The 60 Most Iconic Duke Nukem Quotes

Bill Nye mentioned his famous quote “Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.” This adage gives an introduction to the star of the article by enforcing that we can learn from anyone, both fictional or non-fictional characters both in real lives or on-screen; movies, TV shows and even video games. Yes, video game! AnQuotes hereby present to you, the man of discussion for today, Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem is a fictional creation of Todd Replogle, Jim Norwood, George Broussard and Scott Miller of Apogee Software followed by further redesigning in the later years. He is a protagonist of a video game series named after himself. Duke Nukem debuted in 1991 and has since been featured as the main hero of the video game series sequels. This memorable protagonist has undergone various phases of character developments until he becomes an epitome of masculinity as we know today.

Duke Nukem initially started as a silent character in the first two installments of the game series. His physical appearance was an embodiment of a muscular man, somewhat that of a breed between Rambo and Arnold Schwarzenegger. As he continued to evolve over the series, his character receives an enormous boost of confidence quite parallel to his physical persona. He exudes physical abilities which were almost superhuman, including being adept at futuristic firearms and projecting a defense firewall against attacks. With Duke’s boost of ego and steroid-pumped exterior, he also developed an irresistible charm which attracts many women in his universe.

Duke Nukem is not just a man, however. He is a man on a mission to halt the plans of Dr.Proton, a deranged radiation-lobotomised scientist after the failed attempts by the military. Throughout the various levels of the game, we can see Duke Nukem utilising various power-ups and weapon upgrades to battle alien troops of Dr.Proton. These abilities cause him to unlock abilities such as developing claws to grapple on ceilings and overcome gravity by jumping at increasing altitudes. Once the game levels are completed and the alien minions of Dr.Proton are defeated, we can finally say that Duke Nukem, our hero has saved the day.
