About Bucky Barnes in brief
Bucky Barnes is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Originally introduced as a sidekick to Captain America, the character was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby and first appeared in Captain America Comics #1. The character is brought back from supposed death as the brainwashed assassin Winter Soldier. Sebastian Stan portrays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America The Winter Soldier, and Avengers: Infinity War. Stan will return to portray the role in the upcoming Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In 1990, co-creator Jack Kirby considered bringing Bucky back, before deciding against it. Roger Stern and John Byrne also considered bringing the character back, but decided against it, as they disliked the plot device of a minor hero sidekicks being brought back to life in such a way. Bucky’s death has been notable as one of the few comic book deaths that remained unreversed. In 2006, Uncle Ben turned out to be an alternate alternate version of Ben from another reality. In 2005, series writer Ed Brubaker returned Bucky from his seeming death near the end of World War II. In the post-war era, with the popularity of superheroes fading, Bucky appeared alongside team-leader Captain America in the two published adventures of TimelyMarvel’s first superhero group, the All-Winners Squad, in All Winners Comics #19 and #21.
He appeared in very occasional flashbacks from the 1960s on, and co-starred with CaptainAmerica in flashback World War Two adventures in Tales of Suspense #63–71. His apparent death was depicted in flashback in The Avengers #56. Bucky recovered and was briefly reunited with Captain America for an appearance in CaptainAmerica Comics #71, but otherwise did not appear for the rest of the run. After Bucky was shot and seriously wounded in Captain AMERICA Comics #66, he was succeeded by Captain America’s girlfriend Betsy Ross, who became the superhero Golden Girl. The original Captain America and Bucky were secretly replaced by then-U.S. President Harry S. Truman with successor heroes using those identities. In 1970s, the Marvel Universe has virtually no young sidekkicks, as no hero wants to endanger a minor kid sidekick in similar fashion in the 1970s. A pet peeves of mine has always been the young sidekick of the average superhero; he represents teenagers, and there are always a lot of teenagers in the comic book world. In 2000, Marvel co-founder Stan Lee said: “Speaking completely for myself, I wouldn’t bring Bucky in”; he answered: “I wouldn’t mind”; he said he didn’t want to endanger teenagers in any way, no matter how small. In 2009, Marvel announced that Bucky would appear in a new series of Captain America comics called Captain America #78. The series was discontinued with #78. In 2010, Marvel relaunched the series with #75.
