Nux gets close to the Rig as Max attempts to break free. They attempt to get close to the Rig, but Furiosa shakes most of them off. Nux straps Max to the "lancer perch" (lancers are warboys that throw explosive spears during vehicle combat) of his car and eagerly chases Furiosa alongside the others. When he catches Slit taking his steering wheel, he begs Slit to take him and Max, who is acting as Nux's "blood bag", with him so Nux can die in battle, earning him a place in Valhalla. He watches the War Boys collect their steering wheels from a shrine, but cannot go himself as he is in need of blood due to inherent sickness. Nux first appears at the brink of death when the word spreads that Furiosa has taken Immortan Joe's wives. With time away from Immortan Joe and the War Boys, Nux's personality quickly matures. Nux's mentality is initially of that of a child's he is driven by impulse, desperation and absolute religious devotion. He sprays chrome paint in his mouth to show his worship for mechanical things and to get high before committing suicide by flooding his vehicle with gasoline and ramming it into Furiosa's War Rig. Nux's life is almost over for him but then he sees Furiosas' escape as the perfect opportunity to prove his devotion to Immortan Joe and entering afterlife in Valhalla. On his neck he's got two deadly tumors that he affectionately calls "Larry & Barry". He also uses Max as an adrenaline donor while he's driving. The first time we see him he's getting a blood transfusion from Max - whom he calls his 'blood bag'. Nux - much like the rest of the War Boys - is inherently sick and on the brink of dying because of the environment he's been living in. His name was changed to "Nux" because he was a "hard nut to crack." After coming of age and being lucky enough to live this long he turned into a War Boy and became a driver for Immortan Joe, who he, like the other War Boys, views as a god. His religious devotion is represented by engine block scarification on his chest and his desire to "die historic on the Fury Road", which is the desire of most War Boys due to the fact they have "half lives". įanatically believing in the Cult of the V8, the surrogate fatherhood of Immortan Joe, and all things mechanical he desperately wanted to get as close as possible to becoming a machine himself. When his mother died of illness and his father was sent away to perform dangerous work, however, Nux was left alone and caught the eye of the Citadel. His family was unusual as they stayed together out of love and refused to sell one another out for a better life. Nux was a War Pup that was brought up as a mechanic in The Citadel, a "Black Thumb", after he was taken in by the War Boys.
