The person who figured out the actor who played Pierce looked like Steve when he was younger and created the head canon that HYDRA hired him to be Bucky's handler for that reason has to answer for the pain they have caused
Thinking about this panel from Thunderbolts (2023) #2 today.
Bucky tearing down the Outer Circle was known in the supervillain community, and he’s (conveniently, in this case) considered one of them now. What’s really interesting to me is Nefaria’s comment to Natasha, “what a delight to see you back among your proper peers.”
They operate in such morally grey areas that it’s plausible for them to just waltz into the Hellfire Club with an invitation. And even if it’s just making small talk, I like the idea of villains being relieved that Nat and Bucky might finally stop coming after them.
Which they won’t. They’re just going do it in matching evening wear.
Who the hell is Bucky?
Fixed the slight foreshortening error from before and… yeah.
How to antagonise your boyfriend by Natasha Romanoff
a coven of chaos indeed
The Asset is a flawed machine. He is the shattered pieces of what may have at one point in time qualified as a ‘person’. Sentiment is a malfunction. They tell him this and he knows it, yet he repeats the same mistakes over again, wipes be damned.
His handlers are very wise. They have created methods to counteract the corrosion of his loyalty.

Can we talk about how Steve Rogers would probably fight to keep abortion legal and safe, because he saw how many people used to die back in the day because all abortions were illegal and unsafe and he knows if a person is pregnant and don’t want to be pregnant they will find a way to not be pregnant?
Can we talk about Steve Rogers telling off right wing politicians who say minimum wage isn’t supposed to be a living wage? Can we have him saying ‘No, I remember when it was instituted. It was supposed to be a living wage, senator.’
Can we talk about Steve Rogers supporting a raise in SNAP benefits, because he knows how it feels to go hungry?
Can we talk about Steve Rogers having problems with this country’s military industrial complex?
