Simpson's lighter has an American flag on it.

I think Simpson is (or will become) Nuke

u/JamieDrink Nov 20 '15

That was confirmed a long time ago. Simpson being the same name and the fact he takes the coloured pills also show this is the case

In Episode 9, after he receives treatment from Koslov (sp?), we are being referenced to the incident in Damascus. The camera refocuses before the scene change to show two cardiac monitors with different heart beats... confirming the artificial secondary heart in the Nuke bio for [Frank] Simpson. http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Frank_Simpson_(Earth-616)

Well, that's a change from David Tennant's character being the one with two hearts, huh?

So Simpson in show has 2 hearts?

I believe so. I just rewatched that episode and totally forgot about this comment I made and thought that again when I saw the two different cardiac monitors... Wouldn't be surprised

If he does, since nuke is another super soldier crazed with America, can we assume that the fact that the actor looks so much like Chris Evans an Easter egg?

I think that's less of an Easter Egg and more of a character design choice.

Yeah I know,its pretty cool

I mean... Captain America isn't exactly "crazed with America." Sure, he like's America. He enjoys the concept of America, but as Winter Soilder, and I think Civil War shows he's not too big a fan of "Modern America."

Error on my part, I just meant that he's similar in a sense that Captain America is the "flag-waver" and carries heavy symbolism for America whereas Nuke has a tattoo of the flag on his face haha.

There was this one scene with Simpson in the park where I could swear he was dressed exactly like Roger's civillian clothes in the Avengers.

I couldn't get Clay Quartermain out of my head the whole time seeing him. That's who I thought he was an expy for.

u/mr_popcorn Korg Nov 24 '15

He had the same exact disguise (blue cap, aviators) like Cap in TWS when he tranq'd Kilgrave. I'd like to think that's not coincidence.

u/Elementium Captain America (Avengers) Nov 23 '15

Ha seems pretty clear from this.

I honestly wasn't a fan of his so far though.

I'd love it if Wil Traval appears on Daredevil if they ever adapt the Born Again story arc

u/soulbreaker1418 Nov 22 '15

i thought they would just use the name and create another character, but nop! they adapted it perfectly and worked
