Nuke (Marvel Comics)

==Summary==
Frank Simpson was an American soldier deployed to Vietnam. He was an exemplary soldier, but at some point he was captured and tortured, which broke his mind, and then his body was nearly destroyed. The United States Government, seeing both Frank's potential and that he could be controlled, put him through another experimental Super Soldier project. They replaced a large amount of his body with cybernetics, and replaced the outside of his skin with hard plastics. They also devised a pill based system to control him. Red pills made him aggressive, White pills made him calm down, and blue pills kept him calm. He was then used for a variety of government covert operations, until he was eventually hired out to the Kingpin to kill Daredevil. Since then he has worked for several government organizations, even joining Norman Osborn's Thunderbolts as the psychotic killer, Nuke.

Note:
*Do not try to upgrade Nuke to High 8-C via tanking his own RPGs. This is due to his RPGs likely carrying shots with different yields, as well as him tanking the RPG in a comic 42 years later. Do not also try to upgrade Daredevil to High 8-C via tanking this RPG, as it is a massive outlier for him.
