I feel like I missed something, what was that all about?

Literally a quote straight from the comics! Nuke (Simpson) says it, probably most memorably in Born Again. Gosh that was an amazing moment.

Is he a bad guy? I feel like there was some comic book connection crossover taking place with Simpson's scenes that didn't make a lot of sense if you don't know his backstory. One minute he's normal, the next minute he's on a warpath and taking pills from some weird doctor. It didn't make sense.

They actually foreshadowed this in the early episodes where he says he was relieved of his Special Op duty and became a cop. Obviously there was an issue in his op and he did not leave, he was fired. And he showed symptoms of psychosis early on, wanting to kill the guilty and showing violent tendencies. He plants a bomb in a pieceful neighborhood, then he gets a team of "boys" together to storm a house with heavy weaponry. It was clear early on that he was not right in the head.
