Winter Soldiers

The Winter Soldiers were HYDRA's elite group of assassins that were administered with Howard Stark's version of the Super Soldier Serum. Due to the mental side effects caused by Stark's serum, the Winter Soldiers were all kept in cryostasis at the HYDRA Siberian Facility, during which they were killed by Helmut Zemo.
==History==
===Creation of the Winter Soldiers===
The Winter Soldiers were formed by HYDRA of an elite group of assassins who possessed the highest kill count out of all the assets HYDRA possessed even before being enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum. They were injected with the Serum to replicate the Winter Soldier himself.
Barnes was tasked to train the Winter Soldiers to see if they could overpower him, meaning the experiments were a success. To the delight of HYDRA, it was. However, the Winter Soldiers, except for Barnes, lost control and started a riot, resulting in all of them being put under deep sleep in Cryostasis Chambers.
===Zemo's Plan===
The Winter Soldiers were found in 2016, by Helmut Zemo, whom Captain America and Iron Man believed was looking for them to turn them into weapons for his own agenda. However, Zemo executed all the Winter Soldiers by shooting them each in the head, as his true intention was to lure the Avengers to the HYDRA Siberian Facility and force them to fight with each other.

**Regenerative Healing Factor: Their bodies are able to heal with extraordinary speed and efficiency beyond a regular human being.
