Long thought to have been killed an action during World War II, James "Bucky" Barnes was in fact rescued and revived by Hydra forces. A mechanical arm grafted onto his body, and brainwashed in place to control his loyalty, the Winter Soldier was, for decades, kept in cryo-storage - thawed out only to pursue the most dangerous and difficult clandestine missions. After a recent confrontation with Captain America, Barnes's childhood friend, Bucky was able to shake his mental programming. He has since been on the run, searching for his identity and for revenge against the ones who corrupted him.
