James Barnes (Earth-1198)

History
"I've killed my fair share of people. Some deserved it, sure. But on the flipside, there are some who didn't. Who were put in harms way because of my actions. Today, I honour those who died because of my actions. Those who were slaughtered because they were in the way. It's a curse above anything else. I'm tortured by the souls of the innocents that I killed, and it's the biggest burden I could carry. I was told in Camp Lehigh that when we die, our burdens are strapped to our backs and we have to walk through a vast desert, dragged down by our burdens. I fear that I'll have too much. I'll fall to my knees and buckle under the pressure. But for now, I'm doing what I think is good. Sure there'll always be innocents who get in my way, but a price often has to be payed to help the greater good."
