Nomad

Rikki Barnes, a young woman displaced from an alternate universe where she served as Captain America's partner, adopted the Nomad identity after finding herself stranded in the mainstream Marvel Universe, fighting to forge a new heroic path alongside fellow young heroes.

A fresh face from Marvel's Modern Age, Nomad burst onto the scene in 2010 courtesy of creator Rafael Albuquerque, carving out a niche in a corner of the Marvel Universe populated by some genuinely exciting young heroes. With appearances spanning Onslaught Unleashed, Young Allies, and Captain America, this is a character who moves in compelling company — sharing pages with the likes of Firestar, Anya Corazon, and Gravity. Though her catalog footprint is compact, the titles she graces speak to a character plugged into the heart of Marvel's action, and for collectors with a taste for Modern Age gems and the stories that briefly blazed bright, Nomad is a rewarding discovery worth tracking down.
