Fury (Marvel Comics) - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

The Fury seemed to be harder and harder to defeat every time Captain Britain and the X-Men confronted it. The Fury was described as "the supreme killing machine" and usually defeated its super-powered quarries with energy blasts that it could fire from its left arm. These were potent enough to kill literally every superhero on the planet, in its original reality. The Fury could also fire poisonous, barbed darts. The Fury carried detailed files on all known superhumans, and its sophisticated array of sensors was powerful enough to recognize when it has killed all superhumans present in the universe. It has a back-up 'brain' in its spine, should its main brain be disabled.

The Fury has super-strength, and is virtually indestructible with vast energy reserves. If damaged, it has complex self-repair systems, and is capable of self-mutation; developing new powers to deal with unexpected situations. The Fury thus develops limited teleportation abilities, and when it continues to track the resurrected Captain Britain across realities, it acquired the ability to cross dimensions. Trans-dimensional travel nearly destroys the Fury, and it usually needs to acquire raw "genetic material" to rebuild itself. It is most vulnerable to being destroyed at this time, as its strength, invulnerability and energy blasts are compromised. The Fury can kill regular humans and use their bodies for this purpose, although killing non-superhumans appears to not be a primary function of the Fury.

The Fury's dart weapon is generally reserved for dire emergencies. The darts are tipped with a powerful sedative mutagenic, possibly to ready the body for absorption. The Fury kills a host body with its attached barb and drags the body closer to itself. Sid, a hapless drifter, managed to escape the Fury shortly after it warped to Captain Britain’s dimension, but he was grazed by one of the Fury's darts. The powerful toxin turned him into a grotesque monster that terrorized London until Captain Britain and the British Army killed him. The Fury can and will use any other resources around to rebuild and improve itself; and absorbed most of the 'Mastermind' computer at Braddock Manor, giving it improved computational abilities. It is unknown how Mad Jim Jaspers acquired the technical proficiency to make a complex construct like the Fury, although it is possible that he used his reality warping powers to give him access to the technology.
