Believed dead near the end of World War II only to have been found and brainwashed by the Soviets for the next 50 years, Captain America's former sidekick now continues to defend his country from the shadows against those who would threaten it as legendary spy and assassin, the Winter Soldier. He became the new Captain America to honor his friend Steve and he joined the Avengers. When Steve returned as Captain America, Bucky took on the identity of the Winter Soldier once again.
Ever since his youth, Bucky willingly in his heart wanted to save the lives of innocent people and defend his country, though he remembers many terrible things he had done when he first became the Winter Soldier. As a brainwashed assassin, he showed no regretful thoughts or feelings when he committed assassinations. Recently, Bucky's mind was restored and he regained his humanity. Bucky began to risk his life to protect the weak and led a team called the Thunderbolts, always using the determination of his character to support the good of mankind. He holds immense guilt surrounding his actions as the Winter Soldier and is committed to help others in getting a second chance like he has been given. He also has a slight sense of humor.

== Trivia ==
* Bucky used to be notable as one of the few comic book deaths that stuck. A frequent aphorism among comic book fans, known as the Bucky Clause, was that "No one in comics stays dead except Bucky, Jason Todd, and Uncle Ben". Ironically, both Bucky and Todd have been brought back to life in their respective universes.
** Bucky's death has also been used to explain why the Marvel Universe has very few kid sidekicks, as no responsible hero wanted to endanger a minor in similar fashion. Stan Lee also harbored a well-known dislike for young sidekicks in general.
** Roger Stern and John Byrne also considered bringing Bucky back, before deciding against it.
* During Incredible Hulk, there was a group of immortals called the Pantheon. Their leader, Agamemnon, was rumored by the readers to be Bucky, due to his appearance and his stories about his adventures during the World War II.
* In Dark Reign: The List - Avengers #1, Bucky stated he assassinated Hitler, although it is known that it was the original Human Torch from What If? #4 (in continuity) and Secret Avengers #23. Tom Brevoort confirmed many times it was in fact a joke from Bucky.
* It was revealed in Wolverine (Vol. 3) #38 that Bucky had a hand in helping Wolverine escape from the Weapon X program.
* The name Winter Soldier derives from the writing of Thomas Paine, the American revolutionary: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman" (The American Crisis, a pamphlet published in 1776).
