History: (Marvel
Adventures: The Avengers I#37) - Bucky was Captain America's
sidekick during World War II. They were members of the Invaders
superhero team which also included Golden Girl, Human Torch, Miss
America, Toro and Whizzer.
(Marvel
Adventures: Super Heroes I#12/2) - In 1942, during a leave from the US
Army, Captain America (Steve Rogers)
and Bucky Barnes joined other soldiers at the cinema. When the
film ended, Bucky and Steve discussed the moments they liked. Bucky
then began discussing his theory that Sergeant Duffy had become too
soft by allowing the
soldiers to return home for a while and giving them free movie tickets.
A strange-robot calling himself P.R.O.D.O.K. suddenly appeared and
began to randomly shoot in all directions. Barnes and Rogers dressed
into their superhero costumes and attacked the enemy from the roof.
They
threw him to the ground and P.R.O.D.O.K. was ultimately neutralized.
Examining the
details of the robot, Bucky concluded that P.R.O.D.O.K. was
constructed in the United States. One of the nearby soldiers confirmed
Bucky's words by saying that the robot consisted of the same material
as their army
trucks.
(Marvel
Adventures: The Avengers I#37 - BTS) - Captain America and Bucky
received
information that Heinrich Zemo was going to take over the newly-created
drone planes. (see comments)
(Marvel
Adventures: Super Heroes I#8 (fb)) - After Zemo acquired one of the drone planes, Bucky and Cap
headed for the Boston military airbase and
attempted to thwart Zemo's plans. The young superhero confidently
declared that Zemo's drone plane could still be stopped and they got
closer
to it. Bucky grabbed the wing of the plane but Steve failed to reach.
Bucky soon noticed the bomb, revealing a trap set by Zemo for the two
heroes, but it was too
late. The plane exploded and took Bucky's life.
Comments: Created by Scott Gray and Craig Rousseau.
Bucky's physical stats were approximated from his 616 counterpart.
Marvel
Adventures: The Avengers I#37 states that Cap and Bucky were active in
1950s but it was retconned in their latter appearances to show Bucky
dying in 1945.
Perhaps A Captain America & Bucky
were active in the 1950s but they were other heroes using the
identities, much like on Earth-616. --Proto-Man
