Lowly electrical engineer Robert Hunter was embittered over his status in life, always seething with resentment towards his younger bosses. Recruited by the Kree's Lunatic Legion, Hunter eagerly volunteered to be genetically altered until he gained the ability to explode his body and reassemble his molecules at will. He was sent to obtain a chemical compound the Legion needed for their work, until he was thwarted by Captain Mar-Vell. Nitro, as Hunter took to calling himself, developed a murderous vendetta against Mar-Vell, eventually succeeding in killing the hero by giving him cancer. He continued to work as a professional assassin, clashing with heroes ranging from Wolverine to Iron Man to Daredevil, before he triggered the superhuman ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}'' when killed more than 600 innocent people in Stamford, Connecticut.

* AbusiveParents: He has a daughter whom he doesn't love and tries to force her to help with his crimes on one occasion. Fortunately she's nothing like him.
* AnArmAndALeg: Lost a hand to Wolverine. Couldn't happen to a nicer person.
* AscendedExtra: For a guy who's never been more than a C-Lister, he's been involved in some pretty memorable storylines, such as ''The Death of Captain Marvel'' and the aforementioned ''Civil War''.
* ClingyCostume: The purple costume he wears is in fact part of his body, although he can wear normal clothes over it if he wants.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Nitro's power level tends to fluctuate depending on who's writing him. Creator/BrianMichaelBendis wrote him as not even able to kill Daredevil and needing several minutes to recharge between explosions, while under Creator/MarkMillar's pen he was able to destroy an entire suburban neighborhood. It was eventually {{justified|Trope}} when it was revealed that Nitro was hopped up on Mutant Growth Hormone in Stamford.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: He can literally detonate himself to cause this trope.
* EvilOldFolks: He's pretty old, and despite being a relatively minor villain, he has engaged in some huge atrocities.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Most heroes tend to beat Nitro by turning his own powers against him. Comicbook/IronMan defeated him when he forced Nitro to constantly explode over and over until he was too exhausted to continue, Franchise/SpiderMan tricked him into mixing tear gas with his molecules after he exploded, leaving him too sick to fight back when he reformed, and ''ComicBook/OmegaTheUnknown'' stuffed him down a long tube and blew him out into space.
* HeroKiller: Is responsible for the death of the original Captain Marvel, and for several of the New Warriors at the beginning of ''Civil War''. Though in the case of the later, most of them came back in one way or another (except Microbe).
* PsychoForHire: After taking out Captain Marvel, he became a hired hitman, accepting contracts to kill everyone from [[Comicbook/IronMan Tony Stark]] to [[Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} Matt Murdock]]. He is very sadistic and is prone to killing innocent bystanders who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He tried to rape Dakota North at one point, [[EvenEvilHasStandards which horrified even another villain he was with]].
* TheSociopath: He is a murderous PsychoForHire who is prone to killing innocent bystanders, has no love for his daughter, tried to rape Dakota North, and felt zero remorse when his explosion killed 612 people, 60 of whom were children.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: His hair is white and is a dangerous sociopath that will blow up anything and anyone.
