Name: Colonel Nicholas Joseph Fury
Codename: None
Age: 87 Height: 6' 1" Weight: 225 lbs Eyes: Blue Hair: Brown, greying at the temple
Physical Description: Fury has a muscular and athletic build. A wicked scar covers the left side of his leathery face, and a patch covers his left eye. An avid cigar smoker, he is always chewing on a cigar even if he isn't smoking it.
Personality: Fury is always gruff and cynical. He takes pride in being well-informed and one step ahead of everything. He is above all else a soldier, and follows orders. He's not afraid to bend those orders a bit, if what's left of his conscience bothers him. Fury is all business and no-nonsense, and runs a very tight ship.
Detailed Description of Powers: None, although Fury annually ingests the Infinity Formula to slow his aging process.
Other Abilities: Fury is Commander-In-Chief of SHIELD, a multinational espionage and anti-terror organization. His intelligence networks and access to state-of-the-art weapons and technology are second to none. Nick Fury has trained as a paratrooper, Ranger, demolitions expert and vehicle specialist. He holds an unlimited-tonnage, all-seas license as a commander of ocean-going vessels, and is qualified to operate most tracked and wheeled vehicles. He is a qualified pilot for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. Fury has completed Special Forces and Delta Force training, and has been an agent of the OSS (Office of Special Services) and a liaison of the MI5 (British Secret Intelligence). He is a seasoned unarmed and armed combat expert, was a heavyweight boxer in the Army, and holds a black belt in Tae Kwan Do and a brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu. He is a qualified expert with all NATO and former Warsaw Pact small arms. Fury has honed his fighting skills sparring with Captain America, perhaps the world's finest unarmed-combat expert.
Originally From: New York City, New York
Known Family: None
Bio: Nick Fury, the eldest of three children born to an American pilot who died in battle during the final year of World War I, grew up in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York City. He enlisted in the Army with the start of American involvement in World War II, rising quickly to the rank of Sergeant. In the European Theater of operations, Fury led the Howling Commandos, a band of soldiers made famous by their foolhardy but brave combat style.
Fury remained on active duty through the Korean War, during which the Howlers were reunited for a special mission that garnered Fury a battlefield commission and promotion to Second Lieutenant. Fury spied for the French government in Vietnam in the 1950s, earning him the rank of Colonel and eventually a full-time appointment to the CIA. After several years with the CIA, he became director of the newly organized international-espionage organization SHIELD.
Fury's leadership saw the organization through countless crises and was instrumental in thwarting major threats to world freedom. As SHIELD grew to the vast international network it is today, regional directors and subversives within the organization began to undertake questionable operations without Fury's authorization or knowledge. Former agent Barbara Morse, a.k.a. Mockingbird, was pivotal in revealing to Fury the corruption within SHIELD.
Fury has since returned to his roots as a field operative performing undercover work.
