Supporting Character Supplemental - Nomad / Rikki Barnes
Rebecca ‘Rikki’ Barnes was born in Dimension F, a pocket reality created by Franklin Richards so to save the lives of his family and The Avengers. These heroes sacrificed the,selves to destroy the villain Onslaught and Richard’s subconsciously created a whole new reality to transport them to. This reality with replete with an earth populated by countless sentient souls that Franklin had manifested into creation by his awesome powers.
Rikki was one of the beings created on this earth, the granddaughter of Captain America’s allies during the Second World War. An accomplished athlete and talented dancer, young Rikki became involved with the affairs of Captain America when her older brother fell in with a villainous group led by The Red Skull. Nikki made her own costume reminiscent of that worn by Cap’s war-time partner, Bucky, and eventually won Cap over to accepting her aide. As the new Bucky, Rikki, Captain America and The Falcon were able to defeat the Red Skull. From there on out, Rikki continued on as Cap’s sidekick.
Ultimately, Franklin’s constructed dimension began to break down. Franklin was able to transport the original heroes back to Earth 616, but the other residents of Dimension F were doom and would have perished had it not been for the intervention of the Celestial known as Ashema, who fortified the dimension as its own distinct alternate reality.
Following further adventures alongside The Thunderbolts and her own team, the Young Allies, Rikki would eventually transport to the 616 Universe due to the mechanisms of a remnant of Onslaught trying to return. Taking on the new alias of ‘Nomad,’ Rikki would have further adventures and recreated a new iteration of The Young Allies. She came to discover that Onslaught was using her as a conduit to facilitate his return. Hence Rikki chose to sacrificer herself in order to prevent Onslaught’s return.
Following the Secret Wars event, Rikki was resurrected in a new world created by Franklin Richards and the Future Foundation. Continuing on as Nomad, Rikki joined the Future Foundation and had further adventures alongside the team. During this time, she had a romanced with her teammate, Julia Power (Lightspeed).
The heroine first appeared in the pages of Heroes Reborn #½ (1996).
