Winter Soldier's Bionic Arm

James Buchanan Barnes (Earth-616) from Captain America Vol 5 11 001

This bionic arm was originally developed by Department X with schematics for robotic appendages stolen from MI-6. The very first prototype was used to replace Bucky Barnes's lost arm, giving Department X the clearance to begin working on the Winter Soldier Project.[1]

The bionic arm is capable of accomplishing various feats, including:

  • Superhuman Strength: The Bionic arm grants a degree of superhuman strength.[2] It is possible that the arm can lift a vehicle with considerable effort.
  • Extended Reach: The Bionic arm can reach at long distance of at least several yards.[2]
  • Cybernetic Defense
  • Stabilization Sensors
  • Palm Sensors
  • Sensory Array
  • Electrical Discharge
  • Electromagnetic Pulse
