Stephen Curry’s outrageously skilled shooting has earned him some interesting nicknames, but now, he’s a Marvel Cinematic Universe character, thanks to his latest attire.
Curry finally returned to the Golden State Warriors lineup after missing 11 games due to a shoulder injury, but it wasn’t enough to help the team as they lost 125-113 to the Phoenix Suns.
The sharpshooter had 24 points upon his return with a rebound and three assists. While his return certainly comes as welcome news for fans, his arm sleeve and expression saw him draw comparisons with Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier in the MCU.
One of the instances saw Curry wear a villainous expression on his face. The sleeve further added to the effect and had fans reacting on social media.

A left shoulder subluxation sidelined him for a good 11 games earlier this season, but the Warriors, despite the disappointing outcome against the Suns, will be relieved to see Curry suit up in the games going forward.
The Golden State Warriors Aren’t In Trouble Yet, But Thankfully They Have Stephen Curry Back
The defending champions have looked far from elite when compared to their dominant regular season run last year. At the time of writing, they’re placed eighth in a stacked Western Conference.
But there is good news over the horizon, especially after Curry explained how he felt in the aftermath of the loss. The 34-year-old said he was keen to see how his body would hold up after a break, but his 24 points showed that he was able to shake off the rust quickly.
“After four weeks, it’s obviously kind of hit-or-miss on how much rust you’ll have and how quickly you can get up to the speed of the game. Obviously with the flow, with the way they were playing, first quarter felt good just to be back out there running with my guys and feeling the energy in the building again. And then kind of hit a little lull in the second and third quarter. I felt like I got stronger as the game went on, which is exciting knowing the body will respond.”
The Warriors are now on a three-game losing streak, slipping to 20-21. They have a chance to equalize and surge over the .500 mark when they take on the San Antonio Spurs on Friday.
