As someone who has read Marvel Comics since the mid sixties, I would expect Black Panther (even pre genius/inventor retcon) to wipe the floor with Bucky. Bucky is an interesting character, but he isn’t likely to best the Panther without help a sympathetic script writer.

Yup. This. Sorry, ghosthost... but, as someone who actually has read every single Marvel superhero comics from the '60s and '70s, sans exception -- yes, I'm exactly that big a lifelong geek, thank you ;) -- Edd has it exactly right: Bucky could no more win out over Black Panther in a fair fight than Ant-Man could take on Thor. Them's the facts.

I respect that you have read the comics, I'm just saying it was a stroke of happenstance for Marvel to put out this new character at this time. It reminds me of the Spanish-language version of Pirates-- where Captain Sparrow and his girlfriend are yelling at each other like Lucy and Ricky.

I won't mention Spanish-Buzz. Oh, I just did.
