Winter Soldier
Cold War killer
Winter Soldier refers to a fictional character in Marvel Comics—a brainwashed assassin who is eventually revealed to be Bucky Barnes, Captain America's presumed-dead sidekick.
The term also names the 1971 Winter Soldier Investigation, where Vietnam veterans testified about war crimes, itself alluding to Thomas Paine's "sunshine patriot and summer soldier" who abandons the cause when times get hard.
A winter soldier, by contrast, endures.
