In The Comics:

Frank Simpson was originally a character from the Daredevil series, a villain who bore an American flag tattoo on his face, sent by the Kingpin to murder Daredevil, before facing off with Captain America. Kidnapped as a child by Wolverine, he was one of the test subjects of Weapon Plus, the extended super soldier project that created Captain America and Wolverine. Much of his past was influenced by Wolverine, including his transformation into a partial cyborg, and over the course of the comics, he joins the Thunderbolts and continues his work for the US government, known by the handle Nuke.

In The TV Series:

An army vet and police officer, Will Simpson assists Jessica after she saved his life, when Kilgrave used him to get to Trish Walker. Unaccustomed to helplessness, Simpson returns to IGH's enhancement program, which he was part of before becoming an officer, but misuses the drugs provided and goes rogue. He eventually works against Jessica to kill Kilgrave, where he was before her ally in capturing him. He dedicates himself to protecting Trish in season two, before being killed by IGH's mysterious "monster". He's portrayed by Aussie actor Wil Traval in both seasons.
