Background

Rikki Barnes originated from the Heroes Reborn universe, a parallel dimension created by Franklin Richards to house Earth’s greatest heroes during a time of crisis. In this world, Rikki was the granddaughter of Bucky Barnes and became a heroic ally to Captain America. She fought alongside him and other heroes to protect her world. During this time, she used the costumed identity of Bucky to honor her grandfather.

When the Heroes Reborn dimension collapsed, Rikki found herself transported to Earth-616, the primary Marvel Universe. Struggling to adjust, she adopted the mantle of Nomad, inspired by Steve Rogers’ time under the same name, and set out to make a difference in this new world.

As Nomad, Rikki fought to protect the vulnerable, forming alliances with other young heroes, including the Young Allies. She wielded a vibranium shield and employed her agility, wit, and courage to fight against crime and larger threats. Though she sometimes felt out of place in Earth-616, she was driven by the same heroic ideals that defined her in her original world.

Rikki Barnes faced death multiple times in her journey as a hero. Most notably, she sacrificed herself in battle to save innocents, earning the respect of her peers. However, her story did not end there. Through the intervention of mystical forces and lingering fragments of the Heroes Reborn dimension, Rikki was resurrected, her memories and heroic spirit intact.

Her recent resurrection brought with it a renewed sense of purpose. No longer weighed down by the uncertainty of her place in this world, she embraced her role as Nomad more fully. During her return to the superhero community, Rikki found a kindred spirit in Julie Power, who shared her own struggles with identity and purpose. Their shared experiences forged a strong bond, blossoming into a deep and romantic connection. Julie’s optimism and support helped Rikki find joy in her second chance at life, while Rikki’s resilience inspired Julie to continue evolving as a hero and individual.

The two now navigate the complexities of their relationship while balancing the demands of heroism, offering each other the understanding and love they need to thrive.

Rikki Barnes continues to honor her legacy while carving her own path, proving that even across worlds, the ideals of courage and selflessness remain universal.
