History: Nicholas "Nick" Fury is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who oversaw the construction of the supervillain prisons the Cube, the Vault, the Big House, and the Raft.
Fury founded the organization S.H.I.E.L.D. to secure the world from villainous threats. Ten years ago, Fury offered Franklin Hall the chance to join S.H.I.E.L.D. to recreate the Super Soldier Serum. The project failed and the scientist gained gravikinetic powers. Fury felt responsible and had Franklin locked up in the Raft.
After a recent Hydra attack on the UN, Nick Fury arrived at the Vault to interrogate Baron Strucker. The interrogation was interrupted when the Grim Reaper infiltrated the prison in a plot to free Baron Strucker. Grim Reaper succeeded in freeing Strucker (temporarily) and gave the Baron his 'Satan's Claw' so that he could rejuvenate himself. Both Baron Strucker and Grim Reaper made it to one of the hovercars to take off. Nick Fury ended up throwing Baron Strucker back onto the landing pad where the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents easily subdued him and took him back to his cell. Fury then proceeded to defeat and capture the Grim Reaper, imprisoning him as well.
Personality: Nick Fury is more a man of action. He wants the heroes to join and work for S.H.I.E.L.D., but since they refused, he let them go their own way. He is also an admirer of Captain America, whom his father, Jack Fury, told him about.
He is sometimes a little bit arrogant as leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.. He always means business and takes every threat seriously.
Abilities & Resources: Nick is completely ageless due to the infinity-formula treatment and is at peak-human conditioning, thus possessing remarkable human strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes and metabolic rate.
He is one of the top-trained military operatives in the world and has experience to match. Not much can take Nick Fury by surprise.
