Duke Nukem (also known as Duke Nukum) is the titular protagonist of the Duke Nukem series.
Duke is described as a hyper-masculine, egotistical, machismo-filled womanizer whose main goal was to kill the aliens that have invaded earth and kidnapped the planet'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, can still achieve incredible physical feats of violence and conquest through sheer machismo and expertise with automatic weapons.
In M.U.G.E.N, Duke Nukem has been created by TOPS & RobotMonkeyHead. His sprites use Cable as a base.
Duke has quite a powerful arsenal of attacks both melee and weapon based. Most of his specials and hypers are themed around special weapons from his games such as the shrinker. Two unique abilties that Duke has is amour and ammo for his pistol, the amour allowing him to resist attacks damage better but will eventually break after so much damage making Duke take full damage from attacks, also his pistol has limited ammo meaning he will have to reload the pistol after every clip.
As for his AI, it is quite advance and makes great use of all of his moves making him very challanging. One thing that should be taken into account when challenging Duke is that when he consumes Steroids, it will make him faster as well as stronger allowing him to combo faster and deal massive amounts of damage if you let your guard down.

Captain Russia's Addon (Master Nukam)
Captain Russia made an edit of the first version (1.0) of Duke Nukem (might not work with 2.0) without touching any of the original files and only making a copy of the CMD and DEF files, it was meant to be a cheap character that could beat both his Pepito and his Juan cheap type, for example, the steriods would make him unhittable and pop explosions all over the screen. he could also use medi-packs without limit, but the steroids could still be used only once per round.
