History
Early Life[]
The early life James Barnes closely resembles that of his Earth-616 counterpart.
James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes was a young man when World War II broke out. Bucky wanted to fight alongside the super-soldier Captain America and the Invaders, the Allies' premiere fighting force. After learning Captain America's secret identity, he threatened to reveal it to his superiors unless Cap allowed him to join them. Bucky fought bravely alongside the Invaders, but died in an explosion that left Captain America frozen in a block of ice for decades. [1]
Realm of the Dead[]
Upon his death, Bucky found himself in the Realm of the Dead, a land where dead heroes and villains fought an unending war, unaware of their deaths and believing that those they had left behind were the ones who had truly died. [2]
When the Kree hero Mar-Vell began plotting to destroy Death itself and to create a Paradise for all those deceased, he began recruiting the dead to his cause, fighting to show them the truth of their fates. [3]
When Mar-Vell's cause seemed to be all but lost, the recently deceased Captain America rallied Bucky and other deceased companions to come to Mar-Vell's rescue. This gave him the time he needed to destroy Death with the Ultimate Nullifier.[2]
When Mar-Vell finished constructing his Paradise, Bucky was one of its first inhabitants. Given a chunk of the Cosmic Cube to consume, Bucky created his own ideal paradise. In it, he was Captain America and lived out a glorious career in heroics in a world where World War II continued on. He would later be pulled from this reality when Paradise was invaded by the Kree army. Bucky would participate in the battle, and stop the Kree occupation of Paradise.Attributes
