Nick Fury

Nick Fury was the longtime director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and is known as the world's greatest spy. He is the son of Jack Fury the leader of the Howling Commandos and brother of Jake Fury, leader of the Zodiac.

Early Life
Fury idolized Captain America growing up and was given the responsibility of taking care of Cap's motorcycle by his father. In the early days of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury took a team of agents to destroy a Hydra base storing prototype battle robots. Fury did not know that the Winter Soldier had infiltrated his team and was taking out the other agents while Fury was planting explosives. He didn't know what had happened until he had planted the last explosive and started the detonation process. The explosion killed everyone inside and Nick Fury got a glimpse of the Winter Soldier just as the last bomb exploded in Fury's face. He lost his left eye as a result and wore an eyepatch afterward, holding a grudge against the man who had taken the lives of so many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
