So wait... Crossbones is a SHIELD operative, but it still says he's a villain? Is he a rogue SHIELD operative? Or... I have another theory, but spoiler warning in case it turns out to be true.

It says Barnes is brainwashed as the Winter Soldier, right? What if, Crossbones is being brainwashed too... by Zola? In his android form, he has some sort of brainwashing power or device, and is using Crossbones, a highly trained SHIELD operative, and Barnes as his personal "flying monkeys"
