History
Nimrod was built as the most advanced Sentinel in his reality, Earth-811, known as "Days of Future Past", where Sentinels control North America. Rachel Summers and Kate Pryde of that timeline were on a mission to sabotage the Project Nimrod. They were discovered during the mission, and Rachel Summers was transported to the past of Earth-616 timeline. The activated Nimrod killed Kate Pryde. It's unrevealed as to what happened to this Nimrod.
At some point, in another timeline Nimrod searched for find the Maker (Forge of this timeline). Nimrod forced this Forge to create a time machine that would send it back in time by threatening to kill Forge's family (this timeline's Storm and their child). However Forge created something else, that sent Nimrod to the past of another timeline.
Something happened during the transport, and Nimrod appeared inactive and damaged to William Stryker a few months before the events of Decimation. Stryker then reformed his Purifiers and used Nimrod's knowledge and weaponry. Eventually Nimrod activated, and again searched for Forge in Texas in order to repair it's time machine, this time threatening to kill Storm. Forge tricked Nimrod by building it another body, which trapped Nimrod's programming under another program. However due to injuries sustained in an accidental battle against the New X-Men, Nimrod reclaimed control. It then continued to battle the New X-Men until Nimrod's time machine was activated and it disappeared into the past.
Nimrod arrived in New York City and befriended Jaime Rodriguez and assumed the identity of what the public perceived was an armored vigilante. Nimrod fought against Juggernaut, the X-Men and the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club. On both occasions he was forced to withdraw, although he killed and incapacitated several of his opponents in his second battle.
Eventually Nimrod came in contact with the remains of the Master Mold, which forced the two entities to merge. The entity battled the X-Men, but was sent to Siege Perilous, from where it eventually returned as Bastion.
It remains unclear what is the connection with the two Nimrod's who have appeared, but the similarities between the two are uncanny, leading to believe that they are the same entity. Whether or not this is true, remains to be seen.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Nimrod is a highly advanced robot, and as such all his powers are functions of his inbuilt systems. The full range of his powers are unknown, as he is able to reconfigure systems to defeat known opponents. The materials Nimrod is constructed of are highly resistant to damage even by superhuman beings. He can alter his size and appearance to that of a human, which is used as a cover identity.
Damage to Nimrod's armor and systems can be automatically repaired to an unknown extent. He has direct control over all parts of his structure, perhaps to the molecular level. An extension of this power is the rearrangement of internal parts to better use his functions and weapons.
Mutant and superhuman sensors and detectors contained within Nimrod's arms and head allow him to locate and analyze beings' extraordinary powers, and determine modifications that need to be made to his own abilities. He is capable of countering most powers that are used against him on separate occasions, continually learning how to defeat opponents that escape him.
The weapons and defenses Nimrod contains have a wide range of applications. He can project concussive, plasma and disintegrating blasts, manipulate magnetic energy to levitate iron and steel, and generate force-fields about himself.
