He is apparently sexually adept and irresistible to women, and circumstances generally find him surrounded by many buxom women. His missions generally involved killing aliens that had invaded Earth. It should be noted that in Duke Nukem II he starts to move more into the direction of a traditional action hero. However Duke's personality in all his games since the third game in the series, Duke Nukem 3D, has been that of a wise-cracking, hyper-masculine, egotistical, chauvinist, machismo-filled, womanizing tough guy. In the original two games Duke Nukem barely spoke and was portrayed as a self-proclaimed hero initially hired by the CIA Dr. The next video game in the series, Duke Nukem Forever, has been in development hell since at least 1997.

In the dozen or so Duke Nukem games since Duke Nukem 3D, this incarnation of the character has been constant, and voiced by voice actor Jon St. The character was redesigned into the present tough guy incarnation by George Broussard and Allen Blum, for the 1996 game Duke Nukem 3D. The character was created by video game developers Todd Replogle, George Broussard, Jim Norwood and Scott Miller of Apogee Software. The character first appeared in the 1991 video game Duke Nukem I (also temporarily known as "Duke Nukum") which was developed by Apogee Software, now 3D Realms. Numerous figurines of the character have been produced. His jetpack, sunglasses, mighty boot and one-linersĭuke Nukem is a fictional character and action hero who has been the protagonist in over a dozen video games, the fictional universe in which they take place and a proposed upcoming live action science fiction and horror or action feature film.
