Affiliation Avengers Portrayal Voice Actor Brian Bloom OVERVIEW STRENGTHS A sturdy and mobile diver that can storm the battlefield, specialized in hit & run tactics and capable of shielding himself to protect his allies. His primary fire, Sentinel Strike, which can launch his shield every two punches landed. This allows Captain America to keep enemies under constant pressure. His secondary fire, Living Legend, allows Captain America to block oncoming strikes and projectiles while moving at a slightly slower speed. Projectiles can be deflected at 50% damage, including Ultimates, such as Iron Man's Invincible Pulse Cannon. The shield is able to deflect the enemy team's Jeff the Land Shark's Healing Bubbles if they're shot directly at Captain America, which allows them to be picked by him and his allies instead. The shield can completely block certain area-of-effect Ultimates, such as Namor's Horn of Proteus, if the player aims the shield directly down. Vibranium Energy Saw allows him to manually throw his shield, which can ricochet at enemies close to each other, capable of disrupting abilities if timed appropriately. In addition to Sentinel Strike's shield throw, this allows Captain America to effectively harass the enemy backline. Leading Dash grants him 33% increased movement speed and access to a higher jump called Fearless Leap. When jumping with Leading Dash active, Captain gains access to Super-Soldier Slam, a diving attack that knocks enemies up. Liberty Rush is a dashing charge with his shield that deals damage and also allows him to quickly reposition in the battlefield. His Ultimate, Freedom Charge, grants bonus health and an additional 30% movement speed to Captain America and all nearby allies, making him very resilient and hard to take down. Using Living Legend or Leading Dash while this ability is active can knock enemies upwards. WEAKNESSES Living Legend has a 1 second cooldown after the player pulls the shield down, which can interrupt the flow of his combat a bit. Struggles to block large barrages of ranged damage due to the smaller size of his shield compared to the likes of Doctor Strange's Shield of the Seraphim and Magneto's Metallic Curtain. His shield cannot block splash damage, such as Iron Man's Repulsor Blast and Jeff the Land Shark's Aqua Burst. He can, however, deflect those moves if they're aimed directly at him. The player has no control of where deflected projectiles will ricochet to. Personality Captain America, widely regarded as the world's first avenger, the man out of time, and a great superhero and soldier, who is distinguished by his courage, compassion, patriotism, and morality. He always possessed a good and honest mentality, intolerant of injustice and abuses of power. Steve, who grew up weak and small in Brooklyn, discovered on his own that true strength is having the guts to confront maltreatment, regardless of one's power, and having compassion for the innocent. He has an unshakeable moral compass and a strong sense of integrity. From the start, even before becoming Captain America, Steve is extremely selfless and brave and determined to stand up for what is right. His acts are motivated by a deep sense of justice and morality. He is said to as a "good man" rather than a "perfect soldier," and he sticks to his principles regardless of the circumstances. At his core, Steve is highly selfless and altruistic. He continuously prioritizes the needs of others over his own, willing to risk his safety, reputation, and even his life to protect others who cannot defend themselves. He fights for freedom and for the people against Nazi and HYDRA threats during WWII, facing one of his enemies, the Red Skull. Despite having been converted into a perfect fighter by the Super Soldier Serum, he retains his original values and personality. And even though years passed after his reawakening in the year 2099, he maintained the same values he had in the 1940s. He is awakened far from his own time and forced into a future of galactic empires, collapsing timelines, and cosmic threats, yet he remains grounded in purpose, not certainty. Steve does not believe he was brought back by accident; he believes there is always a reason, even if he cannot see it. When everything familiar is swept away, his belief in meaning, rather than fate or prophecy, keeps him grounded. Despite being surrounded by superior technology and godlike forces, Steve's strength is fundamentally human. He is reflective, observant, and slow to speak, frequently dealing with loss and change within rather than externally. Furthermore, Steve's personality revolves around loyalty and protectiveness. He is intensely loyal to his friends and allies, particularly Bucky Barnes, whom he considers family. Bucky has watched out for Steve since they were young, protecting him from bullies and the harsh realities of life in 1930s Brooklyn. Even after Steve became Captain America, the balance shifted, but their friendship was unshakeable. Steve's steadfast faith in Bucky, even after he became the Winter Soldier, eventually saved him. Others saw Bucky a killer, but Steve saw his best friend, the man he grew up with leading Bucky's belief saved him when he couldn't trust himself. He is fiercely loyal to his friends and country. This commitment extends to the Avengers and the people he fights for, making him a trustworthy and staunch ally, tactician and leader. He frequently takes on a mentoring, almost older brother position within the team, constantly watching out for others and urging them to do the right thing. His leadership style is based on trust, boldness, and consistency, and he inspires others with his actions rather than words. Others follow him because he continually puts innocent lives and shared sacrifice ahead of personal safety or glory. Even when confronted with an enemy he cannot overcome, particularly when that enemy is his closest friend, Steve adjusts without losing his ideals. He fights defensively, buys time, coordinates allies, and relies on others' skills, demonstrating the prudence of a leader rather than the stubbornness of a soldier. His courage is not impulsive; it is planned. Even in the midst of combat or moral dilemma, people naturally go toward him for guidance due to his stable character and unwavering commitment. Many generations look up to him, as he serves as a role model for many people, embodying honor, courage, and kindness. His demeanor is that of a defender and a leader, someone who fights not for fame or power, but because he believes in doing the right thing at any costs. After years of being awakened and caught in the middle of conflicting timelines, Steve eventually accepts that he belongs again, not because the world requires Captain America, but because the people around him do. His greatest power is not his shield or strength, but his unrelenting will to stand with others until they, too, find their way back, as he did.

Terrifying experiments turned him into a brainwashed assassin, but now James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes is in control of his own fate once again. With his enhanced mechanical arm, the Winter Soldier is primed to deliver earth-shattering blows to any foe in his path! Official description Winter Soldier is a Duelist hero in Marvel Rivals, and is the 24th hero introduced to the game's roster. He has a team-up ability that works in conjunction with Captain America. "I'm not anyone's sidekick, what I do best is done alone." Real Name James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, Jr. Aliases Bucky Biographical Information Birthdate 1910s-1920s Birthplace Shelbyville, Indiana Gender Male Eye color Blue Hair color Brown Relatives James Barnes, Sr. † (father) Winifred Barnes † (mother) Alpine (pet) Powers/Skills Enhanced physical conditioning through genetic manipulation Bionic left arm that grants superhuman strength, multipurpose weaponry, and extendable tendrils Expert marksman Expert hand-to-hand combatant OVERVIEW STRENGTHS A combo-based assassin that can quickly shift from mid-range attacks to devastating close-range combos with conditional area-of-effect potential. Above-average health compared to other Duelists, which can be brought even higher thanks to his passive. His passive, Ceaseless Charge, automatically reloads his primary fire whenever he uses any of the bionic-arm-related abilities while also providing bonus health. This makes his kit flow in synergy, as players can use bionic-arm abilities instead of manually reloading as the situation demands to connect his combos seamlessly. In addition, Winter Soldier gains 30 bonus health when using Bionic Hook and Tainted Voltage, and 50 bonus health when using Trooper's Fist and Kraken Impact. This bonus health is granted even if the ability does not connect with an enemy. It also can stack, providing him exceptional longevity. His primary fire, Roterstern, not only has fast projectiles and deals high damage, but also has a unique property of dealing splash damage that hits enemies in a small cone directly behind the primary target, granting Winter Soldier a powerful conditional area-of-effect damage. His secondary fire, Bionic Hook, which is a charged attack that extends the length of his bionic arm in a straight line to hook and pull the first target caught in its path towards the Winter Soldier. This ability is the core of the Winter Soldier's combo-oriented gameplay, allowing him to pull key targets overextending, such as Strategists, to quickly follow-up with his other abilities in order to deal devastating damage. Bionic Hook's range increases based on charge time, extending twice as long at maximum charge. In addition to dealing direct damage for the first target hit, it also deals damage to enemies in a small cone directly behind the victim. Trooper's Fist is a short-ranged forward dash that ends in an uppercut. Enemies caught by it are pushed and launched upwards. The dash can hit multiple targets if they're very close to each other, leading them perfectly into the uppercut. This ability is an excellent follow-up to Bionic Hook. Tainted Voltage is an energy projectile launched in a straight line after a small build-up. The projectile has piercing properties, allowing Winter Soldier to hit multiple enemies if they are caught in the line of fire. Enemies hit by the blast are slowed by 35% for 2 seconds. If this ability hits flying enemies, such as Iron Man and Star-Lord (during Rocket Propulsion or Galactic Barrage), it will knock them down to the ground. This ability is a great opener for the Winter Soldier, as the slowing effect leaves enemies vulnerable to pull them with Bionic Hook. His Ultimate, Kraken Impact, has Winter Soldier leaping high into the air while charging his bionic arm, projecting a large circular reticle (that shows the area-of-effect) before performing a downward strike at the ground with unleashed tentacles, dealing high damage in a large radius. Enemies hit by Kraken Impact are temporarily marked with a debuff called Culling for 5 seconds, displayed as a small dark red bar overlapping the left side of an afflicted target's health bar. This dark red mark represents 20% of a character's max health. If a marked character's health drops below this 15% threshold, they will be killed instantly. When Winter Soldier is using Kraken Impact, enemies already below 15% of their maximum health are given a unique icon above their health bars. This icon signals to the player using Winter Soldier that these enemies can be killed with Kraken Impact in one blow, which also regenerates the Ultimate instantly. In addition, taking down marked targets will instantly refill Kraken Impact, allowing Winter Soldier to use it again. Winter Soldier can consecutively use Kraken Impact as long as he is able to dispose of marked opponents. This reset works even against Loki's Illusions, Hulk reverting to Bruce Banner, or when triggering Wolverine's Regenerative Healing Factor. WEAKNESSES Has limited mobility outside of his Ultimate and Trooper's Fist. Very reliant on his bionic-arm abilities to keep damage going; if he mismanages them, he can be left incredibly vulnerable with his gun relying on them. His primary fire has the lowest ammo out of any ability in the game, with only 3 bullets before the player has to reload. The splash damage from his primary fire doesn't cover a lot of range, and will often only trigger if targets are very close to each other. The Culling debuff from Kraken Impact lasts for only 5 seconds, making strong defensive abilities like Magneto's Metal / Iron Bulwark, Hulk's Indestructible Guard and Adam Warlock's Soul Bond to be effective counters, as well high healing Ultimates such as Luna Snow's Fate of Both Worlds. Personality

I was rebuilt to be a weapon, but now I'm the one who pulls the trigger. Winter Soldier

Sgt. James Buchanan Barnes, known as "Bucky", is a devoted, brave and valiant soldier fighting alongside his best friend Steve Rogers during World War II. Before becoming the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes was confident, loyal, and charismatic. As Steve Rogers' best friend since childhood, he served as his defender, a strong, capable contrast to Steve's smaller size and gentler demeanor. Despite the risks of combat, he maintained a sense of humor and optimism, frequently hiding his worries with charm and companionship. Now brutally brainwashed and experimented on by Hydra, he becomes the assassin known as the Winter Soldier. His capture by Hydra marked the destruction of his old self. Under Hydra’s control, the Winter Soldier is a cold, emotionless, merciless, dispassionate, and amnesiac assassin; he showed no empathy, focused entirely on mission objectives without question, eliminating his targets with no mercy and demonstrated mechanical precision in combat. His humanity was only shown in brief, perplexing times when flashes of his past flickered through his shattered memory. Inside, there was intense conflict, a latent yearning for freedom buried behind training that pushed him into silence and compliance. During this time, his personality was one of deep pain disguised by a sense of cold control. When Bucky's memories returned, guilt and confusion overtook him. The re-emergence of his actual nature was agonizing; he remembered his previous existence but could not separate his own actions from the crimes HYDRA forced him to perform and the torture he experienced. This resulted in a personality defined by self-loathing and isolation, a man haunted by the ghosts of his past, unsure whether forgiveness was conceivable. Yet, beneath the shame, the heart of his personality such as loyalty, being protective, and intensely moral, began to resurface. He strove to make amends, often silently and alone, demonstrating that his humanity had endured despite everything. Bucky's friendship with Steve is one of the strongest in the Marvel universe, based on loyalty, affection, and shared history. Bucky has watched out for Steve since they were young, protecting him from bullies and the harsh realities of life in 1930s Brooklyn. Even after Steve became Captain America, the balance shifted, but their friendship was unshakeable. Steve's steadfast faith in Bucky, even after he became the Winter Soldier, eventually saved him. Others saw Bucky a killer, but Steve saw his best friend, the man he grew up with leading Bucky's belief saved him when he couldn't trust himself. With him and Natasha Romanoff, their relationship is far more intimate. They are known during their time as agents of the Soviet Union, they fought alongside each other, and developed a deep connection. Natasha represents both Bucky’s greatest comfort and his greatest loss. Even after their memories were tampered with, fragments of that connection remained, symbolizing how real their feelings were despite the manipulation around them. Even while many of his relationships with other heroes, particularly Steve and Nat, are from another timeline, his connection with them remains strong and close. Additionally, even his only pet cat Alpine is a soft, domestic contrast to the hardened personality side of him. Recently, he gained additional abilities from his bionic arm, offering extended powered tendrils, as he was taken again by Hydra, reliving the chorus of horror and chained torture. Clint Barton and Sharon Carter managed to rescue him from Hydra. Unfortunately, after being captured for the second time, there are times he shifts his mood and behavior back to his "Winter Soldier" character, which is vicious, aggressive, and unstoppable. Bucky's struggle with himself has grown to the point where he occasionally sometimes loses control of himself. Despite being haunted by his past and current changing personalities, he is still trying to channel his anguish into growth, finding strength in openness and empathy. Bucky became more contemplative, grounded, and humble when not on his violent side. He is no longer the carefree young soldier, but a man transformed by loss, tragedy, and redemption, still recalling the horrors of what he experienced. TRIVIA Bucky Barnes' first appearance was in "Captain America Comics" (1941) #1 in March 1941. He first appeared as the Winter Soldier in "Captain America" (2004) #1 in November 2004. His left arm is never more than a prosthetic that is reasonably durable and strong in many adaptations, and he is never depicted doing anything beyond what he is capable of in this game. However, according to the game's lore, his new extendable metallic tendrils came upon him relatively recently, rather than him being innately more capable than his comic or MCU counterpart. In an interaction with Emma Frost, she mentally reads the words "Longing," "Rusted," and "Furnace" from Bucky’s mind. These words are a subtle nod to the Winter Soldier’s trigger words used to activate him in Captain America: Civil War (2016). However, in the film, the trigger words only work when spoken in Russian.
