Today we'll focus on the man no one thought would ever come back in the comics and then did, as a killing machine no less. Winter Soldier/Bucky was Cap's original sidekick in the 40's and was presumed dead - but writer Ed Brubaker brought Bucky back as mind-wiped assassin The Winter Soldier and completely changed the Marvel U. Here are a few Winter Soldier collectibles (and a tidbit you may not appreciate like I do).
Captain America Vol. 5 #6 (2006)

The first appearance of Winter Soldier was technically in the first issue of this series, but this alternate cover of issue 6 brings Winter Soldier to the forefront and is one of the hottest collectibles for the character.

Yes, Bowen again. Can we help it they made so many great statues? Doesn't get any better than this rendition of the metal armed assassin.
Nomad #1 (1990)

No, he's not Winter Soldier. But he was first. Before Brubaker made Bucky a killing machine, Cap's partner from the '80s, Nomad (Jack Monroe), was wearing long brown hair and had a real similar vibe. No coincidence that Winter Soldier made good ol' Jack one of his first targets. To bury the evidence of character-borrowing? You decide.
