Read winter soldier: second chances and it was... Incredibly disappointing??? RJ's dad just hitting his head and dying was incredibly stupid and that part of him "not being a killer" would've been way better if he didn't kill that guy in the end.

I checked the wiki and he never reappears?? Like wtf.

RJ Boyle Profile

Note: RJ is a canon character that exists in the Marvel Comics Universe, he appeared in one 5 issue run by Kyle Higgins back in... 2018 I think? And hasn't been seen since. This RJ is very loosely based on him, but I changed his backstory so that he fit more with the MCU timeline I'm going for.

Backstory: RJ is the illegitimate son of Colonel Ivan Horowitz, a high-ranking HYDRA official. Stolen from his mother mere moments after his birth and raised in HYDRA uh… care? until the age of 5 when he was placed in an Assassin Training Program, headed by his father who also would eventually serve as his main handler (meaning he was also directly responsible for RJ's abuse). When he was a baby his mother came searching for him, trying to get him away from his father, so Ivan had her killed. In the program, RJ met Cody and Suki, two 16 year old kids who had been dragged into the program only about a year or two before him. They became older siblings to RJ, and were desperate to give him as close to a good life as they could. However, the program was hard, especially on the older kids who went through far more rigorous and abusive training. By the time RJ is 12 he's the only one left from the original batch, Cody, Suki, and the others dying either in training or on missions. A group of young kids were brought in, and RJ felt protective over them the same way Cody and Suki had been to him. He did his best to give them a little fun, but in the end he's the only one who makes it out. He starts going on missions at the age of 15, and is eventually sent to kill the Winter Soldier and the Chimera when they're baited into investigating a HYDRA compound. Juniper and Bucky manage to capture the boy and bring him back to the Avengers Compound, much to the dislike of literally everyone else. He's imprisoned and they start working to deprogram him despite the fact he's deep in the HYDRA shit. He's insistent they'll come get him, to which Bucky responds that if they got him back they would kill him, and that's thinking mercifully. When RJ begins to get frustrated Bucky shows him the scars from where a HYDRA officer whipped him until the Serum couldn't heal the scars, stating that this is what they do to their Assets when they fail a mission. He doesn't believe him, stating he'll be different. HYDRA attacks the Compound in an effort to get RJ back. However, they don't want him back for the reason he thinks, they plan on taking him back and either beating the crap out of him or killing him. They try to shoot him, but Bucky ends up taking the bullet. RJ realizes HYDRA doesn't want him back and that these people are actually caring for him even though they don't even know if they can trust him, so he ends up staying and joining the Avengers and kinda becomes Juniper and Bucky’s son and Kobik's older brother.

Trivia:

No one knows what RJ stands for, if anything.

He didn’t change his last name when Juniper and Bucky formally adopted him. They gave him the choice, obviously so they don’t care

Cody is actually the one who gave him the name RJ, and Suki had suggested Boyle for a last name. HYDRA didn’t give any of them names, just numbers, so they gave them to each other.

RJ didn't initially know his Biological Father was his handler, Bucky and Juniper found out after finding his file when they took the HYDRA base he was trained at. They took Horowitz prisoner.

RJ killed his father while he was in SABER custody, but staged it to look like he killed himself. The only ones who know this are Juniper and Bucky.

Also this is what he looks like in Canon if anyone was wondering (ft. Dad! Bucky)

Hey, RJ Boyle is a great character, I love him and it’s an injustice that he’s only appeared in five comics to date.

[theladyofspaceandtime]

The way Bucky acts like a Dad concerned about their child with RJ. Just Bucky Barnes with kids. 😭😭

He’d honestly make a great father.

Juniper is the child of two scientists who were laid off in 2008, and ended up getting picked up by "SHIELD" but it was pre TWS so it's really HYDRA with a SHIELD coat of paint but by the time they realize something is wrong they're threatened by the CSO that if they leave he'll kill their kids. Juniper ends up getting injected with a version of the Super Soldier Serum that their family created because the same dude told them if they were so confident their Serum would work they would have to try it on one of their kids, so Juniper volunteered. At first they thought it was a failure so Juniper was gonna be killed, but they got nervous and shifted on accident. They end up turning them into The Chimera, partner to the Winter Soldier. They're essentially Bucky's sidekick for 6 years, and during that time they do their best to keep each other safe and form... Some sort of bond? I'd say friends but also Bucky isn't y'know conscious so I dunno. Anyways, they escape during CATWS, specifically during the scene when Bucky gets tortured. They don't want to leave their friend behind, but they only have one chance so they take it. They end up meeting with Steve and co. And participate in the final fight on the side of SHIELD. Sam takes them in after the fight and he gets them to open up and the two actually become really close, Juniper thinking of him as a Big Brother. They reunite with Bucky during Civil war, fight on the side of Team Cap, stay in Wakanda with Bucky and end up getting into a relationship during that time. Then Infinity War and Endgame happen and after a trial that ends with Bucky's pardon the two settle in Brooklyn alongside Juniper's pet Wolfdog Fenrir who Ill make a profile for later because he's a lot. I'm gonna cut it off there for now because I could literally go on for days, but that's Juniper in a Nutshell!!

Backstory: so the full backstory is written out here, however it is. 13 pages long. You're more than welcome to read it if you want to, but I'll give the sparknotes version here:
