Nick Fury of Samuel L. Jackson has become one of the most important and most recognizable characters in the Marvel cinematographic universe. Make your debut on the screen in the very first post-key scene of the MCU at the end of “Iron Man”, Fury was presented as the director of Shield and the brain behind the Avengers initiative-the plan to bring the most powerful heroes of the earth in a team that could defend the planet against threats that are too powerful for all superheroes of the Earth.
Nick Fury of Jackson, known for having put on a large leather coat and one eye, appeared in 12 MCU films to date, as well as “Agents of Shield” and the Disney + “Secret Invasion” series. As a ultimate and a man of mystery, a large part of Nick Fury’s background was initially wrapped in secret. However, as time has continued and its history was developed through the MCU, it has been revealed that Nick Fury has become the director of the shield that MCU fans know and love.
While “the secret invasion” has enlightened a large part of the past of Fury and his personal life, it was “Captain Marvel” which explored its origins in the shield. This film also revealed the answer to one of the biggest questions that fans had on Fury-how did he lose his eye? However, the explanation of the MCU to this distinctive injury differs radically from the explanation given in the comics of Marvel.
Nick Fury lost her eye saving the screaming commandos in the comics
When he made his comic book debut, Nick Fury was not the director of Shield’s Shield Shield fans to fly high. The character was initially introduced like the SGT. Fury in the comic strip “Sgt. Fury and its howling commandos”, a set of comics in the Second World War. The series saw the beginnings of the howling commandos, which would appear later in the MCU in “Captain America: The First Avenger”.
Throughout Fury to Fury’s appearances, he was seen without his cache. In his first “modern” appearance, in “Fantastic Four” # 21 of 1961, he also missed the patch, but he appeared shortly after in “Strange Tales” # 135 of 1965, which presented Shield to the Marvel universe. The explanation was given in “Sgt. Fury” # 27.
The comic strip revealed that Fury had suffered an injury to the eyes during the Second World War, while pushing a grenade launched on the screaming commandos by an accused German soldier. Fury saved his men, but the explosion hurt his eye, leaving him in need of an operation to save his sight. Not wanting to be out of service for a year as the operation would need, Fury refused, letting the doctor do his best. This restored Fury’s sight for a while, but his eye would end up deteriorating, letting him carry a Yepatch for years later.
The MCU reversed the expectations of the fans around Nick Fury’s egg
The origins of Nick Fury in the Second World War did not play a role in the MCU, so fans of the films probably did not expect to see a similar origin for the egg carried by the version of Samuel L. Jackson de Fury. However, Fury was expected to lose his eye in just as dramatic and heroic circumstances in the MCU. When “Captain Marvel” finally revealed how Fury lost their eyes, the fans were caught by surprise, while the film opted for a more comical explanation.
“Captain Marvel” saw Nick Fury team up with Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) and the Alien Skrulls in a fight against Kree. Along the way, Fury met Goose – apparently an innocent house cat, but in reality, a Flerken. Although they looked like cats, Flerkens was a much more dangerous species, capable of eating whole humans and having particularly dangerous claws. While Fury held the goose, she scratches him in the eyes. Despite Fury’s subsequent claims that his eye improved, Danvers knew that the injury would not heal.
At the end of “Captain Marvel”, it was revealed that Fury never shared the true story of the way he lost his eye, allowing rumors that he had been injured during the battle against the Kree to flourish. He also refused the possibility of replacing the damaged eye with a false, opting rather for his now emblematic eye.
