In 1974’s Captain America #180, published just two years after the Watergate scandal, readers saw Rogers become disillusioned with the United States. In the text, he, like his cinematic counterpart, left his shield and helmet behind. He thus became Nomad, and while the Nomad comics do illustrate him wearing a horrendously goofy dark blue and yellow outfit, it’s the emotion behind his identify shift that still resonates. Cap’s stint as Nomad lasted only four issues, and those were written by Steve Englehart and illustrated by Sal Buscema. - https://www.inverse.com/article/15444-why-civil-war-should-turn-captain-america-into-post-nixon-comic-character-nomad
