[edit] Winter Soldier shb
If Bucky is indeed really the WS, should a picture of him as the WS replace the main shb image? --DrBat 00:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- My view is no, because the original Bucky costime is more linked with the character - the WS isn't calling himself Bucky, and the article is titled Bucky, not the Winter Soldier, after all. The picture of the WS in its own section is probably the better location for it. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 01:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Winter Soldier's ID is unconfirmed at present time
According to the writer himself:
- In 2005 issues of Captain America, it was revealed that Bucky may be alive. As series writer Ed Brubaker told an interviewer, "Well, it sure seems like it's Bucky, doesn't it? Of course, people have seemed to be Bucky in the past and turned out not to be, haven't they?" Newsarama: "Did He, or Didn't He? Ed Brubaker on Captain America #6"
Please stop reverting qualifiers regarding the possibility of Bucky being the Winter Soldier. The intel gathered by SHIELD (which does not, BTW, confirm the WS's ID) could be false. Disseminating false information to the other side is part of what the intelligence community calls "tradecraft." Or have we forgotten the false intel about WMDs that led us into a war?
Moreover, Cap used the Cosmic Cube to make the Winter Soldier "remember who he was." The Cosmic Cube is a virtually omnipotent, reality-altering device. Cap, out of his own guilt, may have very we;; unconsciously used the Cube to make the Winter Soldier believe he was Bucky, memories (from Cap) and all. That certainly seems a valid interpretation, and goes along with what Brubaker wrote and his caginess in the interview above.
If you're going to revert, pls register and come to this Discussion page. That's the Wiki way. — Tenebrae 03:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Winter Soldier's ID is confirmed
Saw that someone inserted a confirmation by Brubaker. Thanks for the citation!! I've already reverted my edits, so all references consistently confirm Bucky = Winter Soldier. Cheerio! -- Tenebrae 01:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not the lawyer, I guess....
Hmmmmm......I'm guessing this article about James "Bucky" Buchanan Barnes has nothing to do with famous Las Vegas lawyer James "Bucky" Buchanan?

[edit] The Winter Soldier (search)
I noticed that Wikipedia doesn't redirect to this article or Show it in a list of search results when "the Winter Soldier" (capitalized in any fashion or simply lowercase completely) is typed into the search bar. Perhaps something should be done about this? Ace Class Shadow 06:42, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- I've created a disambiguation page at Winter Soldier and a redirect at The Winter Soldier to it. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 07:18, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origins
Shouldn't Bucky's origins be updated to the Brubaker ones? I don't do it cause i'm not an expert, but someone should try to mix the two without contradicting the new ones, that, being the latest, are also for now the "truer". Admenom
[edit] Aphorism
The aphorism mentioned at the bottom also includes Gwen Stacy. Notable that two of the characters are the ones that shaped Spider-Man's character. Anyway... I think Gwen Stacy goes in that list of people who stay dead.
[edit] President Acrobat
Is there a source for the claim that President Buchanan was an acrobat (and hence Bucky's name)? While this history could, of course, just be in the Marvel Universe, I can't find any real-world reference to it and would be curious to see a footnote in the article sourcing it in the comics.

[edit] Winter Soldier
He's all grown up now, time for him to move out and get his own place. --Basique 22:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
