Nimrod (comics)
Nimrod is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #191 (March 1985), and was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist John Romita Jr.
Hailing from the "Days of Future Past" timeline, Nimrod is a powerful, virtually indestructible descendant of the robotic mutant-hunting Sentinels. His name is derived from the biblical figure described in Genesis as a "mighty hunter".
The character was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist John Romita Jr., and first appeared in X-Men #191 (March 1985). Nimrod made subsequent appearances in Uncanny X-Men #193-194 (May–June 1985), #197 (September 1985), #208-209 (August–September 1986), #246-247 (July–August 1989), X-Force #35 (June 1994), Cable & Machine Man Annual #1 (Annual 1998), Mutant X #10 (July 1999), Weapon X: Days of Future Now #1 (September 2005), #4 (December 2005), New X-Men vol. 2 #22 (March 2006), #25-31 (June–December 2006), #36 (May 2007), The New Warriors vol. 4 #3 (October 2007), X-Factor vol. 3 #23 (November 2007), X-Force vol. 3 #1-2 (April–May 2008), and Powers of X #1-3 (July–August 2019).
Originally, Claremont intended to use Captain Britain villain Fury, but Alan Moore had ownership of the Marvel UK character and the possibility of litigation caused Claremont to create the similar character of Nimrod instead.
Nimrod received an entry in The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #9.
Nimrod is a mutant-hunting Sentinel from an alternative future and was created by the Sentinels ruling that timeline. Rachel Summers travels backwards in time to the present, but Nimrod follows. Although not capable of time travel by himself, he was transported back in time by Doctor Strange and Magik using their powers to change time to prevent Kulan Gath's occupation of New York. Nimrod saves the life of construction worker Jaime Rodriguez by killing a mugger, Gath's destined host, who would have otherwise killed Rodriguez. In gratitude, Rodriguez offers Nimrod a job and a home with his family, not realizing his true nature.
After gathering information about the timeline in which he finds himself, Nimrod eventually changes his prime directive from the extermination of all mutants, having determined that such widespread destruction is not necessary in this era, to only the extermination of mutants regarded as outlaws by the government, such as the X-Men.
Some time after this, Nimrod garners a reputation with the public of New York City as a heroic vigilante, assuming he is simply a man in powered armor. He also adopts the cover alias Nicholas Hunter, a more human personality as a construction worker.
