Putting a potential TFA blurb here for reference. Morgan695 (talk) 00:26, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Stucky is a term used to denote the pairing of Steve Rogers (Captain America) and James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes (the Winter Soldier), fictional characters appearing in comic books and related media produced by Marvel Comics. It is a manifestation of shipping, a phenomenon in fandom wherein individuals create fan works that depict a romantic or sexual relationship between two characters; Stucky is an example of slash, a genre of fan works that focus on same-sex characters. Though Rogers and Barnes have appeared in media dating to the 1940s, Stucky fan works grew substantially in popularity in the 2010s following their appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Critics and commentators have used the popularity of Stucky in fandom to remark on a range of topics, including the lack of LGBT characters in superhero films and the nature of fandom on social media.

Thanks, I'll take another look when it gets closer to running. - Dank (push to talk) 15:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. If the blurb needs an image to run with it, I'd suggest using File:Captain America's shield.svg; though the image doesn't appear in the article itself, I think it more accurately depicts the subject compared to the images of Evans and Stan in the article, as it focuses on Captain America as a character rather than the actor(s) who portrayed him.
