James Buchannon Barnes is a ward of the state assigned to Camp Lehigh as a regimental mascot. One night "Bucky" Barnes discovers his friend PFC Steve Rogers changing from his Captain America (See individual entry) outfit back into his army duds. He convinces Steve that he could be a great asset to Captain America as his partner, if only Steve will train him. Of course, he tells Steve that he will help safeguard the hero’s secret identity, lest anyone else finds out. Steve Rogers agrees to train Bucky, and after a short period of time he is awarded his own uniform to hide his identity. The pair would go onto fight the Nazi menace and super-villains. Later on, Bucky joins with the Human Torch's sidekick Toro (See individual entries) to form the Young Allies, which are comprised of other kids who want to aid the war effort. After the war, Bucky and Captain America become members of the All Winners Squad, crimefighters who are committed to the cause of fighting crime in postwar America. Bucky is wounded in one of his outings with Captain America and is briefly replaced by Betsy Ross, also known as Golden Girl (See individual entry). Settling down, Steve gets a teaching job, and Bucky returns to the school where Steve teaches. But the crime-fighting pair does not give up its efforts against evil, for there is a new evil to battle, the Commies! And so Captain America and Bucky become America's Commie Busters! |
