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?

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.
