Character » Bucky Barnes appears in 1276 issues.
Bucky works as Cap as long as Steve is on the secret avengers and the like. But i agree, i wish bucky wasnt treated like an idiot in The avengers book
A VIDEO! WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!
To be honest im a huge fan of progression so im fine with Bucky as cap. :P
I'm not a fan of Captain America in general, so I'm not too bothered who holds the shield and mantle of the character.
That being said I'd still love to see Bucky be outfitted in an American Son style of armour. I really don't get why he persists in wearing spandex when a perfectly good set of body armour could be constructed by Stark or Richards.
I like Steve doing his own thing. It would be cool if he had a codename or something though. It's cool that right now his super power is his ultimate leadership skills. That's not something you see respected a lot in comics.
I got to be honest though, I wish it was Frank Castle that became Cap. I mean Winter Soldier and The Punisher are on about equally, morally dubious grounds anyway, right?
How long did it take you to do this G-Man? its epic dont get me wrong but there's a lot of running and stuff goin on :P
I fink Bucky should have a different mantle, but Captain America is more of a symbol, just as much the fact that theres actually a person behind that symbol. I loved Bucky as winter soldier, they shoulda done more with that
I was never a fan of Captain America, but I did understand his importance and was a bit skeptical at first, admittedly, about whether or not it was a good idea to hand the title to someone else. But when he first showed up, I found myself liking him.
I would still like Steve Rogers back, but I think Bucky Cap is working for me for the time being. I do agree the fact he is treated and portrayed like some novice is a bit ridiculous, but the idea of progression in giving the shield to someone else is good. So for now, Bucky Cap stays.
I think Steve's new codename should be American Shield.
Steve is the only Captain America, Bucky is just his former sidekick prancing around in a costume he was never worthy to wear.
I think Bucky Cap is great - I'm really digging the Captain America stories right now. I'd be disappointed if Steve returned from the "dead" and just jumped up and acted as if nothing had happened. And with the Winter Soldier stuff just about to be unearthed to the American public Bucky Cap is more exciting then ever. Will Steve become cap again? Undoubtedly. But I'm enjoying the Bucky Cap ride for now (waaayy better then John Walker).
please, leave Bucky as Cap for as long as possible. Im enjoying it and im enjoying Steve as he is now. And i never thought about Steve comic back as Cap for the time the movies out. lol.
read Ultimate Avengers 2 lol" I like Steve doing his own thing. It would be cool if he had a codename or something though. It's cool that right now his super power is his ultimate leadership skills.

" I am just afraid Marvel will do something stupid with Bucky as the movie looms, like turn him into a cillian Steve has to take down so that he is forced to reclaim the mantle and they can sell books. "
g-man, u finally see the light! GIVE BUCKY A CHANCE! We need a new Cap, who better represents the American ideal/climate of the 21st century ("even if he is from the same century as Steve"-good one G-man)... I just hope they don't put Steve back in the mantle when the flick comes out... As i said before, i can see Bucky-Steve & even Nick Fury pulling a 3-way switch at some point... WAIT, did i just say Bucky-Steve-Fury & 3-way in the same sentence??? :/
When the movie comes out Steve will be Captain America again but I hope they promote Buck to colonel, Colonel America.
Steve. In my view Bucky is still dead and I don't buy or dig the recon story line. Some of the crazy stuff Marvel has done recently is just lazy. Another prime example is the whole Gwen Stacy/Green Goblin thing. They took one of the pivotal moments in Marvel history and took a big fat dump on it.
Buck is dead. Bring Steve back. Kill the retcon silliness.
i like how he shootz dudes with a GUN!
I like Bucky as Cap, really digging what happening in Captain America right now but not the Avenger where he acts more background than anything. I won't lie Bucky is not Steve, he different but that what makes him great is that his willing to do that necessary and not just whats needed. If Steve just comes back and decides "Hey I wanna be Cap again, you go do whatever" it'd kinda be little what was great about "Who Will Wield The Shield"
Bucky deserves to carry the shield. I'd be happy if he were Cap for years to come. He's doing a good job.
This doesn't mean I wouldn't be open to Steve returning to the star spangled tights though ;)
I like Bucky...but I don't like his methods. The way he chooses to do things doesn't really sit well with me as something 'Captain America' would do.
Then again, I'm not really a Cap fan. I like him, but I only know the trivial things that at least everyone knows.
Or maybe I'm harsher on Bucky being Cap because it's like how I feel about Dick being Batman. I don't think either of them should be their mentor's successor. Bucky was fine as Winter Soldier. Just as Dick was fine as Nightwing.
"Steve is the only Captain America, Bucky is just his former sidekick prancing around in a costume he was never worthy to wear."
I miss the winter soldier... :(
" I like them both...can´t there be two Captain Americas? "Maybe one in one reality and the other in an alternate reality.
Bucky needs to stay as CAP!!
I love Stevew and all but I would like something in the comics thats a drastic change, stay for once. He is an awesome character and has proven many times he deserves the title. I like the way Steve is now, being the new nick Fury
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes one thousand times yes!! Bucky is an amazing Cap. I also would be okay with two caps.
Honestly, I'd prefer Steve taking the Captain America identity back. Not that Bucky is a poor choice, he's really come into his own as Cap, but because he made a better Winter Soldier. As Bucky's point out, he's a soldier, he's trained to kill. How cool would it be to see Winter Soldier on the Secret Avengers team? I say put Steve back in the role he was made for, and let Bucky get down and dirty.
If they take the mantle away from Bucky they might as well kill him because he's worthless without it.I'm sick and tired of companies making all of these sidekicks and "xerox's" and then just throwing them down the drain.If you don't plan on doing anything with the character than just kill them.With that said I like Bucky as Captain America.It doesn't matter if he will never be as good as Steve.Not that he very well couldn't be. The sidekick taking the mantle is something that needs to happen to alot more heroes.Being someone who has been reading comics for over a decade, the same old characters get boring.I'm glad Steve is back I always liked him as a character but now he needs to play the background like Nick Fury and give it a rest.

BENDIS is writing Bucky like an idiot. Like some dumb jock basically, not the hard boiled espionage agent that Brubaker has developed him into. Which i don't get at all, and as much as a love JR JR's art, I will def drop "Avengers" if that characterization continues to be so OFF.
Ok maybe I'm being a Whiney comic book geek, but I have really dug Brubaker's Cap stuff (Bucky Cap). And its really REALLY distracting when Bendis writes a scene where some 3rd rate character like Maria Hill condescends to Bucky, REALLY really, Bucky doesn't read the brief files given to him? REALLY? That sorta moment was SOOOO out of character after the whole Rebirth/Search for Cap stuff. WEAK!
END rant.
"That's what makes Bucky a good Cap..because he's not Steve Rogers and because he was technically a bad guy at one point.He has his own inner conflict aside from all the WWII stuff.Honestly, I'd prefer Steve taking the Captain America identity back. Not that Bucky is a poor choice, he's really come into his own as Cap, but because he made a better Winter Soldier. As Bucky's point out, he's a soldier, he's trained to kill.

I don't mind Bucky as Cap... To be honest the whole thing about not knowing Kang, that's just Bendis' writing... He's smarter than that!
You're right for movie reasons they will end up putting Steve Rogers under the A mask...
Is this your goodbye to the "lair"? You aren't coming back? How big is the new office?
Wait! What about the Bat-Signal? and the Golden Monkeys? That's where the Pinchuk Take-Over took place! and where all that mail was sent to... Where Babs was dumped during Valentine's and where Red LAMP filmed himself going "# 2"...
I'm feeling Nostalgic... and I've never even been there... (< Pretty Sad! :P)
