n-barnes: Best guess is because he’s a cold war myth that’s turnin’ out to be true. They called him the Winter Soldier. Supposed to be the KGB’s secret weapon. A guy who could pass for American and slip behind enemy lines or cross borders without raisin’ an eyebrow. Deadly with a knife or a riffle…even deadlier hand-to-hand. And since he was a ghost, half the time they weren’t even sure if it was an accident or a murder. -- source link
