Main Verse: Not CA: TWS compliant. The Winter Soldier was created by the Russians' Department X, a program called the Red Room. He was found after falling from the train and captured, placed on ice for almost a decade before he was brought back and given a bionic arm. Either from the ice or falling, he had no memory of who he used to be, and thus became the prototype for Project: Winter Soldier, brainwashed and trained to be loyal to Mother Russia and to his masters. He served intermittently over the next several decades as a black ops and wetworks specialist, used for important missions and assassinations over the years. It became clear that leaving him out of cryostasis for too long allowed his mind to start trying to fill in the blanks about his past, causing cracks in his programming and making him question orders (and in one case go AWOL for two weeks after a mission in the US). It became procedure to wipe his mind clean before putting him in stasis and then again after waking him, and re-implanting whatever programming was needed for the mission. He was eventually obtained by Aleksandr Lukin after the fall of the Soviet Union, and used for his own furthering of General Karpov's original ideas; in the process of this he was captured by SHIELD and spent months in their custody, working with psychics and psychologists to slowly work through breaking his programming and attempting to fill in his memory. He is since been released, but under strict observation for any sign of relapse.
