" @Marshal Victory: Even though Ultimate X-Men was sl;ightly based on the X-Men movie.. Samuel L Jackson "portrayed" Nick Fury WAY BEFORE any of the Iron Man movie cameo's "
true but it still doesnt dispute what im saying .ultimate nick fury was redesigned to be like samuel jackson. "
Actor Samuel L. Jackson gave his consent for Marvel Comics to use his likeness in their redesign of the Fury character for The Ultimates, and first appeared with this revised look in Ultimates #1, as drawn by Bryan Hitch. This is not a unique practice for writer Mark Millar, who similarly had artist J.G. Jones use the explicit likenesses of Eminem, Halle Berry and Tommy Lee Jones for the major characters in the miniseries Wanted (although, in this case, apparently without their consent). The similarity is even noted within the comic itself, in a scene in which the Ultimates discuss who they think should play each of them in a hypothetical movie about the team. Fury's answer for himself is "Mr. Samuel L. Jackson, of course, no discussion."
