00:00There is a reason why Black Panther called Bucky Barnes White Wolf, and many people don't realize
00:04it. In the comics, the White Wolf is a completely different character. His real name is Hunter,
00:11a boy who fell into Wakanda with his family as a child, being the sole survivor of the accident.
00:15King Chaka, Black Panther's father, decided to adopt and train him. Hunter grew up in Wakanda
00:20and became a great warrior, just like Black Panther himself. That's why Marvel used this
00:24story as a reference for Bucky's nickname in the MCU. Since Bucky was taken in, cared for,
00:28and trained in Wakanda, he came to be called White Wolf because of his new role within the nation.
00:32In the MCU, the White Wolf represents Bucky's new identity. After freeing himself from Hydra's
00:36control, he goes through a process of physical and emotional healing in Wakanda, marking the
00:40beginning of a new phase in his life. In the comics, the White Wolf eventually becomes the leader of
00:44Wakanda's secret police, the War Dogs, which shows the weight of that title. It is still
00:48unknown whether Marvel will further develop this identity in the future.
