Nick Fury (Sgt. Fury)

"Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

- Nick Fury introducing himself.

Nick Fury is the head of the meta-human regulation organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. in Marval Comics and often a go between for the Avengers. He also has a brother who is his exact opposite named Jake who is a villain named Scorpio. While Fury has his superiors, S.H.I.E.L. D. exists as an off the books group with no official links to any government or leader and so Fury often acts as the defacto leader of the group granting his sponsors' anonymity and him the relative authority to act without immediate oversight. While Fury, and most agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are not themselves meta-humans all members are trained to deal with superhuman threats and Fury himself is considered a threat on-par with the Hulk despite his lack of superpowers. Nick Fury's combat training, know-how, determination and tactical genius are what make him the hero he is. While having a less than righteous personality and being second guessed by many politicians and super heroes Fury has a very firm since of ethics that have kept S.H.I.E.L.D. running smoothly and altruistically for decades.
