Nick Fury/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Escaping a nuclear bomb blast on a rocket powered motorcycle. Shirtless. Nick Fury is CMOA.
  • And of course, this line he delivers to the Skrulls: "Oh yeah? Well... my God has a hammer!"
  • Don't forget delivering a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to a corrupt general who came up with the whole "Fake terrorists crashing a passenger jet full of innocent people as a distraction" plan in The Punisher MAX with his belt.
  • Surrounded and vastly outnumbered by hostile H.A.M.M.E.R. Mooks, he warned them not to mess with him. Result: not only did they surrender, but they also pulled a Heel Face Turn and joined him.
  • The climatic issue in the Yellow Claw storyline when Steranko's Art Evolution hit its full flower with funky surrealism and a mega four page spread that in the 1960s practically demanded you buy a second copy to see it all in one piece, or nowadays open up the fold out pages in the modern reprint books.
