National nightmare? In which country do you reside that claims Duke for his own? A bit presumptuous don't you think?
Duke Nukem enjoys international fame. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find a more recognized video game personality with exceptions to perhaps Mario, Donkey Kong and Pac-man.
Duke Nukem is an absolutely American character, however he is loved by people around the globe, and not for the generally perceived low brow appeal of partial nudity and a liberal use of profanity. Beneath his testosterone drenched, hard boiled exterior lies a hero that is every bit if not more patriotic than Captain America, every ounce as chivalrous and compassionate as Sir Gawain, and as adventurous as Odysseus. Duke Nukem is an amalgam of every hero that ever existed. In his world and his reality though, which is but a slightly twisted reflection of our own, Those characters barely existed. Duke is the only symbol of all that is heroic and masculine in his 3D realm. He alone sits atop that throne, and he alone accepts the glory. Hail to the King baby!
