Body Type: Thickly muscles, yet athletically slim; years of military and assassination training, along with the super soldier serum, have given him the ideal form of a killing machine.
Markings/Tattoos/Scars: Countless scars all over his body, and a tattoo on the inside of his forearm labeling him as an augmented human.
Attire: Though he usually wears his assassination garb given to him by HYDRA, he has taken to wearing hoodies, t-shirts, and jeans with military grade combat boots when not in action.

Belongings
M1941 Johnson Rifle
The same rifle he used in World War 2, Bucky keeps one as a sort of keepsake from his time in the war.
SIG-Sauer P220ST
Bucky's weapon of choice, a semi-automatic pistol heavily used by armed forces and police of many countries. He used it against Steve while confronting him on the streets of Washington, D.C. and inside one of Project Insight Helicarriers.
Vz.61 Skorpion
A sub-machine gun carried on the back of his vest. Steve forced him to use it as he had to drop his assault rifle, but Steve quickly disarmed him.
Little Black Journal
Assumed to be a journal that Bucky keeps his memories in, just in case he were to become brainwashed and forget his past ever again. He also keeps pictures of important people in his life within it, such as Steve Rogers. This is one of the few possessions that Bucky protects with his life, and because of this, no one really knows what he keeps inside it.
Abilities/Skills:
Bionic Arm
- Superhuman Strength: Has some degree of superhuman strength in his bionic arm.
- Enhanced Reaction Time: His arm's reaction time is greater than that of any Olympic athlete who has and will ever compete.
- Stabilization Sensors: Bucky can detect the balance of objects (namely Captain America's shield) and throw items with pinpoint accuracy. He was able to throw Captain America's shield with perfect accuracy and cause it to return when he used his bionic arm.
- Sensory Array: The arm houses different sensors which allow him to pass through security such as metal detectors without setting them off. It can also shield other metallic objects from detection such as firearms and knives.
- Extended Reach: He can apparently either control his bionic arm even if it has been removed from his body (possibly by cybernetic implants), or his arm can be programmed to perform certain actions on its own while removed from his body.
- Electrical Discharge: He can discharge bolts of electrical energy from his arm's palm.
- EMP: He can discharge an EMP rendering electronic devices useless. He failed to use it on a prepared Iron Man.
Abilities
- Master Martial Artist: Barnes is a dangerously skilled martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant. He received training from World War Two hand-to-hand combat luminaries William Essart Fairbairn and Colonel Rex Applegate as well as Captain America (Steve Rogers) in multiple martial arts, and acrobatics as a teenager during WWII and was trained in more of them while being molded into an assassin by the Soviet Union. He has single-handedly beaten Crossbones, a squad of SHIELD agents, Wolverine and the Black Widow, defeated a regiment of Hydra agents alongside the Young Avengers, in combat and fought Captain America (Steve Rogers) and Iron Man to a standstill.
- Expert Marksman: He is an extremely accurate marksman. Skilled in sharpshooting and knife throwing.
- Skilled Acrobat: He is an Olympic level athlete and acrobat capable of many difficult acrobatic feats.
- Peak Human Conditioning: Has shown Olympic to possible near peak human level strength, agility, endurance, dexterity, etc.
- Advanced Scout: Barnes is a very gifted scout and adept at stealth and concealment.
- Multi-lingual: He is fluent in English, Russian, German, Japanese, and a little French. He might be able to speak other languages.
- Expert Spy: He is an expert in the field of espionage thanks largely to World War Two hand-to-hand combat luminaries William Essart Fairbairn and Colonel Rex Applegate, his former partner, Steve Rogers, the United States military, British SAS regiment, and the Russian Government. He is skilled in stealth, demolitions, survival, deducing other persons ways of thinking and other fields.
- Expert Assassin: Barnes is an adept of his generation, possibly the most lethal assassin in the world. During an operation on the Russian Front with the Invaders, Barnes has from concealment thrown a 60 centimeters-long knife to penetrate the winter uniform outer garment of a German soldier with such accuracy as to pierce his heart in high arctic winds several meters. Barnes has mastered and implemented several methods to silently eliminate sentries with bladed weapons, garrotes or his bare hands, making him as lethal in his own way as his former Invader teammates, the Torches, Union Jack or Namor. He is a master at stealth and tracking and is very intelligent. Barnes has made a habit out of constantly studying his surroundings and depicting what he can and cannot do in whatever situation he should fall. The Black Widow stated to Tony Stark that he was one of the most dangerous men she knew.
Weaknesses:
Very few.
Electromagnetic pulse could possibly render bionic arm useless. Although this could be questionable due to the fact his arm is capable of emitting an EMP.
Currently suffering from PTSD - multiple sensory and verbal triggers, as well as common reactions seen in most military veterans - and identity disorder, being uncertain whether he is the Bucky he remembers or the Winter Soldier he had been forced to become.
Likes: Exercising, lifting weights, running, serving his country, testing his value, watching old-timey movies, redheads, and snow.
Dislikes: Medical clinics or hospitals, nightmares, HYDRA's intentions, injustice, anyone who harasses innocent people, and putting his friends in danger.
Fears/Phobias: Becoming brainwashed again, losing Steve, losing his friends, and reliving the past.
Quirks: While he has been known to be a shameless flirt, Bucky is much more aware of Steve's comfort whenever he is around. During an anxiety or panic attack, he has been known to grind his teeth, rub his fingers together, zone out, or even start to mumble to himself in another language.
"Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists,
but the ones that do call him The Winter Soldier.
He's a ghost, you'll never find him." - Natasha Romanoff
- Superhuman Strength: Has some degree of superhuman strength in his bionic arm.
