Once a gung-ho sergeant during World War II, Nick Fury worked his way up the U.S. intelligence ladder. Fury's training and experience is augmented by the mysterious Infinity Formula and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s high tech arsenal. As director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury supervises daily administrative affairs and serves as supreme field commander. His leadership has seen S.H.I.E.L.D. through countless crises, and has been instrumental in thwarting major threats to world freedom launched by such subversive organizations as Hydra, Zodiac and A.I.M. (Advanced Idea of Mechanics). Occasionally, Fury finds himself working with, or against, superheroes like the Avengers or Wolverine. |
