![]() ![]() However, during this time Barnes was accused of murdering the King of Wakanda, causing the Black Panther to engage him in a vengeance-driven pursuit. In the aftermath of the Battle at the Triskelion, the Winter Soldier went on the run from HYDRA on a self-imposed mission to remember his past and end his violent history. Director Nick Fury, the Winter Soldier was confronted by his old friend, Steve Rogers, triggering him to begin remembering his prior life. Eventually, when he was ordered by HYDRA leader Alexander Pierce to assassinate S.H.I.E.L.D. Between missions Barnes would be put into a cryogenic stasis, due to his instability. Over the next several decades he would eliminate anyone who posed a threat to HYDRA, including his former ally, Howard Stark. Brainwashed and armed with a new cybernetic limb, Barnes ultimately became an enhanced HYDRA operative known as the Winter Soldier. He was then presumed to be deceased, though unbeknownst to his teammates Barnes had actually survived, albeit with the loss of his left arm. In the midst a fight on a HYDRA train, Barnes was attacked and promptly plummeted off the side of the train. During the time between 1943 and the end of the war in 1945, they had attacked and disabled many HYDRA bases. As World War II was escalating, he was recruited to become a member of the Howling Commandos. Still, he would undoubtedly be a top candidate to recruit to combat the Skrull invasion's covert tactics.Sergeant James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes is a former soldier of the 107th Infantry Regiment and the childhood best friend of Steve Rogers. Whether Barnes will appear in Secret Invasion is yet to be determined. Bucky could have an instrumental role in helping the Avengers fight this invasion, further cementing Bucky Barnes as a true Avenger and protector of the innocent, coming full circle from his dark days as Hydra's killing machine. Jackson will be reprising his role as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelson will reprise his role as the Skrull Talos from Captain Marvel. We already know that Marvel Studios is going to give their own iteration of Secret Invasionon Disney+, but the details on the show are scarce. The storyline involves shape-shifting aliens known as Skrulls (first featured in the MCU in Captain Marvel). The Secret Invasion storyline is semi-well-known and adored by fans of Marvel Comics. With the untimely death of Chadwick Boseman, there is a decent possibility that Bucky could appear in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, perhaps as the leader of the Wakandan War Dogs. ![]() However, the fact remains: they were not his fault, and he can find redemption fighting alongside Sam (and hopefully the Dora Milaje) as an Avenger. At the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Barnes appears to come to terms with the reality that yes, he committed many horrific atrocities. Steve Rogers believed Bucky to be a hero with a good heart, but Bucky struggles with that notion after all the atrocities he committed as Hydra's Winter Soldier. From there, he begins to rebuild his identity as the White Wolf of Wakanda: he goes to therapy he makes amends he expresses his doubt in himself. ![]() This allowed Barnes to shed his terrifying alter ego, the stone-cold killing machine known as The Winter Soldier. Bucky has been dubbed The White Wolf by King T'Challa himself and the Dora Milaje, who were primarily responsible for freeing Bucky's mind from Hydra's lingering mind control. Despite the moniker of The White Wolf being granted to a different character in Marvel Comics, the MCU has chosen to go a different route. Our great hope is that Bucky Barnes will continue his to carry the mantle as the White Wolf of Wakanda.
