Bucky Barnes—Winter Soldier

One of the most loyal characters in the MCU, Bucky is another soldier out of time. He's also going to be one of the main characters of Civil War, by the look of it. Can't wait to see more of him in action; it's gonna help me round out his build.

Sergeant James Barnes was a soldier during World War II and has been friends with Steve Rogers since they were young. Once the U.S. entered the European theater, Bucky joined up in the 107th, serving as an excellent marksman and fairly high ranking NCO. Unfortunately, the 107th was almost wholly taken prisoner and held at one of HYDRA's R&D facilities. Bucky was forced to assist in the manufacturing of HYDRA weapons, and later was taken by Arnim Zola—Red Skull's chief scientist—for experimentation, attempting to recreate the legendary super-soldier serum.

Some time later, Captain America raided the facility, rescuing Bucky and over 400 other men. Steve quickly recruited Bucky, along with a few others, to serve as Howling Commandos—Cap's private squad specializing in sabotaging HYDRA operations. After nearly a year with the Howling Commandos, Bucky was tossed out of a train and down a cliff on a mission to kidnap Zola.

After Bucky was tossed from the train, however, HYDRA operatives found the still-living Bucky and began to experiment on him. They amputated his arm, replacing it with a powerful cybernetic replacement, pumped his system full of drugs and chemicals, and tried their hardest to make Bucky their ace in the hole. Throughout this process, Bucky had his memories wiped over and over, brainwashed until he complied with HYDRA's commands.

Before Bucky—now known as the Winter Soldier—was deployed for his first assassination, the soviet star was painted onto his cybernetic arm to throw people off of HYDRA's trail. Over the years, he was left in cryostasis until his services were required. Once his job was done, his mind was wiped and he was placed back into cryo until he was to be called upon again.

During the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Winter Soldier was called out once again to assassinate Nick Fury, and afterwards sent to hunt down the recently resurrected Captain America to make sure that Project: INSIGHT launched. On his mission, he killed at least several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and a handful of civilians, but after the destruction of the helicarriers, Bucky appeared to be regaining his memories.

He was last seen in early 2014, going underground to evade the authorities and learn who he really is.
