Rebecca "Rikki" Barnes is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. First introduced as the Counter-Earth incarnation of Bucky during the "Heroes Reborn" event, Rikki crossed over to Earth-616 in Onslaught Reborn where she operates as Nomad.

Rikki Barnes first appears in Captain America (vol. 2) #1 (November 1996) and was created by Jeph Loeb and Rob Liefeld.

There are currently two versions of Rikki Barnes existing in the main Marvel Universe. The first is the version introduced in the Heroes Reborn series of books. She is native to this world that was created by Franklin Richards in order to save his family, the Fantastic Four, and the rest of the heroes who 'died' fighting Onslaught. Franklin was able to access this world through a blue orb he created. The heroes were healed and given new memories to adjust to this new reality. Rikki Barnes was a native to this world and granddaughter to her world's version of Bucky Barnes.

Her brother John was involved with a radical group led by the Red Skull and through that contact she met Captain America, eventually becoming his protégé. He and the other heroes left this world when they realized the danger they presented to it in Heroes Return, and Rikki stayed behind. Through various events this world was eventually brought into the Marvel Universe proper and is now the new Counter-Earth. But the crossover caused great ecological change and half the world was submerged underwater. Rikki eventually formed a group of like minded individuals to bring order and they called themselves the Young Allies.
