Does Sam take the super-soldier Serum in the comics?
The beauty of Sam Wilson as Captain America is how he speaks for and empathizes with, the people. He has no powers, no Super-Soldier Serum to enhance his strength, no mutant abilities, not even a vast fortune and the know-how to create a high-tech armory.
During the fight, Sam Wilson is shot and gravely wounded, but Captain America saves his life by giving him a transfusion of the Super-Soldier's own blood. Consequently, Wilson gains superhuman abilities comparable to those of Captain America. His military nickname, "The Falcon", becomes his superhero code name.

With Barnes' identity becoming public, he is put on trial for the crimes he committed as the Winter Soldier.
He became the Winter Soldier. After Steve Rogers was supposedly assassinated, Bucky was specifically given the shield. There was no one Steve Rogers trusted more to take on the role of Captain America.
The fact of the matter is, the arm still functions as a part of his body. The superpowered enhancements do not change the fact that he will still naturally experience pain when his body is put under such stress, especially when the arm is attached to so many nerves that could've been damaged from losing his actual arm.
Despite giving Bucky eight hours with Zemo, the Dora Milaje eventually came for him, which led to Bucky fighting those who aided and supported him so much. This naturally resulted in the Wakandans seeing Bucky as a traitor, specifically Ayo herself. Wakanda is not wrong to be angered by Bucky's actions.
On a 1945 mission gone wrong, Bucky fell to his assumed death, losing his left arm in his fall from a train. When he was recovered by Hydra and brainwashed to become the Winter Soldier, he was given a titanium prosthetic arm, but he didn't keep it for long.
“Sam and Steve had a relationship where they admired, appreciated and loved each other,” Mackie said. “Bucky and Sam have a relationship where they learn how to accept, appreciate and love each other. You'd call it a bromance, but it's literally just two guys who have each other's backs.”
Thor. Thor, the god of Thunder, was undoubtedly the most powerful member of the original Avengers. His power continues to grow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Black Panther, the alter ego of T'Challa, genius ruler of the fictional African kingdom of Wakanda, is considered the first black superhero to be featured in mainstream American comics. In 1968, Black Panther was added to the roster of Marvel Comics' super-group, The Avengers, Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Who became Captain America after Steve Rogers in the comics?
Steve Rogers' longtime partner Bucky Barnes assumed the role of Captain America following Steve Rogers' death in the 2007 storyline "The Death of Captain America".
While Sam isn't a super-soldier, the MCU's next Captain America is still more than capable of accomplishing the impossible. During The Falcon and The Winter Soldier finale, Sam dons a new costume that was made by allies in Wakanda, making it a huge upgrade for the former Falcon.
Bucky owes his youthful appearance to repeated cryo-freezes orchestrated by the Russians. He possesses no super powers and never received a form of the Super Soldier Serum as many assume, but continues to operate at peak human ability.
In December 2025, Nebula went to Earth specifically to steal Bucky Barnes' vibranium arm from him. After defeating him, she succeeded in removing his arm and took it with her back to space, intending to give it to Rocket Raccoon as a Christmas present.
Iron Man also strongly retaliates against Barnes after finding out that the Winter Soldier was responsible for the death of Stark's parents while under HYDRA control, and that Rogers hid the information from him.
What does Ayo say to Bucky after removing his arm?
Considering both the significance of Bast in Wakandan culture and Bucky's reaction to the words, "Bast damn you" seems to be one of the harshest curses that Ayo could have hurled.

Nebula simply wrestled the arm off Bucky in the name of Christmas. Gunn also confirmed that the Guardians of the Galaxy purchased Knowhere, the planet where part of the special is set.
Bucky Barnes, like Steve Rogers, has lived for several decades due to cryogenic freezing and the super-soldier serum. Bucky's life expectancy could potentially surpass Steve's 116 years, depending on circumstances. Despite outwardly aging at the same rate as Steve, Bucky can still live for at least another 80 years.
