COMICS BLEND

Captain America: The First Avenger was a smash at the box-office. The movie was very faithful to the comics. One key change was Steve’s best friend, James Buchanan. Bucky was Steve’s age and best friend in the movie. In the comic books, Bucky was an orphan who became the mascot of a US Army camp where his father was killed in training.

The teenager discovered Captain America’s secret identity and promised to keep the secret if Steve trained him to be his sidekick. Cap and Bucky went on to fight the Nazis on their own and as part of the super team, the Invaders, which included an android Human Torch and his sidekick Toro, Namor the Sub-Mariner, Union Jack and Spitfire.

WARNING!!!

SPOILER ABOUT BUCKY!

 IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE MOVIE – READ NO FURTHER!!!!!!!

In the movie, Bucky falls from a speeding train on a mission to capture Nazi scientist Arnim Zola. In the comics, Bucky is trying to defuse a bomb on a drone plane when it explodes. Years later, Bucky returns as the assassin known as the Winter Soldier . This epic is a must for all Cap fans. It would be a perfect basis for Captain America 2.
