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.

Famous quotes containing the words ultimate, nick and/or fury:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“His pain was too great. He begged me for the simple mercy of death. And I could do nothing else but help him leave a world that had become a sleepless, tortured nightmare to him.”
—Robert D. Andrews, and Nick Grindé. Dr. John Garth (Boris Karloff)
“The house waited on your private beach
each day,
when you had the time to return to her.
And you so often had the time,
even when fury blew out her chimney,
even when love lifted the shingles....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
