Nuke (drug)

Nuke is a drug that features in RoboCop.

History

Cain made extensive use of the compound which resulted in him developing a messiah complex and worked to spread it through the city.

Despite the death of Cain, the Nuke trade was still going under various gangs such as the Torch Heads.

Believing she can control Cain via his Nuke addiction, Juliette Faxx selected him for the RoboCop 2 project and disconnected his life support. His brain was then removed and implanted in a new cyborg body. Hob contacted the mayor and offered to cover the city's debt to OCP in exchange for leniency towards Nuke, and OCP sent RoboCop 2 to stop the deal.

The chairman of OCP presents an unveiling ceremony for RoboCop 2 and Delta City, and RoboCop 2 begins to go berserk when he holds up a canister of Nuke. RoboCop arrives and the two cyborgs battle, ending with Lewis using the Nuke canister to distract RoboCop 2 so RoboCop can climb on its back. He rips out Cain's brain and smashes it on the street, deactivating RoboCop 2.

Overview

In appearance, it was a reddish liquid based drug that was placed in small plastic containers that could be injected into the body through the neck. The user feels an intense case of euphoria and pleasure once the drug is within the body's system.

Unlike narcotics processed from agricultural sources or plant extract, Nuke was a designer drug, thus manufacture could be accomplished in nearly any location using widely available chemicals.

There were four known varieties of Nuke:

• Red Ramrod :
• White Noise :
• Blue Velvet :
• Black Thunder :

The original and most widespread variant was Red Ramrod.

Users

• Cain : the fanatical leader of the Nuke Cult and a crime boss and drug lord. Violently insane, hopelessly addicted to Nuke and his godlike delusions, Cain was an unpredictable and dangerous foe, with a capable and loyal following.
• Hob : a very intelligent and powerful member of the Nuke Cult despite only being at the young age of 13 with him being a ruthless and violent hoodlum. He was was an excellent businessman, able to manage and control a sizeable group of people many times his age, and an intelligent thinker.
