TV BIO:
Nuke makes an appearance in the Netflix series Jessica Jones as one of Kilgrave's victims. In this adaption, he is a police officer and his first name is changed to Will. Nuke makes his first appearance in episode 3, when under Kilgrave's control he is forced to try and murder Trish Walker. However, Jessica manages to stop him. In order to clear his guilty conscience over his attempt to attack them, he befriends Trish (and becomes her boyfriend) and uses his resources, connections and skills as an ex-spec-ops soldier to help Jessica catch Kilgrave. Unfortunately, she and Will constantly clash over their methods with dealing with him. While Jessica wants to capture him alive, Will believes he should be killed. Their working relationship ends when Will attempts to blow up the house Kilgrave is living in, while there are innocent people inside. Jessica alerts Kilgrave to the bomb's presence, and he, in turn, forces one of his neighbors to detonate it next to Will and his men. The explosion causes the death of Will's men and badly injures him. In desperation, he re-joins his old military unit in order to receive pills that provide the consumer with superpowers. Despite the warnings of his doctor, he overdoses and while he heals quickly, Will becomes very intense and violent, to the point of murdering several people. Simpson attempts to kill Jessica as well, however, he is knocked out due to the combined efforts of Jessica and Trish.
