So, I finally managed to read Bucky’s biography as presented at the Captain America Smithsonian exhibit.
And yes, the “Captured by Hydra, Barnes endured long periods of isolation, depravation and torture" part certainly got to me, but what really caught my interest was: "An excellent athlete who also excelled in the classroom”.
Bucky wasn’t all looks and brawn, he was also a good student. He basically had it all, was probably the most popular guy at school, and still chose small sickly Steve Rogers as his best friend.
