I just rewatched Code Geass and the whole flieja think got me thinking.

Assuming that a nuke is fission based, or fission to fusion, could you in theory stop that fission and or the chain reaction after by either using something to stabilize the atoms, negatively charging the atoms in order for the binding energy to be insufficient to produce proper energy, or some other form of opposite action to equalize the warhead?

I admit I know little about nukes​ and am just curious. I also understand that the most practical way to stop one is to just shoot them down. This is more just wondering if there would be a theoretically possible way to stop the warhead from detonation or prevent a full detonation if other attempts fail.

We really just need Iron Man to grab it and toss it through a wormhole into space.

Theoretically, I believe so. Every action has an equal/opposite reaction. I'm no scientist, though.

I don't believe so. You'd have to be able to remove or stop the neutrons and that wouldn't really be possible with a nuclear weapon.
