Wolverine has taken a couple. He was shown as being present in Hiroshima when the bomb went off (no, not just in the shitty movie either) and I am pretty sure he took one in a Wolverine vs Venom mini but my memory might be off. He also took one as Deathverine no problem (wasn't even KO'd IIRC). Obviously Logan doesn't tank nukes in the same way as the top tier guys do so it depends on how crazy the writers are feeling about his healing factor.
Wonder Woman has a fairly ambiguous nuke surviving feat from just prior to the reboot. She punched an ICBM in space and it exploded - technically speaking that wouldn't have made the warhead detonate and the art didn't do it much justice but the way the scene was written it seemed pretty clear the writer was going for a nuclear explosion.
The savage Hulk (as I'm sure you are aware) has a ton of nuke and nuke+ showings, most of them not even resulting in a KO. He took a "high megaton" nuke in a completely calm state (although I think the huge emphasis placed on Hulk being calm by a lot of people on the internet isn't really born out in any actual comic showings but still) in Incredible Hulk Annual #6. The explosion blew him across hundreds of miles of ocean but he was fine when he landed. In Incredible Hulk #174-#175 he also was completely unharmed by an explosion that was very explicitly bigger than any nuke ever detonated (and these issues were published 15 years after the Tsar Bomb was tested). Hulk was literally bear-hugging the source of the explosion when it went off, and endured atmospheric reentry immediately after and being spiked into a mountain by Black Bolt as he neared landing. He was conscious and fine at the end of it all, so yeah, Hulk would take the Tsar Bomb too - and that's without dipping into the numerous nuke and nuke+ feats the gravage Hulk amassed in the Pak era and after.
Superman probably has the most showings and best record against nukes of any character in comics. Even Byrne has him able to take a 40-megaton nuke to the face, although he was KO'd in that instance. Prior to the reboot he had laughed off nukes more times than is worth counting, they just weren't a legitimate threat to him. Waverider claimed Superman shrugged off an explosion equivalent to a *million* nukes in Hunter/Prey without being KO'd (it's possible, maybe even probable, that he was exaggerrating somewhat, but the general point should be clear enough).
Cheers.
