James Buchanon Barnes grew up in Russia with his best friend Natasha Romanoff. But Bucky Barnes is the one who signed the modeling contract of a small company at the young age of 17.

By the time he was 18, his face was plastered across Russia and everyone who had eyes knew his name.

When he was 19, he had been dubbed The Winter Solider, and news of him spread all throughout Europe.

At the age of 20, Stark Industries, a modeling company, called and offered him a contract. He signed it a few weeks later and became a Stark Angle.
