Name: Duke Nukem
Aliases: The King, Duke
Age: 40(ish)
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Alignment: Good
Canon or Original: Canon
Date of Birth: April 9, 1967
Place of Birth: Los Angeles, California
Physical Appearance:
Duke is a 6'4" (1.93 m) tall, 240 lbs. (109 kg) heavy, muscled man with a blond flat-top, 80's style black sunglasses and a bodybuilder physique. Was born on April 9 1967 and was 29 years old in the 1996 Duke Nukem 3D, but this is rather unclear. He wears a red muscle-shirt, blue jeans, black combat boots and black fingerless leather gloves.
He also wears a bandolier which, amongst other things, contains his Portable Medkit, access cards, Steroids, Pipebombs and the ammo for his Chaingun Cannon, as well as all the ammo for all his other weapons. His signature items are the Jetpack and his black sunglasses, along with his golden beautifully engraved Colt 1911 handgun. Also, we must not forget his Mighty Boot or the Nuke logo - like the one on his belt buckle.
Personality:
Duke as a hyper-masculine, egotistical, machismo-filled womanizer. His goal was to kill the aliens that had kidnapped Earth's women. Duke is not afraid to face any kind of alien that comes in his way. He is a confident, aggressive, and frequently politically incorrect muscle-man who, although not technically superhuman, nonetheless manages to achieve incredible physical feats of violence and conquest through sheer machismo and expertise with automatic weapons. Like the character played by Bruce Campbell, Nukem is also a smart-mouth (although Duke's humor is somewhat less sarcastic and more straightforwardly aggressive; a few of Duke Nukem 3D's phrases are taken directly from the Campbell film Army of Darkness), and his sneering visage is often found speaking one-liners while slaughtering his enemies.
He is also apparently extremely sexually adept and irresistible to women, and circumstances generally find him surrounded by many buxom women (though certain signs in the games seem to indicate a girlfriend - current or ex - named Lani, a possible reference to sound engineer and voice actress Lani Minella). There is also an inside joke that circulated on the internet that compares Duke's looks to that of former NFL player Howie Long.
He is cool and he knows it. He is considered to be the ultimate alien asskicker, who loves big, automatic weapons and babes. Women are attracted to him like magnets. He is really a macho. He also enjoys a cigar and occasionally is seen smoking one.
Special Abilities:
While Duke isn't superhuman, as noted he can perform incredible feats of strength and stamina, surviving gunfire that would kill a normal man. He's also skilled in almost all weapons; Alien or not - in addition, he's very skilled at close combat.
Weapons:
His Body
Colt 1911 handgun (Gold engraved)
Ripper
Shotgun
Rocket Launcher
History:
Duke was born April 9, 1967 in Los Angeles, California into a middle class family.

Also, Duke's father was in the U.S Army and experienced WW2 but then became a stockbroker and then eventually a Los Angeles detective at age 44. Duke is the middle child; he has an older sister and a younger brother.
His father died of a heart attack when he was 7 years old in 1974. He joined the army in 1985 instead of attending college and joined the marines in 1986.
