How The Winter Soldier Should Play in Marvel's Avengers

gamerant.com:

Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor only released recently, but fans are already excited about the next potential character to arrive in Marvel’s Avengers. Rumors of a leaked She-Hulk have been around for a considerable amount of time, and while she is still allegedly slated to appear at some point as a playable character, it seems as if another character is set to arrive before her. If legitimate, several reliable leaks have since pointed to the possibility of the Winter Soldier being added to Marvel’s Avengers.

Many fans’ familiarity with James Buchanan Barnes comes directly from the MCU, where he has undoubtedly become more popular as a character. If Bucky is added, Marvel’s Avengers will once again have no shortage of cosmetic skin inspirations to draw from for the character between his major role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and his latest appearance in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. But how the Winter Soldier would play is another question entirely, and he has certain accessories and firearms in his arsenal that Marvel’s Avengers could consider.

Because so many of Marvel’s Avengers’ playable characters are adaptable as echo characters, it makes sense that Bucky could be introduced as an echo of Black Widow. Natasha Romanoff’s stealth and expertise as an assassin spy is no different from Bucky’s own elusive espionage strategies, and her use of dual pistols already establishes a template for Bucky to use his own firearms.

Bucky can be seen using a myriad of firearms throughout the comic book source material as well as throughout the MCU, which could all feasibly be swapped between for different attacks in Marvel’s Avengers’ gameplay.
