    Bucky Barnes

    Character » Bucky Barnes appears in 2103 issues.

    Believed dead near the end of World War II only to have been found and brainwashed by the Soviets for the next 50 years, Captain America's former sidekick now continues to defend his country from the shadows against those who would threaten it as legendary spy and assassin, the Winter Soldier. He became the new Captain America to honor his friend Steve and he joined the Avengers. When Steve returned as Captain America, Bucky took on the identity of the Winter Soldier once again.

    Bucky or Jubilee?

    Who do you think is a more unique Marvel sidekick?

    Bucky.

    I just don't like Jubilee, although I don't see anything unique about Bucky. At least not during his sidekick days.

    Isn't Jubilee powerless? Either way Bucky is like Marvels Nightwing, making him a topside kick

    Jubilee is a second rate Kitty Pryde, with her dumb ass raincoat, and hot pink granny glasses. She needs to go hide underneath a rock in shame. No one cares that you're a vampire now........ Go read Twilight you stupid c_nt!

    Bucky. He's the first and really only Marvel sidekick. Jubilee doesn't really count as a sidekick to me, she was just as much a part of the X-Men as Logan so therefore not a sidekick.

    I actually like Jubilee, but as far as legacy and feats are concerned, she's no Bucky Barnes.

    It's really apples and oranges.

    Jubes is the kind of character that is more for those who like the bubbly types, she's quirky and is good for stories with hi-jinx. When matched with Wolverine in a story, she brightens the overall mood (or did, course now we have the vampire thing that came out of left field...) though she's similar to Kitty, I actually think she's more intelligent than Kitty is. Her original powers were supposed to have her become a lot more powerful over time. She's got a future if writers do her well.

    But this is the legendary Bucky she being compared to, and obviously there's no contest. He fought in WWII as Cap's sidekick, and I could stop right there. But more, he survived it, lived on and became a secret soldier assassin, replaced Steve Rogers for a time, has fought against much more dangerous people than Jubes ever has, and he and Black Widow are currently the very best espionage agents in Marvel.

    Bucky Barnes, nuff said.
