The aliens in Duke Nukem 2 are referred to as "Rigelatins." Meanwhile with Duke Nukem 3D it's inferred that aliens invaded Earth while Duke was away, and they have been working with Dr. Proton. DNF was supposed to tie this all up.

Where is it implied that Doctor Proton was involved in 3D?

The manual says they're "genetically modified aliens" and the same aliens appeared in DNF. And Doctor Proton was the pen-ultimate boss in DNF. Doctor Proton was the behind the scenes orchestrator of the events of D3D.

Still, that's a bit of a stretch IMO. There's nothing to imply that anyone genetically modified the aliens but themselves. Just because Proton was involved in DNF doesn't mean anything either, since anything decided after Duke 3D could simply be changing the story retroactively. Is there even anything in DNF that directly implies that Proton's the one that summoned the aliens? He was trying to fight them off in DNF. You could argue that he summoned them in order to fight them off and be a hero, but it's going to need some supporting evidence.

Who did Duke Originally work for?
The CIA
Depends on what you mean by "originally". Going by game order, this is true, but in-universe chronologically he started out in the army.

what were the second enemies of Duke called
The Entire Regulations Alien Race
Again, that's "Rigelatins".

What are the third type of enemies Duke faced.
Badass and His Army Alien B-stards
I'm going to assume "badass" is from the writing in the Stadium level. The positioning would support it, but unfortunately the third boss is named the Cycloid Emperor. The aliens in DN3D as a whole are unnamed, save for Duke calling them "those alien bastards"... which is fair given that they keep shooting up his ride.

What Was Dukes Secret Weapon used in the 2nd Duke Nukem game
his explodo molar tooth
In the introduction cutscene only. You, the player, only get to use various big guns.



In the interest of fairness, I used to think Duke was functionally immortal due to something that happened between him and Dr. Proton. I was young and not very good at English, so I misinterpreted the line "I've already been immortalized by defeating Dr. Proton last year" as such. Between that, using an explosive device in a small space, and the lack of a lives counter...

The aliens are called Cycloids, there's some dialogue in DNF by I think Graves which pretty much states this outright. 'Badass' being written on the grass is just a joke, it's not actually the boss' name.

I was always confused about that as well back in the day. Thought he might have been sealed in some kind of nuclear reaction chamber Posted Image

I'd be surprised if many children would have picked up that he meant it in terms of "immortalized in the history books".

If you're wondering were I found out what rank duke is in the military. I believe it was mentioned slightly in Duke Nukem Zero Hour when some of the other soldiers once talked to they call Duke a Major in which ironically is usually the last and highest military rank in the US military to do most of the fighting and field work. Given take duke does not like to sit on his butt and give orders instead he loves to kick ass and have action. It is real small piece of information because in order to find this out you have to talk to the soldiers in Zero hour on the N64 first or second level. I forgot it it was either one of the soldiers or the female general that said this because it's been a while since I fired up my N64

I don't think Zero Hour is canon. JBlade?

DNF showed he was in the military (there's a photo of him in Desert Storm uniform IIRC) but I think it's one of those things that's been added to his character. As far as I'm aware Duke was literally supposed to be an average Joe hired by the CIA in the first two games, it was only really with Duke3D where the EDF appeared and kinda gave him a military background (loosely through The Birth's intro)

Whilst I love talking about this kind of stuff, I think it's safe to say there's no real Duke canon as far as 3DR and all the other game makers were concerned; the main games in the series having happened is probably the best you're gonna get.

You have to remember the story line got fucked up when Triptych split the game up. Prior to 2009 Proton and the Aliens were working together.

This is exactly what I always loved about Duke Nukem. He just doesn't have a backstory, no past , no prequels ,no bullshit. He's just there to kick ass :mellow:

There was this one fanfic I read once upon a time set before DN1, where Duke goes by a different surname. Yet, he still wears a red shirt like in DN2 and after. He takes the Nukem name after setting off a nuclear explosion in the finale of the story. Then, in the epilogue, his girlfriend messes up the laundry and all his red shirts turn pink.

Which brings me to another detail: many people think Duke wears a pink shirt in DN1, but it's actually a white shirt under a pink vest.

Yeah I was thinking about that document after I made the post, but couldn't be bothered finding it. Still, on the balance of probability Proton and the Cycloids were never working together in Duke 3D, and anything implying otherwise (is there anything though?) is more likely than not to be retrofitting.

Here's something that bothers me now: "Cycloid". The episode three boss, the Cycloid Emperor, has one eye. The victory cutscene makes a point of that, pun not intended.

Assault Troopers, Captains, and Commanders have two eyes, the Enforcers have two eyes... The Pigcops, Fireflies, the Battlelord, Overlord, all two eyes. The Alien Queen, Protector Drone, and Octabrain have three, the Protozoid Slimer none. My point? The Cycloid Emperor and its variants are cyclopes. It makes no sense to assign that name to all these alien bastards. Goddammit, general!

I'd say it's more conjecture.

As for the Cycloids, I think it's more of an empire structure (hence Cycloid Emperor) wherein the other alien races are subordinate to the Cycloids.

But Dr. Proton was cut shortly after the switch to Unreal Engine in 1999. I think the Octaking was the mastermind behind DNF's event up to 2009 (the leaked plot diagram shows that the Octaking was the final boss too).

I agree, that's part of why I've thought Duke Begins or a prequel in general aren't good ideas. Just let him show up and kick ass, with some hints and further fun little insights into his character scattered around.

Reminds me of a post where somebody mentioned how Friday the 13th fans really don't need an explanation for why Jason keeps coming back. A specific origin and further explanation of some of these kind of characters could dilute some of the appeal.

Ditto for James Bond, just give us the next adventure.
