jan 1, 1963 - Winter Soldier Begins Killing ?

Description:

1964 - This is technically when the Winter Soldier's kills start being counted, if you take Natasha's 'the last 50 years' literally. So I'm going to ignore pre-64 history, pretty much, and assume that the 5-10 years after June 1954 were spent turning Bucky into The Winter Soldier with mindfucking, training, languages, ect. It's important to note that in the comics, Bucky was never tortured, per se. Not physically, I guess, though the line is thin. He was already an amnesiac, so they used a combination of sensory deprivation and 'Mental Implantation' experiments to make him loyal to them. You don't make someone loyal by beating the shit out of them, you know? There's also clear evidence in the movies in the way Bucky reacts to people; he is clearly in charge of the STRIKE team, not taking their orders, he doesn't flinch when Steve touches him, nor does he mind one bit the Wakandan doctors who are hooking him up to IVs, ect. If you want to think Bucky was tortured, I guess you do you and stuff, but I really dislike thinking about a decade of torture, friends.
