Comments: Created by Chris Giarrusso.

While Bucky's real name was not given in-story, it seems likely that he would be James Buchanan Barnes. Additionally, it seems likely that this reality's Captain America was Steven Rogers.

Bucky's height & eye color are approximated from that of his Earth-616 counterpart. His weight was unrevealed but likely much less than his 616 counterpart due to his enfeebled state. Additionally, his eye color is presumed to be brown like his 616 counterpart but he was never seen outside of his mask.
