Talk:Nick Fury (Ultimate Marvel character)

message: Don't merge this. Ultimate is different than 616 Marvel.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.101.2.116 (talk • contribs).
Agreed.  Merging would be as dumb as a bag of ass.  The characters are different for all the Ultimate characters.  Mergers, back away.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.139.199.1 (talk • contribs).
Ultimate Marvel exists in a seperate continuity, therefore the characters should have seperate articles.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.110.140.76 (talk • contribs).
:Um, not according to the Wikipedia Project Comics guidelines - which specifically mention Ultimate Marvel as an example. I'm not about to suggest a merge (and I'm not familiar enough to be confident with editing Ultimate Fury info anyway), but sooner or later someone will suggest one. If you don't think that's a workable idea, it might be worth preparing some arguments as to why. --Mrph 23:45, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

text: That's a more general change, not something that's really specific to Ultimate Nick Fury - I think the place to raise suggestions regarding that would really be Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Comics/editorial_guidelines. Having said that, I think it's also been discussed before, so it might need some justification to overturn the previous decision? --Mrph 23:02, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Isn't that his LATER appearance? Because I seem to remember the guy in marvel team-up and Ultimate X-men did NOT look like SLJ? --Charlesknight 13:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I know this has already been discussed a little, but let's get the formal discussion out of the way -  should Ultimate Nick Fury be merged with Nick Fury, or shouldn't it? The editorial guidelines on alternate versions specifically mention Ultimate Marvel as an example, and suggest that characters should be covered in a single article unless the main article "grows unmanageably large".

* Merge --Mrph 11:44, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *As a rule, Ultimate titles get their own article, but all alternate versions of a character get a single article. There are exceptions, but there is some sense behind it - comics tend to spawn an awful lot of variants. And in most cases if you're splitting articles for Age of Apocalypse/Marvel 616/Earth X/1602/Ultimate etc, etc... there's going to be an awful lot of repetition and duplication. In any case, decision was that there was no consensus to merge for Nick Fury...? --Mrph 16:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

message: * I know people have strong feelings on this... but Wolverine, Hulk and others are being merged - so why not Fury? There should be some consistency in which articles are/aren't merged,shouldn't there? --Mrph 11:44, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Reports on screenings is that SLJ is in the Iron Man movie, after the credits. It was apparently removed in the pre-release viewings to maintain surprise. Suggest editing or sourcing this information. MikeSims (talk) 19:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

message: "However, it has yet to be clarified why this has not apparently given Fury similar near-superhuman physical prowess like Ultimate Captain America, or if so, why he has chosen to conceal it, as he has apparently done so about his age"
I'm not sure he's never displayed superhuman physical prowess. In Ultimate X-Men he once managed to dodge around automatic weapons fire in a confined space for a short period of time, and in Ultimate Galactus (near the end of the first part), he went toe-to-toe with Wolverine and survived. 96.250.132.46 (talk) 05:04, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  does the Ultimate version of Nick Fury also have the middle name Joseph. 

message: " Fury enlisted in the U.S. military, where he was deployed into various conflicts such as the Kosovo Wars. He was later assigned to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Weapon X program in the original Gulf War." Kosovo War was in 1998-1999. Original Gulf War was in 1990-1991.

thread_title:  Character biography 

message: Ok, I admit I am not a comic book guy, but I did like the Captain America movie and the first Iron Man movie.  Not being familiar with the comic book relationships of the various characters, I had no idea so many of them were intertwined...Spiderman, X-Men, etc.  But that's cool.
What did strike me when reading the main article and the comments page was that no mention was made of (sorry, I gotta do it) David Hasselhoff playing Nick Fury in the (IMHO) horrible movie version of "Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."  
I can only surmise that this obviously missed fact is due to a general un-appreciation for either Hasselhoff's portrayal of Fury, for the storyline of the movie, or the poor handling of the story/character in the movie - or all of the above!
