Fury was born in New York and grew up in the mean streets of Hells Kitchen, Manhattan, The son of highly decorated aviator during the war who has returned home to a life of mediocrity, bigotry and deprivation. The local street gangs was a constant problem for the 2 Fury boys growing up. A young fighter from the time he could walk, Nicks old man; Jack, decided he’d take some of that energy and harness it in a productive way... that and hopefully keep Nick from a life on the wrong side of the tracks... Nick became one of the youngest golden glove recipients in the State of New York.<br/><br/>By the age of 16 Nick was being recruited with a little help from his father’s connections with the military, and found himself being taken away to an all boys Academy for future officers. Once again Nick’s short temper and heavy hands made him amongst the other boys a force to be reckoned with and someone you just did not mess with... After an altercation with a new student whose father was a well known Politician who was well on the road to the white house... Nick’s little slaps on the wrist turned into a punishment he would never be able to forget. A simple, standard exercise involving rifle dissemination goes awry and a supposedly empty rifle goes off, leaving a chunk of shrapnel in the eye of young Nick, leaving him temporarily blind.<br/><br/>Nick was pulled from the Academy and taken to a military research facility where he was chosen by a Dr. Berthold Sternberg for an experimental treatment. Nick Fury was inoculated with the Infinity Formula as it was known in its infancy, in an effort to regenerate his damaged cells to his retina and hopefully returning his sight to its original state.<br/><br/>Without notice the aging process that Dr. Sternberg was so proud of suddenly became a major problem that was bound to collapse the program entirely, when Nick began to age rapidly, seemingly before every ones own eye’s. A last minute gene manipulation managed to save Nick from further aging but it soon became clear that the Formula would need to be taken continuously and monitored. Nick Fury may have not realized it yet, but his life was no longer his. He had become Property of the US Government.<br/><br/><strong>Personality: </strong><br/>Nick is the kind of guy who gets the job done, no matter the cost. Failure is a word that does not exist, and any setback is a challenge waiting to be conquered. He is a shoot first ask questions later kind of guy... but he never goes in without knowing who to shoot first and who to talk to later. He is a loner and is not easy to get along with.<br/><br/><strong>Powers: </strong><br/>Nick Fury like Steve is the pinnacle of human physical perfection. He has a very high intelligence as well as agility, strength, speed, endurance, and reaction time superior to any Olympic athlete who ever competed. The Super-Soldier formula that he had metabolized had enhanced all of his bodily functions to the peak of human efficiency. Most notably, his body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing poisons in his muscles, granting him phenomenal endurance.<br/><br/>Nick Fury like Steve Rogers, is the accumulation of human physical and intellectual perfection,a true super soldier. Unlike Steve, Nick Fury’s abilities are regulated with continuous doses of the original Infinity Formula.... Nick is a seasoned unarmed and armed combat expert, was a heavyweight boxer in the army (during World War II), and holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and a brown belt in Jiu Jitsu.<br/><br/>Nicholas J. Fury is well trained as a paratrooper, Ranger, a demolitions expert, vehicle specialist (including aircraft and seagoing vessels), and soon to be Green Beret. One of the few who has received and wears 9-ply Kevlar (able to withstand ballistic impact up to .45 caliber bullets) and a Beta Cloth (type C), a fire-resistant material whose kindling temperature is 1,700 °F (930 °C), under his favorite overcoat.<br/><br/>Nick is always seen training with his favorite arsenal of weapons which he’s managed to conceal extremely well on his person at any given time; handguns, including a .15 caliber needle gun, a government issue .45 caliber automatic, a captured German Luger in 9mm Parabellum, a modified semi-automatic Walther PPK in 9 mm Parabellum, and the Ingram MAC-10 machine pistol in .45 caliber.<br/><br/><strong>Fears and Weaknesses: </strong><br/>Fears: Becoming a failure to those who believe in him the most. Secretly fears the Serum’s most notable side effect returns and once again speeds up his aging process over night.<br/><br/>Weakness: Bound by the limitations of human ability.<br/><br/><strong>Desires and Aversions: </strong><br/>Nick desires respect, power and influence. Anything less is seen as failure on his part.<br/><br/><strong>Controllable: </strong><br/>Yes
