Bucky is the name of several fictional characters that were masked superheroes in the Marvel Comics universe. The original one James Buchanan Bucky Barnes was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby as a sidekick character in Captain America Comics #1 (cover-dated March 1941) published by Timely Comics (Marvel’s 1940s predecessor). Decades later the original Bucky was brought back from supposed death as the Winter Soldier and even as Captain America when Steve Rogers was presumed to be dead.
