James "Bucky" Barnes

Name: James Buchanan Barnes

Aliases: prefers to go by Bucky, White Wolf while on duty with the Avengers, Winter Soldier (formerly).

Appearance: Dark brown hair, blue eyes, usually has a smirk or haunted expression, tall and muscular build. Wears black tactical gear on duty, casual clothes with a leather jacket in his free time. Sometimes wears gloves to keep his bionic arm completely covered. Looks to be in his forties but is over 100 years old.

Backstory: Bucky, born March 10, 1917, was a member of an elite special unit of Allied soldiers formed in World War II known as the Howling Commandos, commanded by his childhood friend Steve Rogers. Was thought to be dead during a mission but survived and was brainwashed by HYDRA to become the most famous Winter Soldier (assassin and spy). Barnes had his left arm amputated by HYDRA and had it replaced with a cybernetic one because it was severely damaged in his fall. After breaking free of HYDRA's control, Bucky became a very important ally of Captain America and eventually became one of the Avengers. Later his cybernetic arm was destroyed and received a new bionic arm (high tech/Vibranium) while in Wakanda. He is fully recovered from the brainwashing during the period he stayed on Wakanda, where he became known as the White Wolf and continues to use that alias in the Avengers.

Abilities: Bucky's bionic left arm gives him enhanced strength superior to that of a normal human's. However, the bionic arm is not the only source of his physical attributes; he was given some form of the Super Soldier Serum, which affected his tissue strength and physical capabilities to the very peak of human potential. As a Super Soldier, Bucky has enhanced strength, durability, speed, stamina, and reflexes. Bucky's healing speed and efficiency is superior to that of a normal human. Multilingual; fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Latin, and Japanese but knows 30 languages. During his time as a US Army soldier and HYDRA agent Bucky was trained in hand-to-hand, a range of firearms, and many other melee weapons. Was also trained in espionage, hacking, stealth and assassination.]
