“Nomad Madcap Cap...”

In "Nomad Madcap Cap...", Steve Rogers returns from England only to walk away from his life as a corporate consultant, setting the stage for a pivotal shift in his partnership with Nomad. As Nomad confronts Madcap on Coney Island, the truth behind the villain’s twisted origin begins to surface—linked to a tragic crash involving an AIM vehicle and a church group. With Paul Neary’s dynamic art and Dennis Janke’s sharp inks defining the cover, this 1985 issue delivers a high-stakes showdown that forces Nomad to confront his own identity, while Sidewinder’s prison break sets new threats in motion.

Steve Rogers returns from England and quits the ad agency. Nomad visits Madcap on Coney Island. He learns that Madcap gained his powers when his church group's bus was in a crash with an AIM vehicle. The crash killed the rest of the members and drove him insane. But Madcap survived thanks to exposure to the AIM chemicals being transported. Nomad defeats Madcap by himself and decides to quit as Cap's partner in order to become his own hero rather than working in Cap's shadow. Sidewinder frees Cobra from prison and makes business offers to other villains.
