Nick Fury is an ageless superspy. He has been an agent (and later director) of S.H.I.E.L.D., an international security organization. He first appeared in Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos #1 (May, 1963), created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The Howling Commandos series ran for 120 issues (May, 1963-July, 1974), featuring the World War II adventures of an army unit. In Fantastic Four vol. 1 #21 (December, 1963), an older Nick Fury appeared alive and well in the 1960s. He was no longer with the military, instead serving as an agent of the CIA. This version of Fury next appeared in Strange Tales #135 (August, 1965), where Fury became the leading agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the lead of a new series. He has since served as the lead character of several series and magazines. However, the most famous version was the period with Jim Steranko at the helm, that showed arty Surrealism, Op Art and graphic design sensibilities had a place in comics.The life story of Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury is relatively simple. A World War II vet from New York's Hell's Kitchen, Fury started fighting the Nazis with his Band of Brothers the Howling Commandos first before moving onto more esoteric foes of humanity. It was sometime between moving to work for the CIA and fighting a hate-ray powered clone of Adolf Hitler alongside a walking pile of rocks that Fury realized that when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.In 2000, Marvel launched the Ultimate Marvel universe with reimagined versions of its characters, and for Nick Fury's redesign they decided to model him on Samuel L. Jackson; this caused some legal issues as Mr. Jackson was not asked permission for his likeness, but a deal was hashed out where he agreed to let them use it on the condition that he get to play the part if any movies involving the character were made (Mr. Jackson bears no ill-will toward the comic creators these days, especially given the success of the MCU and his role in it). Eventually they contacted him to play the role in Marvel Cinematic Universe as per their arrangement, and as a result of those movies' popularity the Jackson version has become the pop-culture image of Fury and the version used in all adaptations since; Marvel has even introduced a Jackson-Expy "Nick Fury Jr." into the original continuity. Since then, Nick Fury Jr. has become the "main" Nick Fury, after the original was Put on a Bus in Original Sin and the Ultimate Nick Fury was killed in Secret Wars (2015). Original Nick later returned for a year or so as the team benefactor in Exiles (2018).Nick Fury has appeared in the following works:Nick Fury Comic Books Sgt.

| Nick Fury (Comic Book) / int_4782e60f | comment |
Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk: Invoked. Nick Fury claimed this for himself in back in the '70s Captain America comic. After he'd spent a whole issue getting The Falcon pardoned for his criminal past, Cap remarked, "Fury, under that rough, unshaven exterior..." Fury interrupted, "There's an even rougher, unshaven interior!" Of course, in this case, it's very blustering; while later writers did make Fury genuinely amoral, around this time he was still a pretty straightforward bleeding-heart hero. | |

Put on a Bus: Vanished from Marvel after 2005 and returned in the lead-up to Secret Invasion. After Fear Itself, he disappeared again, being replaced by his son; until he resurfaced for Original Sin before being turned into The Watcher's successor and vanishing again. He then returns in Exiles (2018) as the new team's benefactor. | |

Broken-System Dogmatist: Can come off as one of these, especially in stories where he's a gung-ho Pro-American supporting a blatant Type II corrupt Eagle Land, while handwaving his country's own corruption. Played straight during the "Fantastic Four" storyline where Doom was banished to Hell and Fury attempted to arrest Mr. Fantastic for taking over Latveria and liberating its population from Doom's influence as international crimes. One of the Latverians outright called Fury a hypocrite for tolerating Doom's own brutal tyranny and America even giving Doom diplomatic immunity, while claiming to arrest Mr. Fantastic for trying to let native Latverians live independently. | |

Never My Fault: If something goes wrong, Fury will never be at fault. It'll all be someone else's, even if it actually is his fault. Sometimes it just depends on what happened. Secret Warriors has him admit that every life he ever sent to battle was his own fault, which is why Baron Strucker can't actually claim the responsibility of getting his son killed. In Original Sin, he tells Captain America I Did What I Had to Do, and he's not sorry for any of it, except for the punch that he then gives to Cap. | |

Pragmatic Hero: Fury often uses morally questionable tactics like lying, manipulation to outright murder. Despite this he does care for other people, tries to minimize damage, and values freedom and justice. These acts are often necessary to stop people who don't care for the lives of others and often want to watch the world burn. | |

| Nick Fury (Comic Book) / int_b3de4c5b | comment |
Sex God: Garth Ennis portrays him as this. During one storyline in The Punisher MAX he is roused during a mission to be updated on Castle with three women in his bed. In his own miniseries after the handicapped boy he's looking after injures himself he goes into a... well, fury and phones for half a dozen Asian hookers. | |

Shell-Shocked Veteran | |
| Nick Fury (Comic Book) / int_b5cd68e9 | comment |
Shellshocked Veteran: His MAX series and appearences in The Punisher MAX portray him as this, disillusioned with Iraq, looking after a young boy who he wants to mercy kill, drinking heavily, sleeping with multiple hookers, and beating the crap out of US generals when they resort to terrorism. | |

Berserk Button: People trying to tell him what to do will piss him off. Trying to take S.H.I.E.L.D. from him will piss him off. Being HYDRA will... you get the idea. | |

Seen It All | |
| Nick Fury (Comic Book) / int_cd7ef676 | comment |
Seen It All: He's moving towards the century mark, has been in three wars (WWII, Korea and Vietnam), worked for the CIA before moving on to S.H.I.E.L.D. and has been through paratrooper, demolition, Army Ranger and Special Forces training. All this before he started taking on super villains as the boss of SHIELD. | |

Walking Shirtless Scene | |
| Nick Fury (Comic Book) / int_d4bb4e51 | comment |
Walking Shirtless Scene: In his days with the Howling Commandos, and in the early Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. stories, Nick usually got his shirt ripped off or destroyed well before the halfway point of the story. Later on, S.H.I.E.L.D. uniforms came to be made of more durable materials. | |

The Chessmaster: In Secret Warriors Nick has let Baron Strucker believe that he secretly controls S.H.I.E.L.D. all this time, because that puts him in a position where he can secretly control HYDRA. | |

Breakout Character | |
| Nick Fury (Comic Book) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: Both the Original and Modern. The White Nick Fury got his start in the anthology comic Strange Tales and was soon moved to being a supporting character in the Marvel Universe and got many of his own series and a movie, where as the modern AKA Ultimate Universe version was so popular in that comic series that it became the new main version of the character in other media even being in the MCU played by his inspiration, Samuel L. Jackson. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Nick Fury (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: Nick Fury's eyepatch is due to receiving an injury to his left eye from a grenade during World War II. Fantastic Four #21 shows a flashback with Nick Fury without an eyepatch, before his World War II injury, when he was working for the CIA. Marvel: The Lost Generation #10 establishes Fury wore a bionic eye replacement before the modern era, which retcons the appearance of Nick Fury without an eyepatch as Nick Fury with a bionic eye implant. In Fury #1, a flashback shows the Scorpio LMD, disguised as Jake Fury, shooting Nick Fury in the left eye. This flashback is assumed to take place after Nick Fury was already wearing a bionic eye, so the shot to his eye damaged his bionic eye, otherwise, Nick Fury would have lost his left eye twice. | |

Sink or Swim Mentor: In Secret Warriors, he makes all of his recruitment undergo a Secret Test of Character by torturing them and seeing if they reveal anything. Keep in mind, this is pretty early in the training process. | |

Morality Pet: Daisy Johnson/Quake is his, and seems to be the closest thing he has to a daughter. He treats her the same as he treats everyone else. Failing that, Dum Dum Dugan's the nearest replacement. Results are also mixed. | |

Evil Twin - Sort of. He has an LMD that developed an individual consciousness and thought it was the real thing. It took a while for it to go evil. At first, he just went rogue and spent years dismantling terrorist cells. | |
