Ooh, I love this. Short hair and nakedness and freaking out over the arm makes me think this is Bucky not long after they operated on him, maybe before they had him completely brainwashed. The missing plates in the arm suggest they were still working out the bugs and perfecting it. You don’t see much fanwork from that time period.

An elaboration/clarification in response to this explanation of how Bucky’s prosthetic functions, based on breakthroughs in the field of biotechnology that have been getting mainstream attention in recent years. Namely: Neuromusculoskeletal prosthetic technology, also known colloquially as ‘bionic arms’.

While Bucky’s prosthetic more advanced because it uses comic book science, this information is helpful all the same; especially for people writing his character (and if you are, I encourage you to research this technology and get a grasp of the fundamentals).

To start, the socket is osseointegrated. This in itself is not new a new surgical technique and is a long-established method of amputation. What osseointegration means is the socket that prosthetic attaches (or 'anchors’) to is integrated into/fused with Bucky’s bones.

Now, how do these prosthetics move and feel? Here is a brief, but informative explanation targeted at laypeople:

The “Cradle” and Bucky’s Arm

So if the cradle from Avengers, Age of Ultron can “print” biologic material, why didn’t they just print Bucky a new flesh arm?
