* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsBuckyBarnes Bucky Barnes]]. He was just another teen sidekick when introduced, and then killed off in flashback by Stan Lee when he reintroduced Cap into the Silver Age. For decades Bucky became a running joke as "one of the only characters to [[DeathIsCheap stay dead]]" in comics. Fast forward to ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica2005'', and at the very beginning of the run Creator/EdBrubaker proceeds to bring Bucky back as the Winter Soldier, a brainwashed assassin used by the Russians during the Cold War who is eventually freed from control and goes on to become a well-characterized anti-hero. And then when original Captain America Steve Rogers was killed, Bucky wound up taking over the mantle to honor his partner. And he wound up becoming such a hit that when Steve was inevitably brought back to life, the fans actually didn't want him resuming his old identity and replacing Bucky. And for a little while, they got their wish: Bucky remained Captain America and Steve operated without a code name as the new Director of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}}. While Steve eventually became Captain America again, Bucky continued to be a major part of the Marvel Universe, getting his own series, then leading the ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} -- the major role he's played in the MCU has catapulted him into Marvel's A-List.
