## Background Narrative

### Nick Fury: 1955 - 1977

Nicky is my son. His mother is Nia Jones, the sister of my close friend Gabe Jones. I had a fling with Nia while visiting Gabe after his departure from the Howling Commandos. This brief affair resulted in a pregnancy. Upon learning who the father was, Gabe tried to convince Nia to get in contact with the SSD for various testing, but Nia chose not to, fearing her son would become a lab experiment. Instead, Nia fled to Washington, D.C. There, Nia took a new name for herself and gave our son the name Marcus Johnson.

However, Gabe did get work to me and I was able to track Nia down. I think I surprised a year off her life when I told her that I felt she was doing the right thing. Our son did not need the SSD getting involved in his development and the racial complications of the era would not bode well for us raising the boy publicly.

Growing up, Marcus believed his father was dead. This ruse allowed Marcus to live a normal life. I was still a part of his life, but he was left to assume I was his dad's war buddy who had promised to look after the guy's kid if anything ever happened to him. In high school, Marcus was a skilled football player and could have easily gone pro. It was about then I suspected he might have residual super-soldier serum in him. At this point, I began to suspect Nia and I might be engaged in a felony by keeping this secret from the government.

Offered a full scholarship to just about every college in the country, I had to break the tough news to my son about the truth of his parentage and convinced him to enlist and enroll at West Point, under the name Nicholas Joseph Fury Jr. Here he made friends with Phil "Cheese" Coulson, another West Point cadet. My son would live up to the family name by being so angry with me he didn't speak to me again until his graduation, and only then to tell me to "Leave him the **[expletive]** alone."

### Nick Fury: 1977 - 1983

Without much in the way of wars to fight at the time, the American military made use of my son in covert engagements, often working with the CIA and Interpol on joint taskforces and peacekeeping assignments around the globe. Through most of this, he was able to leverage his continued cooperation and augmented nature to be paired up with his best friend, "Cheese."

### Nick Fury: 1983 - 1986

When Captain Coulson was injured in the line of duty in Grenada and forced to retire from the military, my son gave me a call and asked me to find a place for his friend as an SSD Agent. I agreed, on the condition that my son and I begin to patch up our relationship. He agreed, though he did not expect me to have him transferred to work as the US Army's SSD liaison to effect our reconciliation.

It took a few more years for my son to come around to talking to me in a civil manner. I tried marrying his mother for a while, but neither Nia nor I were who we once were and the relationship dissolved mutually shortly afterward. I think it was his close friendship with Canadian military liaison Maria Hill, who never knew her own father, that finally brought my son around to agreeing to have a coffee with me every morning in my office.

### Nick Fury: 1986 - 1995

As my relationship with my son was beginning to improve, Bolivar Trask began to campaign to have my son receive Weapon status. Nicky really wanted to become a weapon, but I knew what Trask was trying to do. He felt I was giving my son undo favor and grooming him for a leadership role in the Sentinels...and hell, I probably *was* doing that, but it was because I believed my son would be good for the SSD and it had nothing to do with the politics that Trask was convinced was the case.

Trask got a hold of my son's blood at some point and routinely tested it for the variant genes common to most aberrations/mutants. Luckily, all the tests came back inconclusive but Trask kept trying to assert that my son was a mutant and thus was subject to his oversight. This wasn't the start of the division in the SSD but it was a catalyst in the eventual rift that formed.

### Nick Fury: 1995

Nicky helped me create Shield. He now oversees the development of the Avengers Protocol, with Maria Hill acting as his right-hand woman.

## Shield Analysis

### Special Value: 2

* **Augment-by-Birth/Aberration:** Fury inherited a portion of his father's tampered genes. This is a legal gray area as to the classification of these abilities, Fury could be considered an aberration (or "mutant") but due to his father's legal machinations, he is presently classified as a protected authorized augmented human under American law until the expiration of the "Super-Soldier Act" in November, 1996.
	+ ***Longevity:*** Despite being forty years old, Fury is a spry and healthy as an athletic man in his twenties.
	+ ***Peak Physical Conditioning:*** Fury is as strong, fast, nimble, and durable as a Olympic athlete in prime condition with little need for regular exercise to maintain it.

### Heuristics Value: 5

* **Marksmanship:** Fury is an expert marksman, having mastered the use and maintenance of various handguns, rifles, sub-machineguns, machineguns, and various prototype firearms.

* **Weaponsmaster:** Fury is proficient in wielding blades, clubs, and other handheld weapons. He is similarly skilled in knife-throwing and other thrown weaponry as well.

### Expertise Value: 5

* **Military Training:** Following in his father's footsteps, Fury has trained as a paratrooper, ranger, demolitions expert, and vehicle specialist. He has extensive special forces training.

* **Vehicle Operation:** Fury is proficient in driving cars, motorcycles, trucks, heavy militarized vehicles, and boats. He is also an accomplished pilot of helicopters and standard planes.

### Director's Value: 8

* **Agent 9 of Shield:** "Don't give me any of the nepotism bullshit. Yes, he's my son. Yes, he bears my name. However, he's also got my genes and that means something. My genes weren't the property of the SSD for decades for no reason, people. So let's just be real here, shall we? Since he's got billion dollar blood running through his veins and since he has a damn good teacher to make the best use of that, my little Nicky grew up to be a badass... and not just any sort of badass, either. He's a badass that lives, breathes, and bleeds for the cause. Sure, he's a member of the inner circle of Shield, but we all know he should be a Division Chief, Deputy Director, or hell, give him my job. He's probably do a better job. He grew up in this modern world and I'm an antique of a bygone era. Maybe Stark's boy is right. A digital information age is probably right around the corner. We need fresh blood. We all know there's only one thing keeping my son from Shield leadership: me. When my times comes, do right my boy."
