Who is Nuke?

Albert Gaines is a member of the Squadron Supreme, the premier superhero team of the alternate Earth-712. Possessing nuclear-based abilities, he operates alongside that world's greatest heroes as they navigate the moral complexities of their reality.

Bursting onto the scene in 1985's Squadron Supreme #1 β€” a landmark Bronze Age Marvel series crafted by Mark Gruenwald and Bob Hall β€” Nuke is a compelling figure from one of comics' most ambitious alternate-reality explorations. Sharing the page with powerhouses like Hyperion and the rest of that extraordinary cast, Nuke occupies a corner of the Marvel universe that has fascinated readers for decades. With appearances stretching across Squadron Supreme, Supreme Power, and Avengers / Squadron Supreme '98, this character's footprint spans a quarter century of storytelling. Compact in total appearances but rich in context, Nuke is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging into Marvel's Bronze Age so rewarding.
