Return of Ultraman
One of the more sadistic aliens in the universe, Alien Nackle came to Earth to conquer it while disguised as an old man to hide from MAT's whereabouts. Determined to know every weakness about Ultraman Jack, Nackle studied the ultra in battle to reveal what could be exploited as a weakness. This was done by reviving the monsters, Seagorath and Bemstar to do battle against the Ultra. Ultraman Jack was more than a match for the two monsters combined and eventually they were both destroyed, but Alien Nackle had all the info he needed on the ultra. Unleashing his bodyguard monster Black King as a decoy to distract MAT]], Alien Nackle stole one of MAT's vehicles to get important information about Ultraman Jack's human host, Hideki Go. Discovered that Goh had a love for his girlfriend, Aki, Nackle kidnapped Aki her inside the swiped car and the alien's henchmen held Aki out of the moving car, literally dragging her across the pavement, fatally wounding her. During the confrontation, One of Goh's friends, Ken Sakata, was in the area and tried to stop the car, but was run over and killed. Once Goh heard the news and arrived at the hospital, he only had enough time to see her die in front of his eyes.

With Jack now emotionally broken, Nackle unleashed Black King again in an all-out assult on Earth. Go transformed into Ultraman Jack to fight the monster, but Ultraman Jack's attacks proved useless against Black King as the info Nackle gathered on Jack's earlier battle enhanced Black King, making him able to overpower Jack entirely. Finally Alien Nackle appeared in his true form and joined Black King in mercilessly brutalizing Jack until the ultra's strength was spent completely. Nackle called two spacecrafts to lift Jack using two chains attached to his arms and Jack was airlifted into space, prepared to be executed on Nackle's home planet. Alien Nackle then appeared before MAT, revealing his true self, and his intentions, as well as revealing a new weapon, a mind-controlling Satellite Dish. With MAT now under Nackle's hypnotic control, Nackle's conquest for Earth seemed complete with Yuriko hiding from her mind controlled team.

Miraculously as Jack was preparing for his execution, Ultraman and Ultraseven appeared, destroying the spacecrafts that held him, and reviving Jack's power. Jack gave a salute to his comrades before taking off back to Earth. However, upon returning, Go was seized by MAT comrades, who'd all been placed under Nackle's Mind-Control, & was captured blind folded. Yuriko arrived to save Goh, & they beat them unconscious, seeing a needle in their ear which was linked to satellite. Goh quickly made his way to Black King and Alien Nackle for one final fight. Go became Ultraman Jack again, but Nackle and Black King were still be too strong for him to beat. During the fight, Jack managed to destroy the mind-control Dish, freeing MAT from Nackle's control. Recieving support from his fellow MAT members, Jack fought back with much strength. Jack managed to kill Black King by decapitating him, leaving Nackle all alone. Jack then grabbed Alien Nackle, tossed him up into the air, and slammed him down onto his head, severing the alien's spine. At death's door, Nackle then warned Jack that one of his weapons was still remaining and would destroy Japan and he laughed before dissolving away.

Ultraman Mebius & The Ultraman Brothers
"It looks like you're too late anyway. Look, Yapool's hatred has already revived! *laughs* U-Killersaurus is even more powered up than it's revived. You have no chance of defeating it now. Sooner or later, the Galactic Union and I, Alien Nackle will... *screams*"

- Alien Nackle's final moments before killed by U-Killersaurus.

A Second Alien Nackle appeared in the film, Ultraman Mebius & Ultraman Brothers.

In this film, a different Alien Nackle has made an alliance with fellow aliens: Alien Temperor, Alien Zarab, and Alien Guts in order to kill Ultraman Mebius and release U-Killersaurus and Yapool from the seaside of Kobe. Once The Ultra Brothers appeared to save Mebius from Guts's attack, Nackle appeared to assist the alien and the two aliens and the Ultra Brothers got into and long brawl. During the battle, The Brothers managed to released Mebius from his prison, but they were trapped themselves by an ambush from Guts and Nackle. With Mebius too weak to fight, Guts and Nackle used their ship to drain the Ultras of their energy and break the seal of U-Killersaurus. During the process, Mebius regained his strength and battled both aliens by himself with little trouble, destroying Guts and saving the other Ultra Brothers. However they were too late and U-Killersaurus and Yapool were released. Alien Nackle began to revel in his victory, but was coldly murdered by U-Killersaurus with a single blast. To Yapool, Nackle and the others were just pawns.

Trivia

 * Voice actor: Ryusei Nakao

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey
Another Alien Nackle appeared in episode 3 of the series Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey as a reionyx.

In this series, Alien Nackle controlled the monster Galberos and was first seen killing an Alien Zelan and his Arstron in battle. Alien Nackle then located Rei and used Galberos to create hypnotic illusions of Zetton to fight Rei and his Gomora. Whenever it seemed Zetton was destroyed by them, he kept "reviving," Alien Nackle used the illusions to slowly ware out Rei and Gomora. Once Reimon and Gomora were too worn to fight, Alien Nackle sent Galbaros himself to finish the battle. Suddenly, Reimon entered into Burst Mode for the first time, transforming Gomora into Reionic Burst Gomora. Galbaros was no match for Gomora’s new power and was vaporized by Gomora. Reimon turned his attention to Alien Nackle, ordering Gomora to kill him with the Super Oscillatory Ray, murdering the alien in a blind rage.

Trivia

Ultraman Ginga
In Episode 7, Nackle, along with many other kaiju and seijin, were cheering on Ultraman Ginga as he fights Dark Galberos.

Another Alien Nackle appears in this series as Gray, where he becomes one of the underlings of Dark Lugiel, granted the mission to spread chaos and feed evil hearts to his master by corrupting any individual with the Dark Dummy Spark. He was defeated by Ultraman Ginga while DarLived as Super Grand King.

Ultraman X
Alien Nackle returns in Ultraman X alongside Black King. Here, he is named as Bandero (バンデロ).

Bandero is an arms dealer that was hunted by Ultraman Zero. He arrived on Earth and tried to steal the Spark Dolls from Xio by using Black King to delay them. Approaching Xio Aramis, he defeated Wataru but forced to abandon the Spark Dolls for a while when Black King is in a pinch, overpowering Ultraman X until Ultimate Zero arrived and turn the tides of the battle. He flees into Planet Gilmo with Black King while bringing Aramis.

At Gilmo, he armed Black King with a new horn drill and contacted his client but Rui appeared and reclaim the Spark Dolls back. Interested in Rui for being an inventor, Nackle offered her a place under his wing in exchange for her weapons but she denied, prompting the enlarged Bandero to chase her until Zero arrived in that planet. Black King Drill Custom aided his master but X appeared as well and both Ultras overpowered the villainous duo. Nackle was weakened by Zero's StrongCorona Attack, Ultra Hurricane, Garnet Buster, and Miracle Zero Sluggers before being deliberated by the Zero Twin Shoot.

Trivia

 * Voice actor: Tetsuo Kishi
 * A new suit was made for Bandero instead of reusing Gray's suit. As shown in comparison, Bandero's skin tone is brighter than Gray. This was purposely made to re-invoke the elements of the generation of Alien Nackle from Return of Ultraman.
 * Whenever Bandero wanted to become huge, he would remove his poncho first but his gun and the holster remains his size. It is possible that his poncho isn't capable of enlarging like his weapons or that he removes it for easy mobility.
 * It is also revealed that the race's currency is also named after their planet, "Nackle".
