Like it.
Cable and Nightwing had a baby? Sorry couldn’t resist.
Holy crap I was just about to type that it looked like Cable crossed with Robin. Good call.
If you make a bionicle arm, why go throu all the trouble of making all the mucles? With servers and hydrolics you could make the arm bend in all crazy directions and still keep it strong and stable!
Just a thought from the doc.
Don’t get me wrong – I like what I see.
I love gun toting super/anti- heroes but I don’t think I can take him seriously with a name like Bucky.
Winter Soldier isn’t much better.
Winter Soldier is a fine name….considering it’s origins but maybe he should have changed his name since he doesn’t work for the Soviets anymore.
But regardless the “Winter Soldier” is a myth/legend , that’s got to be an advantage of sorts.

I always took it as a reference to Thomas Paine, who during the America Revolution in the mid-1700’s spoke of soldiers who enlisted during the warm months but went AWOL as soon as things got wintry, i.e. “The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country.”
By that logic, Bucky as The Winter Soldier is for all intents & purposes, the eternal warrior (which Valiant still has trademarked, mind you) and poetically is destined to fight forever, no matter the season. It is, to my ears, a damn cool name.
