Born and raised in the area of New York City known as Hell's Kitchen around 1920, Nick Fury is a WWII veteran, having led the famous Howling Commandos, a highly trained first-strike squad.

He was then recruited by Iron Man to be the next director of SHIELD. Under his command, SHIELD became the primary organization in dealings with superhuman activities and have forge an alliance with the superhero team, Avengers. At one time, Nick had to disband SHIELD because of being it is being manipulated by free-thinking Life Model Decoys.But when he manipulated the heroes during the Secret War and the consequent memory erasure, he was forced into hiding. Even more enigmatic than before, he is now distrusted by all his former allies, yet he continues to be one of the most important figures in the Marvel Universe, pulling many strings from behind the scenes and keeping in touch with only those who he trusts most--or whose obedience he feels that he can use to his advantage.
