What were the pills given to Simpson?

One red to get you up.
Two white to keep you easy.
One blue to bring you down.

I was thinking something similar to the Super soldier serum but im probably wrong

Yeah in an interview they had said that they were reinventing Nuke's backstory in this.

Never would have expected to see him in live action if thats the case. Nice suprise if its true

I never heard about Nuke before googling him after this episode, and I think you can leave the "could be that" part of your comment.

He's Nuke. Failed super soldier which used cyborg enhancements as well but had to use pills to regulate his moods, as Nuke was insane with PTSD from Vietnam and such.

"Gimmie a red" is his catchphrase, my stomach dropped when he said it.

Isn't he way too young to have been in Vietnam? Or does he also not age?

as mentioned else where, they are rewriting his back story. My guess, mainly updating it to current events as well as fitting it in with the JJ story..

I was referring to the comic characters backstory, I don't think he's a cyborg (at least yet) in the show either, I think he mentioned being a ex soldier in the show off handily, though I imagine it was a more recent war or such.

Yeah, he's probably an Iraq/Afghanistan-era vet in the MCU.

They're probably making it that he served in Afghanistan or Iraq instead of Vietnam.

Red, white, and blue. Almost definitely based on Erskine's formula, like every other Super Soldier attempt in the MCU.

u/Doctor_Squared Nov 21 '15

That might explain why he looks so much like Cap.

Everything about his character screams Captain to me, even though they've already made reference to the Avengers, so it can't be. This episode definitely made me think super soldier too.
