We all have things that most people don’t know about us. Maybe it’s that your favorite color is pink, or even that you can put your leg behind your head. There are always some things that completely go over our heads if we've never really looked at someone. It shows how much can be los𒁏t in translation when looking at somebody. Whatever we're all hiding, it probably isn’t as extreme as some Marvel superheroes and their hidden powers. From being able to learn really well, to just understanding every known language to man, it's no wonder they decide to hide their powers. Here’s looking at you, Taskmaster and Cypher.
Just about any normal power turns into a superpower when you dial it up to an eleven. It's hard to say what really constitutes as a𓄧 superpower when you look at some of the characters in the comic book universe.
The Marvel comic book and cinematic universe is a massive world that has brought us countless hours of superhero action and bad guy beat ‘em ups. With all of those comics and movies, there have to be some absurd or lesser-known facts about Marvel’s superheroes. While some may be as simple as a cybernetic arm that gives you super strength or being trained as a fearless Russian, some powers aren’t as obviou꧅s. Getting down into those hidden powers that suddenly make sense, here are some of the Winter Soldier's powers and weaknesses that fans never knew he had.
20 Superpower💃: Semi-I🍷mmortality
When Bucky Barnes first became the Winter Soldier, he was put int🐓o an induced coma via Soviet Union scientists. He would be periodically resurrected by the same scientists for secret Soviet🍷 spy missions, only to be put on ice again and again.
Even though he appears to be in his late 20s or his early 30s, the Winter෴ Soldier is actually 101. He could theoretically live fore🀅ver with this process if he needed, but it also causes extreme memory loss. Plus, he's lost years of his life.
19 🌠 Weakness: Mental Instability ꦺ
Being frozen for🤡 year after year can take a real toll on your mind. Not to mention, being mind controlled for years would definitely destroy your mental state. Soviet HYDRA 💞agents would constantly use and exploit the Winter Soldier for their own missions.
The Winter Soldier can frequently be seen not knowing who other people are and confusing them for other people. That, and having people use you for the majority of your life would lead to some seriou🦂s mental instability.
18 Superpower: Rapid He🅠aling Rate
Surprisingly enough, the Winter Soldier has a ♈rapid healing rate, because he was given the super soldier ser🥀um, granting him powers that rival Captain America's. However, because of a serum given to him by HYDRA, he didn’t develop any changes to his personality or his mind.
The Winter Soldier has fallen from a train as well as los👍t his left arm, and he still surviꦓved because of this serum. He has barely survived many of the injuries he has sustained over the years due to him being frozen.
17 ꦺ Weakness: Guilty Conscience
When your mind isn’t your own, along with your will, you’re going to make a few enemies in life. The Winter Soldier is known for being successful on his infamous mission that took place on December 16th, 1991, involvi♌ng Iroꦗn Man's parents.
Bucky certainly has his share of regrets in what little part of his life he had control of, let alone the parts that he didn’t.
He’s often lamenting those whoꦓ are no longer with hiﷺm or those who no longer want to see him.
16 Superpower: Sailing 𓆏
Within his intense training of becoming a sleeper agent for HYDRA, he alsoꦦ trained to be a legendary sailor. According to his character background, he has many abilities that he doesn’t always need to use, or they are only used in rare circumstances.
Sailing is one of these, along with aviation and other useful abilities.
The Winter Soldier 🎃seems like he only has a few things he can do, but he has a few tricks up his sleeves that many people don’t know about.
15 Weakness: Lost In Time 𒊎
Being born in 1917 and liv💎ing to be 101 will make you feel like you don’t belong. Especially being resurrected constantly without having any memories of your past, and seeing things change constantly around you without seeing the context o❀f your decisions.
Granted, it is not as bad Captain Ameri✅ca being gone for lots of years at a time, but Bucky saw many things come and go without ever gett🙈ing to participate in them. He was robbed of his young adult life, and flung into a being a hero.
14 Superpower: F🍒luent In Many Languages ꦛ
While being able to fly, or to conjure up portals at will are pretty coo♛l, so it’s being fluent in about 10 different languages. From European languages to Asian ones, the Winter Soldier has a lot going for him that doesn't invol🦂ve beating up bad guys... or good guys, for that matter.
The Winter Soldier uses the many languages he knows in order ꦇto infiltrate and further his spying capabilities. That and it’s also a nice party trick to show off your other languages.
13 ꦗ Weak🧸ness: Memory Loss
Ever have a dream that was amazing, but when you wake up y𒉰ou forget everything? Imagine that being every day and that you forget what you did yesterday, which is actually a couple of years ago. That’s a day in the life of the Winter Soldier.
Not being able to rememberꦦ wh🍌at you did in your life can lead to lead some bad things, especially if you can’t remember going on top-secret missions that ended with up with people no longer being there.
12 ♔ Superpower: EMP ꦐ
Hidden within his☂ cybernetic arm, the Winter Soldier has an electromagnetic pulse that he can use to knock out any electronic within a certain area. This is a hidden ability, however, because you don’t see the Winter Soldier use it much. This is because of his own cybernetic arm. It’s kind of a last-𒉰ditch use, because if used his arm would most likely be down.
It makes sꦚense as to why this power isn’t as used as ofte𓆉n as some of his others, because it would shut down any of his allies' electronics as well.
11 �🌳� Weakness: EMP
If an EMꦏP is detonated near the Winter Soldier, his cybernetic arm would be knocked offline. This is strange, considering he has an EMP to use for himself against his enemies. You would think that wouldn’t help him out that much.
It would also disarm some of the other weapons that he might have as well, making him forced to use only hand-to-hand combat, which he is quite♛ good at, but he would be defenseless against any ranged attack.
