HistoryEdit

I am Nimrod! Your physical nature automatically brands you as felons. The unsanctioned use of those mutant abilities is a capital crime... punishable by death!

-- Nimrod ^src 

Origin

In the alternate future, Days of Future Past, Sentinels controlled North America and the original Nimrod was built as an extremely advanced prototype. During a mission to sabotage Project Nimrod, Rachel Summers and Kate Pryde were discovered by the newly activated Nimrod Sentinel. Rachel Summers was transported to the past, but the activated Nimrod killed Kate Pryde.

Munroe Family

Nimrod attempted to follow Rachel into the past, but undershot his destination by about twenty years. Realizing his mistake Nimrod searched for the Maker, an alternate version of Forge. Nimrod found him in Eagle Plaza with his wife Storm their daughter Orora and son Naze. Nimrod quickly killed Storm then held Orora hostage and forced this alternate Forge to create a time machine. However, the time machine Forge created damaged Nimrod so that he arrived at his destination offline.^[1]

Purifiers and the New X-Men

Nimrod was damaged during the transport, and he appeared inactive to William Stryker in an abandoned church two years before M-Day.^[2] 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.^[3]

New York City

Nimrod arrived in New York City and saved and befriended Jaime Rodriguez and assumed the identity of Nicholas Hunter, whom the public perceived was an armored vigilante hero. 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.

Becoming Bastion

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.

Ghost in The Machine

Before turning into Bastion, Nimrod created and downloaded a self-aware program copy of himself into a military base that acted as a sleeper virus that awaited the opportunity to access a Sentinel development program it could use to re-create itself to insure his survival and to fulfill its imperative to save humans by exterminating mutants.

When Cable and his X-Force entered the base Nimrod activated himself then spontaneously create a body, replete with advanced weaponry and defenses to destroy the mutants intruder. Nimrod, despite not being advanced as before proved to be strong enough to hold his ground against the X-Force and even Cable.

However, the sonic scream of Siryn temporarily disabled him and while the robot worked to compensate and adapting itself to the attack Cable linked himself into Nimrod using the techno-organic and the mind of two doctors using telepathy. Inside Nimrod mind the trio learn the truth and also learn that Nimrod believe that if he was created before his time he can save the millions that will die in the 25 years war that will happen in the future.

However, after being asked to determined how many humans will die if he was created before it's time the result was incalculable and so Nimrod deactivated it self. The robot’s central neural net was removed and given to X-Force while the human kept the body to study its defensive systems and alloys.

Nimrod-Series Sentinel

Second Coming

As part of Bastion and the Human Council's plan to kill the Messiah Child and destroy mutantkind, a large dome was built over the Bay Area to cut off the X-Men from escape or help. Once the dome was activated, Bastion opened a dimensional portal from his home reality to allow in more Nimrod-Series Sentinels.^[4] Like the original Nimrod, these Sentinels are able to detect, analyze and adapted to mutant powers. They are also self-repairing. The X-Men were barely able to subdue them, and several X-Men sustained severe injuries.^[5] Every five minutes a wave of five new Nimrod Sentinels continued to appear through the portal.^[6] Only by sending X-Force, Cable and Cypher into the future to reprogram and destroy the Nimrod Master Molds were the X-Men successful to defeating them.^{[5] [7] [8]}

Bastion was reverting into Nimrod-like appearance and when all the other Nimrods were destroyed Bastion appearance was completely returned to Nimrod form before he battled and was destroyed by Hope Summers.

A fragment of one of the Nimrods found it way to an automated car factory which it used to repair and build a primitive versions of Nimrod. However, this was discovered by the X-Men and a team was sent to and have destroy it.

Powers and AbilitiesEdit

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.

He can teleport, which can be used even when he has suffered severe damage.

NotesEdit

• Nimrod merged with Master Mold when inside the Siege Perilous to become Bastion.
• Nimrod-Series Sentinels exist in Bishop's reality.
• The possibility exists that the Nimrod that becomes Bastion and the Nimrod that battled the New X-Men were two different Nimrods. However, the similarities between the two are uncanny, leading most to believe that they are the same entity. Whether or not this is true, remains to be confirmed.
  

TriviaEdit

• Nimrod is named after the Biblical figure Nimrod, great-grandson of Noah, defined by the King James Version Bible in Genesis 10:8-9 as as a "a man of power in the earth and mighty hunter before the Lord."
