Avengers: Armageddon Reveals Bucky Barnes Can Regenerate From Bones

In Marvel’s Avengers: Armageddon #5, Bucky Barnes survives a nuclear explosion that leaves him reduced to bones.

Nick Fury Sr. retrieves him and calls him a “miracle.”

The issue also shows David Colton transforming into Miracleman by saying “Kimota,” which restores his body instantly.

Miracleman’s healing works faster than Wolverine’s, whose body must repair itself over time.

But Colton can be killed like an ordinary human if he cannot say the word and transform.

Bucky’s recovery suggests he may be a second Miracleman, though the issue does not confirm this.

The story does not say what happens next to Bucky or whether his apparent connection to Miracleman will be confirmed.
