Avengers LEAK: Every Playable Character That Will Be Included

Hey, you couldn't have Captain America stealing all the limelight, could you, Bucky?

Yes it seems as if the Winter Soldier himself, Bucky Barnes, is going to be another character included in Marvel's Avengers. Honestly, he sounds like he would be a pretty great addition when you think about his capabilities.

Bucky is generally very similar in background to Captain America. He's basically a super-soldier with extensive hand-to-hand and martial arts capabilities, as well as being an exceptionally proficient user of guns and other weaponry. In game, he could use his guns and arsenal to attack enemies from afar, closing in where necessary with fluid combat similar to that of Black Widow.

Of course there's also the presence of his cybernetic arm, giving him superhuman strength and increased reaction times. This can discharge an EMP too (so could shut down mechanical enemies) and there's plenty of scope there to give him over-the-top, extremely damaging moves which utilise the power of his arm to its full extent.
