DUKE NUKEM

Duke Nukem is here to kick ass and take names- but where does the man, the legend come from? Just how did he get into the business of mowing down aliens by the thousands? That was detailed in 1991’s Duke Nukem, the first game in the series. When earth is attacked by the robot army of Dr. Proton, the daytime television Duke Nukem was watching gets interrupted- and that really pisses him off. Enough to send him into a murderous rage. The CIA, for some reason, decides to make use of this murderous rage, and hires Duke to fight for them againsrt Dr. Proton. Moral of the story- don’t bug Duke Nukem when he’s watching TV.
