James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes was Steve Rogers's sidekick during World War II - and like Cap himself, Bucky was thought dead after the same encounter with Baron Zemo that left Steve Rogers frozen in ice at the tail end of the war.
Walker was of course a major character in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier played by Wyatt Russell, who appears to have a future in the MCU as U.S. Agent before being named warden of the Thunderbolts program to rehabilitate former supervillains - which led to Walker eventually operating alongside the T-bolts for a time in an alternate reality. Walker was eventually rehabilitated, even serving on the Avengers as U.S. Rogers, now operating simply as "The Captain," took Walker down before finally reclaiming his mantle as Captain America. Walker was also unstable, leading to an incident wherein he left several of his enemies in critical condition. Walker was far more violent than Rogers, carrying out vicious retribution against his enemies. The powers that be quickly settled on John Walker, a vigilante operating as the Super Patriot. When Steve Rogers, disillusioned with the orders of a corrupt government, gave up the mantle of Captain America, the search began for a replacement. Lumbly will return as Isaiah Bradley in Captain America: New World Order. Isaiah Bradley was adapted pretty faithfully for the MCU and was memorably played by actor Carl Lumbly in Disney Plus' The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, in which Eli was played by Elijah Richardson in a more minor role.
Before embarking on his final mission, Bradley took up a Captain America costume and shield - a theft for which he was court-marshaled and imprisoned until President Eisenhower finally released him.Įventually, Bradley's grandson Eli followed in his footsteps, donning a costume and shield of his own as Patriot of the Young Avengers (opens in new tab). Ultimately, Isaiah Bradley was among the only survivors of this process, a group that began undertaking secret missions for the US Army. The US military began experimenting on hundreds of African American soldiers in an attempt to duplicate the process that created Captain America. Erskine, died, he left Steve Rogers the only recipient of the now-defunct formula.
