** Aleksander Lukin is a cold CorruptCorporateExecutive who wants to restore the USSR so he can have his military prestige again. To this end he uses the Cosmic Cube to blow up Philadelphia, brainwash other [=CEOs=], and use the Winter Soldier to murder anyone troublesome. But one can see why he'd miss that position, having worked his way up to a place of power after being orphaned in World War II. He also shows his moral side when [[spoiler:he abandons the Cosmic Cube after it drives him mad enough to nearly kill his friend]]. By the end of the arc, he's [[spoiler:got the Red Skull trapped in his mind, a fate sure to drive him mad even without the Cube.]]
** Winter Soldier himself, as [[spoiler:years of brainwashing have eliminated nearly every memory of who he used to be]]. Luckily, Cap's [[spoiler:use of the Cosmic Cube restores his old identity.]]

* EpilepticTrees: A common fan-theory that emerged about the final issue was that [[spoiler:Winter Soldier wasn't Bucky Barnes, but some random guy that Cap brainwashed into thinking he was Bucky through the power of the Cosmic Cube]]. Ed Brubaker eventually {{Jossed}} that one in an interview with Newsrama, pointing out that [[spoiler:Cap, while holding the Cube, said, "Remember who you are", not "Become who I think you are" or "Be Bucky".]]

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: ''This'' is the comic that forever changed the image of [[spoiler: Bucky Barnes]] from "Marvel's even lamer [[AlternateCompanyEquivalent Robin analogue]]" to [[spoiler: a stone-cold and merciless assassin]], to the extent that some people now know him better as the latter than as the former.
