Sam Wilson won't be the only person claiming the mantle of Captain America in The Falcon & The Winter Soldier. Thanks to Jack Kirby's famously expressive artwork, Agent 13 is a swining-60s super-spy in those tales of suspense, a worthy member of Cap's team and a memorable hero who deserves more attention from MCU fans.

But her most fun stories come in the early days of Captain America comics, right after the tile changed from an anthology series starring various sci-fi characters to a solo Cap title. To see why that’s such a big deal, you can check out any number of Agent 13 stories, including the high-espionage tales in Brubaker and Steve Epting’s early 2000s Captain America comics and the thoughtful take in take in Ta-Nehisi Coates's recent run. But she will return for The Falcon & The Winter Soldier, much to the joy of comic book fans. While Peggy has received lots of attention in the MCU, Sharon has only appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War and in a flash of Avengers: Endgame, played each time by Emily VanCamp. But in the comics, it's Peggy's niece Sharon Carter, aka Agent 13, who holds the Captain’s heart. MCU fans know SHIELD Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) as Steve Rogers’s great love. With the help of co-writer Marc Andreyko and artist Chris Samnee, Brubaker finds multiple dimensions to the character, giving him the depth of a real teen during wartime, without erasing the absurdity of a kid superhero fighting Nazis. The Life Story of Bucky Barnes retells Bucky’s early adventures as Captain America’s sidekick. When writer Ed Brubaker brought Bucky back as the Winter Soldier forty years later, he not only needed to retcon the hero's death but the boy's life as well. Teen sidekicks fit well within comics from the 40s and 50s, but when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby revived Captain America in 1963’s Avengers #4, they decided to leave Bucky in the past, killing Cap’s pal in the same explosion that buried Rogers in the ice. In the comics, Bucky was not an adult partner but a teen sidekick, in the mold of Batman's boy wonder Robin. MCU fans know James “Bucky” Barnes as Steve Rogers’s childhood best friend, who went MIA on a mission in World War II only to return as a Soviet assassin called the Winter Soldier.
