Biography
He was dispatched to assassinate President Duarte of the Republic of Santo Marco but was captured in the attempt. Upon examining him, the President decided to make copies of Simpson that consisted of soldiers who became the Nuke Platoon. All members wore the American flag on their faces and were outfitted with the special pills Nuke had used to amplify their abilities. Afterwards, they were dispatched on a spree to eliminate any Mutants in the country. Simpson himself was kept locked up and contained until Sabretooth freed him. Upon seeing the Nuke Platoon, Frank snapped and started to massacre their ranks whilst they were attacking Old Man Logan and his allies. However, Frank did not stop and attacked Logan along with his comrades as he came to believe that everyone was trying to steal his pills. Simpson then rallied the remaining members of the Nuke Platoon to follow him where they attacked the building to secure the pills for him. (Weapon X v3 #13) Ezekiel Stane used his knowledge as a bio-engineer to create an army of Nuke warriors from ordinary American soldiers to create havoc for the country on behalf of Power Enterprises. (Captain America v9 #3)
