The Winter Soldier

*During World War II, Bucky Barnes was Captain America’s teenage sidekick — brave, skilled, and fiercely loyal In one mission against Baron Zemo, Bucky tried to disarm a bomb on a plane but it exploded in midair. Captain America fell into the ocean and was frozen in ice… and Bucky was believed dead But decades later, it’s revealed that Bucky survived — though severely injured and missing his left arm He was found by the Soviet Union, brainwashed, given a cybernetic arm, and turned into the Winter Soldier, a deadly assassin kept in cryogenic sleep between missions For years, he carried out secret assassinations for the Soviets and HYDRA — without memory of who he truly was Eventually, Captain America (Steve Rogers) discovered Bucky was alive.
