This page covers the Marvel comicbook hero Nomad also known as Bucky , Scourge . If this is not the page you were looking for check here.
Nomad has been partners with two Captain Americas after injected with a new Super Soldier Serum in the 50s. He was recently assassinated by the Winter Soldier.
Origin
In the 1950s, a "replacement" Captain America was called into action. Jack Monroe became his "Bucky." The two fought for freedom against Communists and enemies to the US.
Unforntunately, since the duo had been given a new Super Soldier Serum, there were some side affects. The serum had affected their sanity and they became violent and unstable. They were soon apprehended and placed in suspended animation in the hopes of one day finding a cure.
Decades later, the government agency SHIELD was able to cure Jack's sanity. Working with the original Captain America, Jack took on the identity of Nomad (a guise Captain America, himself, once used). The two became partners for a while.
Nomad began to fight crime on his own. He felt he needed to remove himself from the shadow of Cap. He began to literally be a nomad, traveling the country, fighting against evil.
He was later placed under mind control by government agent, Henry Gyrich. Gyrich, who was known to have no love for superhumans, forced Nomad to become the new Scourge of the Underworld. It was his duty to eliminate evil with the saying, "Justice is served."
As the Scourge, Monroe was confronted and subdued by the Thunderbolts. Upon discovering his identity, there also found out that he was under mind control.
Monroe decided to go back to his crime fighting ways. He started to become weaker after each incident and started having hallucinations. It seemed that the Super Soldier Serum in his system was finally braking down. His body could no longer sustain the action.
Losing his sense of reality, Nomad began to fight innocent people he believed were enemies.
Nomad was shot and killed by the Winter Soldier (who is allegedly the original Bucky Barnes). The Winter Soldier's mission at the time was to track down and eliminate anyone that had been injected with the serum.
