Dick or Jason?
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.
DC counterpart
Dick b/c he is the original and considered the best. Just as Bucky is the original and best captain america sidekick. The only similarity Jason and James have are the fact that they were sidekicks that died and came back as anti-heroes.
He lacks anything in common with either besides being a sidekick at one point. Bucky's DC counterpart would more likely be someone like Rick Flag
I'd say Dick Grayson. They were both the 1st sidekick of iconic heroes, and both took over the mantle of their mentor. They also both grew out of there sidekick role into new personas (Nightwing/ Winter Solider)
Neither, the only thing Bucky really has in common with either of them is that they were all three sidekicks at one point.
Jason. Both died due to the failure of their mentors. Both arguably died heroes. When they came back, both only had "sense memory" left, and were exploited by larger organizations. Both initially seemed to have beef with their former mentors before leaving to unknown fates in their initial storylines. Both end up taking over the mantles of their mentors, while looking much different than them. Of course then Jason ends up losing it to Grayson in a horrible storyline. Both mentors end up dying, and find themselves traveling in time....:P

I'd say Dick MIXED with Jason. He was Steve's first sidekick like Dick was for Bruce, he was thought to be dead like Jason(Well Jason WAS dead, but I digress), he became a killer like Jason, but when he snapped out of it he shaped up and became Captain America in a GOOD way roughly following in Steve's footsteps like Dick did with Batman and unlike Jason who continued his murderous ways while using the Batman guise.
