James Buchanan Barnes, more commonly referred to as Bucky Barnes, is the fictional character based on the Marvel comics and portrayed by Sebastian Stan in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers (Captain America) are childhood best friends who grew up together and found themselves fighting side by side in World War 2 until both, through a series of different events, found themselves in the living in the present day. While Steve was injected with super soldier serum making him the superhero and national treasure known as Captain America, Bucky was transformed into a brainwashed super soldier assassin controlled by Hydra, aka the Winter Soldier. In an effort to make amends, he aligns himself with the Avengers, becoming the ‘White Wolf’.
Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes (also referred to as the Winter Soldier or White Wolf) has appeared in several Marvel Cinematic Universe projects including all 3 Captain America films, ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and most recently starred in the miniseries ‘The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’ also voicing an alternative version of James Buchanan Barnes in multiple episodes of the animated series ‘What If…’.
‘With you till the end of the line’ is an iconic reoccurring quote that embodies the friendship of Steve and Bucky. This phrase captures the close bond between the two and all that they’ve been through as a pair. The first time we hear it said is during ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ in a flashback to before Steve became a super soldier or became enlisted in the army. When tough times arise for Steve, Bucky is there reminding him that he isn’t alone. Even when the roles are reversed, 70 years later, this Captain America repeats this phrase to remind Bucky who he really is and that they are friends until the very end.
Shaped like a dog tag and inspired by the pattern of his metal arm, this pin is the perfect way to celebrate this endearing character and the Captain America films! Perfect gift for all Bucky Barnes fans.
