haha yep, I miss old Nick too. The Clint Eastwood of the Marvel Universe.
At least he's gonna be a regular in the new Defenders series though. The only place you can get your Iron Fist fix, Dr strange fix, Surfer fix and Antman fix, all in one place! haha!

@Just1Superguy...it's probably cus the mother cheated with Gabe Jones...finally, a secret Nick knows nothing about!!

Come to think of it, it really should've been Gabe's kid, now under Nick's wing cus his Gabe's dead. Missed opportunity.

Are they rebooting the amazing spiderman run?
Matador
Matador - 7/9/2012, 9:46 AM
So who did the original Nick Fury shack up with to produce this one eyed prodigy?
mctrinket
mctrinket - 7/9/2012, 9:48 AM
So Fury is black now in the 616?

AC1 - 7/9/2012, 9:48 AM
As much as I prefer the look of Ultimate Nick Fury, there was absolutely no need for 616 Marvel to have this character introduced. It was completely unnecessary, they already have a perfectly good Nick Fury.
Matador
Matador - 7/9/2012, 9:48 AM
Also how did he lose an eye too?
jojofmd
jojofmd - 7/9/2012, 9:49 AM
No Caucasian? He's as "black" as the current POTUS and his momma is as white as sugar so I think your argument is moot.

xcrementus - 7/9/2012, 9:49 AM
@Spidey31, they've said a lot that its not a reboot.
They're just changing up a lot of writers, throwing #1's around, and launching new books.
There's no word yet on whether Dan Slott is off of Spidey, although promos show a new costume, it looks like the old Alex Ross concept design thats been floating around for years.

@Matador: An old agent that Nick used to work with, she retired and raised the kid away from Nick. He kept tabs on them though.
He lost the eye, when the leader of Leviathan cut it out, as a way to say "frick you" to Fury for nearly killing him.

Using the Sam J version of Fury tells me we might possibly have plots that run along side the movies..?

The success of The Avengers and the release of this news is way too coincidental, it actually feels more likely than the idea they're copying the New 52 idea

Battle Scars was great. Looking forward to seeing more of the new Nick. :)
Matador
Matador - 7/9/2012, 10:02 AM
xcrementus - Ahhhhh thanks for the update. Makes sense now then jumping to conclusions.

Like thinking he might have a bastard child from a rookie shield agent he hooked up with. And then loosing his eye after a paper clip war.

@Just1Superguy- Samuel L. Jackson DOES have caucasian blood ties in his family (I saw it in a PBS special), but I think that Fury should be one who is not black nor white. I think that this could be another face of his in the 616. Years down the road we find out that Fury was actually Tom Defalco...

Anyone wondering what is going on with the black "sammy" looking fury, then read the battle scars run 1-6. It will explain everything. It was a decent story and everything and it works, but I do think it was a forced move to make fury in 616 look like "sammy" so that after avengers and what not "new readers" that might jump in after the movie or whenever won't be confused when seeing white fury. Forced, but with battle scars...not a complete BS move. I do think they need to start doing more stuff with new Nick since battle scars, because since then....you haven't heard jack squat. I hope this doesn't just POP up in October and all of a sudden everyone is "Oh, ok new black Nick fury. Sure we'll do what you say" Now THAT would piss me off.

I don't think people are bitching just more like WTF where they stash this kid and no back story. Does he have his diploma to run Shield?

It would be better if Nick Fury was like James Bond. Whoever is in that position they can call themselves NICK FURY

LOL, not a name...ITS YOUR POSITION!

time nick fury in whatever guise he is in stepped down and handed the control over to new leader of shield, will be hard to fill his boots but there are some out there able to and do so well, franklyn richards has yet to fill a role since saving the universe, howard the duck is not busy, forbushman might do well, there are many not busy who would fill the roll may be a poll is needed.

@Just1Superguy

WTF. some mixed race children sometimes take more or less of the race. look at The Rock he is half black but some people say he look more samoan.

Nick Fury Jr first entered the 616 universe in the post Fear Itself series Battle Scars along with Agent Coulson. Long story short, Fury Jr has the Infinity Formula in his blood and villains were after it in his blood.

But honestly I liked his original name Marcus. Marcus Fury sounds better and less forced on for marketing like Nick Fury Jr

I'm all for this. Let Fury Sr run wild and chase Hydra and such while Jr and S.H.E.I.L.D. get the world back on track. Put Hill under him, and Agent Coulson as his right hand man and we're good. he be a more hands on Fury, like the way Sr was back in the day.

@ OrganziedChaos - Agreed Marcus Fury Sounds much better.

I don't even like the fact that "Nick Fury Jr." exists. What a cheap, insulting piece of 'storytelling.'
Matador
Matador - 7/9/2012, 1:01 PM
You have two Nick Fury's both in charge of the most expensive & elite organization they also have advanced tech at there disposal, yet none can afford a cybernetic eyeball to replace a cheap patch.

Please Marvel enough with the Nick Fury Jr. Old Nick Fury was a cool character and this new one is turning me off a little.
