Bucky Barnes is a super interesting case since his identity questions are so marked in canon and so interesting to fandom!
I will admit to still growling in frustration when people call him the Asset like it's a codename, though - asset is a generic term in spycraft! They're all assets in Shield's account books, it's not special for the Soldier! I will die on this hill! Anyway it makes it *worse* that they're just calling him by a generically depersonalizing noun.
