Steve Rogers’ Forgotten Son Finally Returns As Captain America’s Sidekick

The Captain America comics tease the return of Steve Rogers’ forgotten son, as he will team up with Sam Wilson in an upcoming story.

Marvel Comics teases a new version of Nomadic team up with Captain America, because the hero who takes up the torch seems to be the secret son of Steve Rogers. In the all-new cover of Captain America: Symbol of Truth #7, Ian Rogers appears to be making his long-awaited return as the new Nomad, joining Sam Wilson as his new sidekick.

Marvel has been teasing Nomad’s return since last month, as the moniker Steve Rogers initially wore after dropping the Shield makes a big comeback in the upcoming Captain America: Symbol of Truth ongoing series. While a handful of heroes have since gone by the Nomad name, one of the more interesting characters to take over was Ian Rogers, Captain America’s secret son. Steve first met Ian (who is Armin Zola’s biological son) in Dimension Z, where he was stuck for over a decade. When Steve escaped, Ian became Nomad – but has been missing for some time in the comics. Now, it looks like Rogers is returning as Captain America’s new sidekick.

In a brand new preview of Captain America: Symbol of Truth #7 by Marvel Comics’ Tochi Onyebuchi, Ig Guara and RB Silva, Sam Wilson’s Captain America will be seriously injured by a dangerous White Wolf attack. Captain America will be set up with a new partner in seeking international justice, as he’ll be joined by a “long dead” version of Nomad. In RB Silva’s new cover art for the issue, the nomad joining Sam has the exact same costume (and look) as Ian Rogers, Steve Rogers’ secret son.

Check out the full synopsis of Captain America: Symbol of Truth #7 by Marvel Comics:

In CAPTAIN AMERICA: SYMBOL OF TRUTH #7, featuring guest artist Ig Guara, the White Wolf’s latest attack left Falcon in critical condition and sparked a civil war in Mohannda. When Sam Wilson’s role as Captain America prevents him from pursuing his own justice internationally, his government contact places him with a surprising new partner – an old ally long thought dead. As teased yesterday, Nomad is back! But who will wear the mantle this time and will their help be a blessing or a curse?

Ian Rogers’ status in the Marvel Universe is currently unknown, as if he died against Baron Zemo during the The All-New Captain America series, he returned for the shattering universe Secret Wars an event. But after the multiverse was reassembled, the hero hasn’t been seen since – as it’s possible he still died at the hands of the villainous Hydra. With the reveal of the suit, the Nomad tease long dead and his connection to Sam Wilson, it sure looks like Rogers will return as Cap’s new sidekick.

Readers can see Steve Rogers’ secret son, Ian Rogers, likely return to action as Nomadic and Captain America new sidekick when Captain America: Symbol of Truth #7 by Tochi Onyebuchi, IG Guara, and RB Silva hits comic book stores and online retailers November 23, 2022.
