5. When Comic Lore Comes To Reality In More Ways Than One
In the original Captain America comic, his best friend Bucky remained dead for decades. Nevertheless, one writer brought him back, and his name is Ed Brubaker. Moreover, he got to do so not just once, but twice. In Captain America: Winter Soldier, when Bucky is in the chair with a contraption on his head, Brubaker is the one that is “bringing” Bucky back to life. The little cameo is definitely a nod to the work he put into creating one of the most exciting storylines in Marvel’s history, especially involving Captain America.
