@spiderbat87 said:Because the Winter part is a reference to Russian Winter military term that's why it's used in the Winter Solider, Winter Guard and Wildstorm's Winter.We have winter in a America, so why does it only have to refer to Russia? :P Not to mention that Ed Brubaker said that in the new series Bucky is going to use the Winter Soldier name to his advantage, using the reputation he gained through the name in the criminal underworld and taking a name that is scared in some ways and actually making the "Winter Soldier" into a name that people will fear because they realize he's a good guy now. It seems that now only will Buck being redeeming himself, he's also going to redeem the Winter Soldier name and take something that was meant for evil and transform it into something that is good instead.@ReVamp said:
Yea but the Winter part is referring to Russia@spiderbat87 said:
@ReVamp: I think I remember you saying this and me hoping you where right. I like that he is back and not under steve's mantel but I dont like the Winter part of his name, he needs a new one
Yeah man. I think that the Winter Soldier name is ok though...

Oh also, in Bucky's defense, I take back anything I said about the Winter Soldier persona being too scared or that he shouldn't go back to using a name that was given to him y the Russians because to be fair Black Widow was given her codename by the Russians and did some crappy things as well yet things are working fine for her, so I don't see why Bucky can't do the same...sure, it'll be more difficult I'll admit, but in reality it wasn't the name that did those things to him, it was the people who gave him the name and in a way, not only will Bucky be redeeming himself but he'll be redeeming the Winter Soldier name as well. But still, my question remains: How long till Bucky's leading the Secret Avengers? xD
Even though I agree with most ofwhat you said, it'd be redundant to agree with them all individually. The last part is the best though :P
Also, here's the quote from Ed Brubaker in an interview that Dark Huntress posted in a blog:"And I, you know, thought, the Winter Soldier’s such a—I mean, there’s toys with Bucky as the Winter Soldier and it’s a cool name, you know. And it’s sort of become his identity, and I didn’t want to have to create a new identity for him, or make him become the next Nomad or any of that stuff. He’s haunted by the things he did, but he can’t deny that that stuff actually happened. So he’s taking back that identity because that’s when he shows up at one of those dark corners and some weapons dealer who knew him from 20 years ago sees his face, they’re going to s**t their pants because the Winter Soldier showed up. He’s not going to deny that all this stuff happened, even though he wasn’t in control of it—he’s going to use all of that to his advantage now." - Ed Brubaker
