	So, we now have Ultimate Nick Fury in the main MU...Was this freaking necessary? Ult. Fury is a terrible character, why is he needed? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 17 comments) (Show 17 comments)

	"Was this freaking necessary?" Probably has to do with the movie coming out--besides, this Fury hasn't been shown to be anywhere near as much of a douchebag as Ultimate Fury was after a while. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	Welp, I'm guessing this paves the way for killing Nick Fury, since they're doing this for the movie audience, and movie audiences might be confused by two Nick Furys of different race running around. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

Almost like "Mephisto tempering the past to make it that Peter and MJ were never married in which they end up having nothing to barter with to make him changed the past making the whole story arc kinda non-existing yet still existing at the same time, let alone defying Marvel's time travel laws and the fact that the fact their not getting hitch somehow hardly changed anything except for a plotline that went nowhere but somehow got a dead man to come back and Peter losing a trait from his movie left unexplained" kinda of convenient

This is why I love comics

The sheer audacity of this move is absolutely breathtaking! We get to have our cake and eat it, too. If you can buy an "Infinity Formula," what's so hard about buying this? It's silly, batsh*t crazy idea, but that IS one of the things I love about comics. It's hardly an unprecedented new way to create a legacy character (Baron Zemo, anyone?), and I love it. We still have good old Nick out there, using the time he has left to settle some scores, with the real threat of his actual death out there; AND we have Fury back in the field as an agent, as he was when he was reintroduced into the Marvel Universe as Marvel 616's answer to the era of James Bond, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and Mission: Impossible. As Captain Spock told Admiral James T. Kirk, "If I may be so bold, it was a mistake for you to accept promotion. Commanding a starship is your first, best destiny; anything else is a waste of material." Nick's best destiny is in the field. Pulling him into line with the look of Samuel L. Jackson in the film puts both the comics and the whole Avenger's franchise on more solid ground. Everybody wins.

Interesting. We'll see how this goes. But... I liked having the original Fury around in 616. ...Doesn't even matter anymore, I follow so few titles lately. ._. Perhaps when it hits trade.
I also remember why I decided to avoid certain websites until I get to see the movie. *Puts them on a temporary black list*

So next week, I too will get to see the movie, YJ will get another new episode (I like next week's episode title) and my favourite comic book shop will participate in Free Comic Book Day events. Next week better be as great as it sounds to me.

	I like how they gave him Steve's " Commander Rogers " outfit: it's another cool thing neatly put (well, kept) in circulation. And that is a much more two-fisted Phil Coulson than I ever expected to see, there in the final page. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

Wow, Marvel heroes have alot of hammy-downs.
Spider-Girl had Ben Riley's SPidey suit...
Ant-Man to Ant-Man...
Peter's new suits to Cain...
THe Iron Spider Suits passed to 3 clones of this one guy who had hardly ANY connection to the wall-crlawer...

I bet if she existed in this universe; everyone, from Squirrel Girl to Dr. Doom, would have worn that battle suit Kim Possible had after the movie...

	Wait, I thought Fury didn't need Infinity Formula doses anymore. Something about how his body has started naturally producing it after so many years. I think they even had a big storyline about it. Some villain caught him, and tried to...juice him, I guess. (Reply to this)

Why? I LIKE Ultimate Fury, at least in Ultimate Spider-man and Ultimates Vol 1 & 2, but I like him in the Ultimate Universe. Something I used to read frequently pre-Ultimates 3. This defeats the purpose of the character. Marvel you just gave every 616 fanboy valid reason to complain about Ultimate U characters. They're all managing to seep into the main Marvel U witch basically makes them irrelevant.
