Fictional character biography
Frank Simpson is the subject of the Weapon Plus program test, a supersoldier program that has created Captain America and will later have the Weapon X facility they turn Wolverine into a killer machine. The process of improving and conditioning goes awry, making Nuke really crazy.
Early life
The Nuke origins are described in the series of Wolverine: Origins .
The son of a rich, abusive, alcoholic lady in Ohio, Frank quickly developed an unhealthy affection for her sister's nanny, the only maternal figure in her life. The young woman, who had a feeling for her father, Charles, took advantage of Frank's affection and invited the boy to kill his mother. Wolverine, who at the time was an operator for Weapon Plus, had been sent to kidnap Frank Simpson. Wolverine appeared, dressed as a cop. He then stalked Charles Simpson and the babysitter, eventually shooting the girl with a Charles gun, after Charles committed suicide. Wolverine then goes to Frank's place and kidnaps him for a supersoldier project.
Years later, Frank Simpson was sent to the Vietnam War as a black-ops agent. Arrested by Viet Cong, Frank was severely tortured by Logan (disguised as a bridge of Russian intelligence), destroying Frank's still-unbalanced mind. While torturing her (even carving her face an American flag that would later become part of her superpowered personality), she instilled the phrase "No V.C.!" as a trigger word, together with coercion to kill horribly, in retaliation for the torture suffered, whoever utters the words. He then let Frank escape, testing his work with a farming village, who, seeing an American soldier, tried to calm his anger and convince him to save them, shouting "No V.C.!" phrase, meaning that they are not Viet Cong. Frank, in response to the trigger, burned the village to the ground, killing every resident. The experiment became successful, Logan installed as his handler. Due to the trauma, Nuke often hallucinates that the enemy he opposes is Viet Cong.
At one point during the war Nuke was sworn to the end of the Homegrown Project, the Weapon VII program, which transformed it into a partial cyborg with a subdermal mesh capable of deflecting bullets, and the two hearts, in collaboration with several pills ( placebo), controlling its aggressiveness, leaving addiction as well. Its existence after the war is still unknown.
First appearance
Nuke reappears, employed by Generalissimo Felix Guillermo Carridad, of Tierra Verde, to destroy the rebel base. Carridad is impressed with his skills, and he is very happy to use Nuke regularly as an iconic symbol of extraordinary. After operations in Nicaragua, Kingpin hired Nuke through a corrupt general and sent him to kill Daredevil. Nuke launched an attack on Hell's Kitchen, but was defeated by Daredevil. Angry at the Daily Bugle article that reported his massacre at Hell's Kitchen, he escaped from his handler, intending to destroy Bugle building. He was intercepted by Captain America and shot by a military helicopter. He collapsed from the wound and was considered dead by the general public. Nuke was detained by the government, still controlled by the Tierra Verde enclave.
Wolverine: Origins - Death from Wolverine
In the series Wolverine: Origins, after Wolverine regained his full memory, and embarked on a mission to solve the problem, the US government sent Nuke to hunt down Wolverine. Although Wolverine sends Nuke, he reveals that Nuke's improved physiology has been increasingly mutated, giving him limbs, bones and skulls, and survival ability of the most horrible wounds, but has left him without personality or conscience. When Wolverine tried to kill him, Captain America intervened, believing that Nuke was a failed subject of the Super Soldier Program. Wolverine asks Emma Frost's telepath to restore Nuke's broken mind, saying that he will put Nuke to sleep if he decides that it is impossible.
During the time of Norman Osborn as head of the American peacekeeping organization HAMMER, he added a man named Scourge to his black ops team, Thunderbolt, but the man later revealed himself as Nuke, and was demoted from the team leader position.. During the storyline event "Siege", Nuke suffered an injury that made him comatose. At Captain America Vol 7 # 12, Simpson allied with Iron Nail, attacking an individual in Europe whom he considers an enemy of America, until he is stopped by Captain America. He was caught in the explosion and allegedly killed.
Nuke later appeared alive with a shaved head in the mini series Death of Wolverine. He is seen working for Madame Hydra and hunting Wolverine as part of his bounty. While in a bar in British Columbia, Wolverine uses his adamantium skull to headbutt Nuke to spread the word that he saved him while also getting information about who put the gift to him.
Strength and ability
Nuke has various super physical human attributes as a result of various cybernetic enhancements. The bones of Nuke have been replaced with sophisticated cybernetic components, which gave him superhuman powers from an undisclosed boundary. In addition to its strength, Nuke's body is much more resistant to physical injuries than ordinary humans; even the mysterious nervous attacks Daredevil learned during training by his sensei, Stick, had no effect. Nuke's skin has been replaced with a kind of artificial plastic that looks identical to human skin but is much more durable. In addition, he has an artificial secondary heart that works with his colored pill. Nuke is a victim of decades of systematic physical and psychological conditioning at the hands of various individuals working for the United States government. As a result, Nuke is crazy. He is now little more than a doll in the hands of his current handler, and can only follow the issued orders. Also in his first appearance at Daredevil, Nuke is equipped with a multi-barreled assault rifle which, in addition to firing large bullets, grenade fragmentation, and rockets, as well (due to unexplained mechanisms) can "keep counting "the victim inflicted. Nuke also has a habit of resetting the counters after recording every "score" trying to "better" in an upcoming task.
Apparently Nuke's metabolism is now controlled from a secret base in Tierra Verde, whose technically capable of shutting down the biomech system in Nuke's body.
Pill
Nuke has a second heart, and takes different colored pills to produce different body effects. The color of the Nuke pill is: red, to enhance adrenaline; white, to keep him balanced between missions; and blue, to drop it.
It was initially stated that the red pill Nuke had taken affected his adrenal glands, sending him into his bloodthirsty anger. The Wolverine: Origins of this retconned series, states that this pill is a placebo, indicating that Nuke lives in a constant state of adrenaline elevation, but is unaware of this. The pill, therefore, triggers its violent behavior, but the effect is psychosomatic.
Other versions
In the "House of M" storyline, Nuke is one of the government agents (with Mimic and Agent Barnes) sent to Genosha to kill Magneto and as many of his followers as possible. He and Mimic act as distractions while Agent Barnes sneaks into Magneto's headquarters. When Nuke enters Wanda's bedroom to kill her, she is dismantled by him.
What If vol. 2 # 48 shows what would happen if Daredevil rescued Nuke. This story manifests as Ben Urich thinks about the situation and thinks of alternatives.
In the Ultimate Marvel world, Frank Simpson appeared in Ultimate Comics: Captain America # 1 as the person who was given Super Soldier Serum during the Vietnam War when Steve Rogers was MIA after World War II, but the origin was more reminiscent of the Grand Director , a Captain America post World War II. Like his mainstream counterpart, Simpson has an American Flag tattoo on his face. Simpson, really disappointed by America after Vietnam (1972) is believed to have betrayed his country due to war and augmentations, but has "seen the Light". He tried to sell his homemade serum blood to North Korea, but was stopped by S.A.S. and Steve Rogers. After his identity was revealed to Colonel Danvers, the Captain was beaten, and traveled to Saloth, a village in Cambodia, but Simpson and his troops (all pumped with Super Army Serum) hit him. Simpson promised to make Cap, "see the light", strongly believing America stood for a number of atrocities in the past 50 years. Cap escapes and stops Simpson. He was taken to S.H.I.E.L.D. prisoners. Simpson was later visited by the Captain at Triskelion, who told Rogers to read the Bible on Simpson's bed surrounded by the bed.
In the world of Amalgam Comics, where Marvel Comics characters are combined with DC Comics comics, Nuke is combined with DC's Bane as Hydra Bane Simpson agent.

Simpson is a police sergeant in the Police Station 15 and previously served in the 39th Infantry Division. He was introduced when he was sent by Kilgrave to kill Trish Walker. Considered by Jessica that her mission has been achieved, Kilgrave orders her to jump off the roof. Jessica rescues her, freeing her from Kilgrave's control, after which Simpson becomes Trish's lover. She remains at loggerheads with Jessica, as she is determined to kill Kilgrave to prevent her from harming others. After his attempt to kill Kilgrave with a failed bomb, Simpson reconnected with his military unit, using experimental pills to raise awareness of combat. They also made him more manic, to the point that he killed fellow detective Oscar Clemons and his two associates. He then tries to kill Jessica, but is thwarted by Jessica and Trish, when the latter picks up some escalating combat and defeats him. Unconsciously, Simpson was then taken away by his doctor Miklos Kozlov and member of the mysterious organization "IGH" who gave him a supplement.
At the start of season 2, Simpson now uses an inhaler and spy on Trish. He eventually pursues Trish on the set of the movie, where Trish shoots him in the foot. When Jessica captured and confronted Simpson about a recent series of IGH member deaths, Simpson stated that Trish was a target because of her investigation into IGH, before they were suddenly attacked by an attacker, who later revealed to be Jessica Alisa's mother. Alisa kills Simpson by breaking her neck before running away. After that, Jessica and Trish took her body to the beach near Playland Park and Jessica threw her body into the ocean. As the season progresses, Trish develops an addiction to the battle enhancer at Simpson's inhaler.
