Throughout his eighty-year history in the comics, Captain America has often worked alongside others, whether it’s with individual partners or his various teammates in the Invaders and the various Avengers teams.
However, the two partners who are best known, and have collectively spent the most time fighting by Cap’s side, are James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes, a.k.a. the Winter Soldier, and Samuel Thomas “Sam” Wilson, a.k.a. the Falcon.
