Consider this: what if the entirety of DNF was an inside job by the president?

Duke was a pretty badass dude for over 10 years, to the point where almost everyone considers him something of a god. Especially considering he save the goddamn world single handed in DN3D. Something like that would make anyone of a high power jealous. Someone like the president.

The president, wanting to be considered a hero in the eyes of the public, contacts Dr. Proton and commissions him to knock out Duke, kidnap him, study his brain, and use the information gathered to build Duke robot clones of his own. He would then have Proton use the clones to attract the aliens by getting them onto the moon, inciting a war between man and the aliens, only to attempt to end it by signing a peace treaty with the Cycloid Emperor, which, should it succeed, he would only do for the sake of the fame and recognition he'd get from it. The president would also have "Duke" be a complete dick to everyone around him as a means to destroy the real Duke's reputation, and shift the public's attention to him instead when he, as mentioned, makes peace with the aliens (or at least attempts to do so).

Also, how else is Dr. Proton able to "control" Area 51 until the very beginning of the DLC, when the president's dead and the chaos supposedly ended? Well, Proton didn't "invade" the base until the president died and the vice president (being sworn in as the new president) began to cover up the job by having Proton killed as a means to do so. So suddenly he's "invading" Area 51, despite the fact he would need SO MUCH TIME to be able to control as much of it as he did by the DLC (the reason he was able to obviously being because he was given access by the president to Area 51 in the first place). (1/2)
