past four years, I am of the opinion that it should be renamed to something like James "Bucky" Barnes, or James Barnes (comics). Bucky can be devoted to the various carriers of the name, similarly to what stands with the Robin (comics) and Kid Flash articles. Thoughts? --CmdrClow (talk) 05:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Have to agree with this. It should be like the Dick Grayson article. It's a character that has grown and had multiple identities he shouldn't just be recognized only as Bucky. Besides, according to Marvel Comics he's going to stay Captain America for a long while.Vaf2675 (talk) 20:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I recommend that as a new pic for the infobox, as it show Bucky in his classic WWII getup, as Winter Soldier, and as Cap. It's the cover to Captain America #600 by Steve Epting.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.111.155.128 (talk) 20:57, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: I have reverted back the article to a version which makes much more sense now with the separe Bucky Barnes article. I hope people will stop adding back all the surperflous material which belongs in that article. There is no need to have the exact same text in two different places. Someone said that there was material which didn't have anything to do with that which was removed but I have checked and I couldn't find any, if there was, add it back, not everything.★Trekker (talk) 13:36, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  A split happened, since no one did anything about the new article I will accept that.
