The Winter Soldier: The Origin of Bucky Barnes

[@speedracer1945]

We must thank Jack Kirby for inventing Bucky and later Ed Brubaker for creating the Winter Soldier. Both are great reading .

[@bradpara]

Fact: Only a few years ago Bucky Barnes was one of three characters, along with Jason Todd and Ben Parker who were essentially declared off limits for any resurrection plots because their deaths were seen as important to the arcs the Characters surrounding them that bringing them back would cheapen them. In 2021only Uncle Ben is still dead The fact the both Marvel not only brought back Bucky, but made it work is indeed amazing

[@jaycurtis5036]

It is because continuity means nothing anymore, and the comic companies wonder why readership continues to decline. You also forgot Barry Allen whose sacrifice in Crisis on Infinite Earths was essential for the survival of the universe, now cheaply tossed aside.

[@AbsoluteX.F]

Batmans parents:

[@blacksmoke6292]

@@AbsoluteX.F Thomas Wayne did became Batman in the Flashpoint universe while Martha became the Joker. But I kind of guess it still counts since they weren't used compared to Jason Todd and Bucky.

[@AbsoluteX.F]

@@blacksmoke6292 yeah but not anymore plus the fact that they didn't die in that story affected Bruce cause he was the one who died instead

One of the quickest ways to die is be a superhero's parent

[@TheeKingRayzor]

This is one heck of a character arc.

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think happened to Bucky Barnes's sister when Bucky was training in Camp Lehigh? Was he able to keep in touch with her?

[@ruby3200]

@Quentin Fogger. His sister sent him letters often, but he had so much guilt about being separated from her he never wrote back. When his memories were later restored, he visited his sister (now old and suffering with Alzheimer’s disease) often. You can read about it in Captain America and Bucky issue #624 by Ed Brubraker published November 23 2011. It’s on Marvel Unlimited.

[@DIEGhostfish]

​@Ruby So sad, really horrible.

[@JasonAlredge]

This was a terrific origin story!

[@guillermomichelgonzalez4824]

Never got to read the expanded origin of Bucky, thanks for expanding my knowledge on his story. Another great video once again well done sir!

[@vincentfranklin17]

I have a huge amount of respect for Bucky as a result of this video! Thanks!

[@JasonAlredge]

I wonder if you are going to do a video of the origin of Captain America? That would be so great to know more about Steve Rogers' background.

[@davidMRherobetts]

This was a great video. It covered the entire history of the character from the early 1960s to current and back again. giving a complete origin of the character from different writer's perspectives to where we know him today. Riding the Captain America vibe how about agent Sharon from shield

[@randyping6036]

Brubaker really knocked it out of the park.

[@speedracer1945]

Seems many people here never read his comics .

[@juniorberns]

Stan is awesome.

[@basicgruve]

Thank you for ALL of these dives into the Marvel Universe, great vids!!! 👏👏👏

[@craziboi1096]

I remember someone saying something like bucky would ruin the captain america mantle he looked up to him in the comics and wanted to help others just like Steve this is what I also wanted to see in falcon in the winter soldier for both of them to hold the mantle but marvel didn't do that

[@commonman3248]

Great timing of this video because Falcon & winter Soldier is out! I am getting ready to watch it again with a different and more magnified perspective!

[@9thwonderboy]

Great work! Very well put together!

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the video. Much ❤ as always

[@dantewaters84]

Barnes not burns

[@johndoolan3428]

I never understood why they kept the Russian part of WS background. It makes sense that the Russians would want their own super soldier.

[@speedracer1945]

Read Ed Brubaker's comics.

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

The original origin is better. The pre-Lehigh part of the new one is still acceptable though.

[@donaldclay9535]

Thanks for the Update.

[@trexadvent4726]

Merry Marvelite, this video is awesome. Which version of the Winter Soldier do you think is better between the one from the comics and the one from the MCU?

[@madhabfr]

I like aspects of both. I think making Bucky the same age as cap made so much more sense than making him a 16 year old kid, but I like most everything else except for the whole rocket thing.

[@stebaer]

Now here's a very good follow-up of Bucky Barnes and beyond my own expectations too.But do even further research for other Buckys including the one of the 1950s,Rick Jones a temporary successor in the 1960s as well as various others including when The Falcon was even temporarily in the role too.But anyhow I'm glad to see here how the original bacy has further data beyond many peoples' expectations including even those of my own as well.

[@osiawideman4851]

I kinda always favored Bucky over Robin, Speedy or any of the sidekicks of the past

[@TheTiger2311]

Well told MerryMarvelite !How about the original of Bro.Vodoo?

[@Canucklehead1884]

Could you please do one for Sabretooth?

[@jaycurtis5036]

For years Bucky was supposed to remain forever dead and any hint that some one was planning on his return was met with great anger by fans. Barry Allen was also thought of in his way then poof all of a sudden all of that was forgotten. Worse I think it is tragic that his past was retconned to change him into an uncontrolled violent punk that was harnessed by the government and forced on Captain America. What is wrong with having truly good heroes. Every hero has to be dark and partially sinister. I saw this starting with the popularity of Wolverine and the Punisher and all Heroes were dragged down by this.

[@jontomustalent575]

[@andrewt6338]

I liked the idea where they don't know exactly what he is. How does a man live for decades and age two years or so? Plus the parallel the both him and Steve are both winter soldiers in a way.

[@johnnygyro2295]

In hindsight, I'm surprised they didn't go with the Bucky-Natasha romance in the MCU.

Can we please have The Origin of The Red skull

[@georgetinker1292]

My only question: Did Bucky join the army? I was never sure about it. It seems he was always plugged into things being an army brat. But,did he find time to enlist?

[@ruby3200]

@George Tinker. He somewhat enlisted when he became Captain America’s sidekick.

[@georgetinker1292]

@@ruby3200 I guess that makes sort of sense. Because he did clandestine wetwork. Having him enlist would've had a paper trail on him.

[@ruby3200]

@George Tinker. Exactly! Bucky as a soldier in WW2 was all about secrecy and covert operations. AKA sneaking into enemy territory and doing the dirty work. Because Steve couldn’t handle doing it, and Steve as Captain America, had to keep a clean image for public propaganda.

[@ruby3200]

LOL I’m a Bucky fanatic. I absolutely love the character! I fell in love with Ed Brubrakers run on Captain America and his love for Bucky wore off on to me. I love going fan girl about Ed comics any chance someone wants to talk about his run,Captain America, Bucky, or Marvel in general.😂

[@georgetinker1292]

@@ruby3200 yes. I became interested the same way. The fact that he was Cap's sidekick and was secretly a green beret was cool.

[@NegaHumanX]

[@Jamesalec63]

Didn't know Steve Rogers smoked anyone notice this, I am guessing this was early days for our Capt America but a pipe just how old is Steve in those days during the war? Thought he was a bit older than Bucky 19/23 or something Bucky was still 17+ but he looked younger around 12 in the picture of he and cap. One thing forgotten is the process that gave him his physical powers also aged him slightly he looked older than he was by a year or two. I did recall a fact once Bucky was given a formual that inhenced his strength and it worked for a while and later wore off or he thought it did affect his mental health later and he discovered the formual he had taken was made by a scientist who was working for the Red Skull there's a significant connection to this and Peter Parkers parents? But i think the unusual thing is cap was a pipe smoking soldier, and a super soldier it could have affected him in someway or not but his health is excellent as he is healthy and he has survived death and laser blasts being frozen in ice and transformed into a werewolf and became a symbiote and lived through a war of zombies well in a alternate timeline and his still a good. So why did he own a pipe and does he still own it? We know Sgt Fury smoked but his son doesn't? Wolverine smokes a healing factor, did Black Widow smoke I think she did once? Ross the Red Hulk definitely did red fire, generally he did as General Ross he served during the ww2 so many he met cap and Bucky?

[@CaptainFrost32]

In the WWII years, tobacco was made available to all soldiers. It would not even be an afterthought. When Captain America was revived by the Avengers, I don't recall his continued tobacco habits, though he was around smokers for years.

[@CordellPotts]

@@CaptainFrost32 Even nonsmokers smoked cigs in WWII, Alot of stress, alot of sitting and waiting in trenches.

[@Jamesalec63]

@@CaptainFrost32 Yes agree but I imagine the comics advertising smoking back in the early days was practical part of how they would be get sales as a bonus but if children read these books surely this upset they parents seeing tobacco adverts through super heroes using it and other things but it amazes me that someone like cap puffing a pipe I know other cartoon characters did but the icon of Marvel is helping selling tobacco? I guess that was then and Marvel has changed they values on the details like this mostly and they think about who buys their comics and act accordingly but often let things slip through as a result of sales in their comics or movies? Very weird but true Stan Lee smoked so perhaps that way?

[@CaptainFrost32]

@@Jamesalec63 The artwork shown in the video was NOT advertising. Timely Comics did not have tobacco ads. The Flintstones cartoons were sponsored originally by a tobacco company decades later. The Fantastic Four cartoon was not allowed to use The Human Torch out of parental concerns that kids would douse themselves in fuel and light up. H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot was created as a tv replacement. Even the Comic Code Authority did not prevent characters from using cigars, cigarettes, and pipes. Societal changes through the decades were reflected in the comic books.

[@Jamesalec63]

@@CaptainFrost32 Yes t that is true and no comic were used advert to sell tobacco I know you are right but it wasn't that I meant it is farely odd that a comic to have a hero do something like smoking of course it isn't real it is just the sign of the times a likely way then to give a character something very human treats thus Steve Rogers was a smoker present times he doesn't a healthier approach today. Of Timely Comics-Marvel Publications they provide entertainment and lite adverts for kids.
