When was Bucky a member of SHIELD?

When was Bucky a member of SHIELD?

Back when it was known as Strategic Scientific Reserve, which consisted of Cap, Bucky, Peggy and the Howling Commandos with Howard Stark providing technical assistance.

Neat, I must have missed that detail in the Cap movie.

On another note, there is one thing I can't understand when reading the threads here and that is the enthusiasm behind fan theories concerning show characters being revealed as supers from the comics.

Not saying it is tantamount to character assassination but most of the characters suggested diverge a lot from whom they are suggested to be.

And I don't see why they'd go that route, they seem pretty consistent with following origins relatively close and keeping the original names.

It just seems like a latent desperation for this show to have more to do with the comics we love, and I get that, but flushing perfectly good origins down the crapper for mediocre re-imaginings certainly doesn't seem the way to go if we want a memorable MCU.

Even the theory that Michael Peterson is going to be a dollar store version of Deathlok is sort of upsetting to me. Despite the time-travel elements the stories of Luther Manning and Michael Collins are infinitely more interesting than that of Peterson, and Peterson is in no way mangled enough to even justify using Deathlok tech in the first place!

Well first off all, just because it's different doesn't make it bad. Movies/TV have made changes from the comics before, and had those changes work out really well. So to say that any changes would be "flushing the characters down the crapper" or automatically be "mediocre" is both premature and is not supported by past results. Also, Marvel Studios has made MANY changes from the comics. Here's a list of characters who were changed for the films from their comic counterparts:
1. Obodiah Stane.
2. Justin Hammer.
3. Whiplash.
4. Abomination.
5. Pepper Potts.
6. Malekith the Accursed.
7. Jane Foster.
8. Aldrich Killian.
9. Maya Hansen.
10. Kurse.
11. The Mandarin.
12. Hank Pym.
13. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
14. Ultron.

So they've done this a lot.

You can add Graviton and Blizzard to that list.

And hawkeye, hulk, and Thor

Was just about to say -- this show has done it quite a bit with the few Marvel characters it has used.

Big News: Stan Lee, The Marvel King, will be in the next episode of Marvel's Agents of Shield

 

[greenlantern248]

The next episode? Thought he wasnt showing up until Feb 4th? Thats in like 3 weeks

 

[darthcoolness3]

That's what I mean, the next episode isn't till February 4, 2014.

 

[Endeavor]

Chan (Sway) is a mutant too? If so she's off the table.

edit: nevermind. already mentioned

 

[Endeavor]

Carmilla Black

Blacks original origin would have made her the daughter of viper in the comics. Another hinted at fatherfforr her in the books is Bruce banner himself. Her adoptive parents were murdered and in the books her mother was the scientist supreme of AIM. the girl has deep ties to both AIM and hydra


Im pretty confident that no matter who she is or what powers she has... Im pretty certain its Hydra/AIM after her. And because of her story line shield will discover they still exist

Another likely possibility.
I like it.

Yeah the SSR was mostly a Military division. Howard Stark took the same Idea and Contacted most of the same group in the Marvel One-Shot AGENT CARTER (which is on the IM3 bluray as an extra) and started SHIELD with Peggy as one of the Leaders

Kind of makes me wonder what happened to Phillips after WWII and the SSR was disbanded.

lol NICE

 

[The Shape]

Feb 4th? Why another two week break?

 

[Vartha]

That's what I mean, the next episode isn't till February 4, 2014.

Super bowl week. MAYBE we'll see some extra Marvel Studio stuff during the Bowl?

 

[Vartha]

You can add Graviton and Blizzard to that list.

and Whiplash lol

 

[Brian Braddock]

Thanks, just sifting through all of the female Chinese Marvel characters with super powers significant enough to be considered objects of unknown origin.

There aren't many to choose from, assuming they aren't creating a new one.

Thats my sister you're talking about.

Sorry to be a pedant but Betsy isn't necessarily a Chinese character per se. Sure, she inhibits an Asian body but she was white from 1976 to when she switched bodies via mind transference.

Super bowl week. MAYBE we'll see some extra Marvel Studio stuff during the Bowl?

True but the Superbowl isn't until Feb 2nd. That wouldn't effect next week.
I thought it was the Olympics but those don't start until the 6th. Which thinking about the Olympics I see the ratings taking a hit during that week.

could be Olympics, I forgot about that.

 

[Silvermoon]

Regarding the break, someone on IMDb speculated:

1) In the 2nd half there are 12 episodes to be shown over 19 weeks
2) At least 6 of those 12 must be shown during sweeps (Feb & May).
3) That leaves 6 new episodes for Jan, Mar, & Apr. Thus you should expect 2 new episodes in each of those months. We've had our two for Jan

 

[Dr. Evil]

The more I think about it, the more I see Skye as Carmilla Black.

Her character has grown on me the last few weeks.

 

[Shikamaru]

Regarding the break, someone on IMDb speculated:

If that's true, it is so BS. The show finally keeps up pace and now they decide to air it less?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Well, IMDB posters a massive idiots.
