Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes is a World War II veteran, former officer of the 107th Infantry Regiment, and best friend of Steve Rogers since childhood. Barnes was assigned to the 107th in 1943. His regiment was captured by HYDRA, where he was experimented on by Arnim Zola. Barnes, along with whoever remained from his regiment, were later rescued by Rogers who had become Captain America during Barnes' absence. Upon joining forces in the war, Barnes and Rogers formed the Howling Commandos to battle the Red Skull's forces. However, during an attempt to finally capture Zola in the Austrian Alps, Barnes was caught in their ambush and plummeted hundreds of feet from a train. As no body was ever recovered, Barnes was then presumed deceased.
