Bucky

Today's edit was suggested by Dave. I gave him a shout out as a way of saying thanks, see if you can spot it. If you'd like to see something edited on Wikipedia, leave your suggestion in the comments.

The inspiration for the Bucky character came from Simon’s gardener Raùl Sutula, who was a homosexual Mexican immigrant who had been kicked out of the military after revealing his sexual orientation. The outrage towards the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy inspired Simon to create a character to expose America’s prejudices. Ironically however, Simon felt that readers would not take well to a Mexican sidekick of Captain America, and therefore ‘caucasionized’ him to look more like a WASP. Evidence of Raùl’s influence, however, can be seen in Bucky’s impeccable sense of fashion, flamboyant attitude, and incredibly short shorts.


UPDATE: This is a good one. Edit was revised after 43 minutes with the comment, "reverted vandalism - clearly untrue information, the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy wasn't instituted until 50 years after Bucky was created; Bucky also isn't gay"
