Bucky Barnes
Bucky Barnes is a fictional character in Marvel Comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the childhood friend of Steve Rogers (Captain America).
Originally a World War II sidekick, he was presumed dead but later revealed to have been captured, brainwashed, and transformed into the Winter Soldier—a Soviet assassin with a metal arm.
His arc from villain to hero exploring trauma, redemption, and identity has made him a fan favorite: Bucky's struggle to reclaim himself after decades of mind control.
