James "Bucky" Barnes was a orphaned kid who took part in an intensive Black Ops training to become the partner of Steve Rogers, A.K.A. Captain America, during the World War II.

Throughout the war, Cap and Bucky fought alongside infantry and with a group of heroes known as the Invaders, as well as other groups of younger heroes. In the closing months of World War II, Captain America and Bucky were both presumed dead in an explosion over the English Channel.

It was learned that Bucky was revived and brainwashed by Soviets as the assassin Winter Soldier. With the help of Captain America, he recovered his memory and after the apparent murder of Rogers, Bucky took the mantle of Captain America. Although Steve Rogers returned, Bucky remained as Captain America. After Bucky was almost killed by Red Skull's daughter, Sin, he decided to fake his death and secretly return to his role as the Winter Soldier, with his lover, Black Widow.
