The character Nuke was first introduced during the end of Frank Miller's Daredevil arc "Born Again." Besides a BA-related What If? issue, Nuke didn't make any more appearances for a while.
Then he returned in the beginning of Daniel Way's Wolverine: Origins series, where we discovered his origin.
This is from Wolverine: Origins #2 and #3, by Daniel Way and Steve Dillon.
First, in #2...
Then, in #3, we go back some more, to Nuke's childhood.
