Ultimate Nick Fury
General Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury is a fictional character first published by Marvel Comics. Originally an Italian American colonel with graying brown hair, Nick Fury was redesigned to look like actor Samuel L. Jackson, who went on to portray Fury in several Marvel movies set in the established Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as a brief post-credits scenes in Iron Man and Thor, two scenes in Captain America: The First Avenger, and in a supporting role in Iron Man 2. Most recently, Jackson played Fury in The Avengers, a film which featured the character as a protagonist. Fury has a substantial presence in all the Ultimate Marvel comics, appearing first in Ultimate Marvel Team-Up and Ultimate X-Men and later reappearing regularly in Ultimate Spider-Man and finally securing a regular, recurring role as the General of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the leader of the Ultimates, a re-imagining of the Avengers.
