The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 4

[chamber-music]

They should just put Nick Fury senior in charge again.

[Shockdingo]

Am I the only one who's worried that Classic Fury is being completely phased out? He's awol in the comics and his son is pretty much being treated like him. Outside of comics he no longer exists. In MvC3; It's Ultimate Fury in the ending. Avengers Alliance (the surprisingly fun and awesome Facebook Game) Ultimate Fury, Ironman: Rise of Technovore- Ultimate Fury. Marvel Cartoons (Ult Spidey, WTXM, Avengers)

The last two times I've seen 616 Fury depicted out of the comics were:

-Years ago in the animated footage for a Japanese Pachinko Machine

-Last Weekend when I took a picture with a gorgeous female cosplayer playing femme616!Fury.

I'm fine with Sam Jackson in the flicks, but it's a little saddening for me not to see The Fury I grew up with anymore.

I guess mini rant over. :/

Bendis acknowledged it during his adjectiveless Avengers run. That's about all the acknowledgement of it that I saw, though. I honestly thought it was wierd when Nick put her in charge, despite Secret Warriors being a great book. She's just too young and too new of a character. I like her, but her leading all of SHIELD just felt off in my opinion.

More or less how many mutants exist right now in the marvel universe?

A couple thousand and rising. The phoenix has just restored the X-gene and there are new mutants being born everyday.

I pretty much think that ship has sailed. Fury's still around in The Winter Soldier, but once that series ends, I'm kind of expecting Black Fury to take over everything. Sadly, so much of the public regards Sam Jackson as Nick Fury at this point that it just makes more financial sense to quietly forget that Nick Fury, Sr. ever existed.

Well, Fury himself didn't really feel ready back in the day. He was just a spy and ex-soldier; who knew he'd turn out to be the greatest spymaster of all time (ignoring that one decades-long f***-up of not figuring out that SHIELD was just an arm of Hydra all along (thanks for that, Hickman ))?

I think it was inevitable from SLJ's appearance in IM. His memory will live on in us.

And in the trades.

[Shockdingo]

For the traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaades! *MGS2 theme plays as I salute and sob silently*

[Artistsean]

what was the comic, and issue, where Ultimate Nick Fury and SHIELD tried to recreate the Super Soldier Serum on soldiers and agents and they ALL died? every one of them, except maybe one guy? It was before Ultimatum. I remember looking at it in the store. Fury was telling this one test subject how everyone else had died, he was the only survivor.
I don't know what happened to him, but he might have died later or became a bad guy.

[Specter313]

Sounds like the Colonel, who led the Liberators in the final issues of Ultimates 2.

[Anubis]

No, I know what he's talking about, I just don't remember the name of the issue. I don't know if it was an Annual or what.

It was revealed at the end of Secret Warriors that Fury did know all along. He just allowed it so he could keep closer tabs on Hydra and set up a plan to irreversably cripple the organization for good. As Hydra hasn't been a serious threat in 3-4 years, I'd say he was successful.

[JewishHobbit]

Bendis had them beginning to build up again after Viper claimed all of Norman's 2nd attempt at forging H.A.M.M.E.R. If anyone picks up on that, we'll find out.

[Lobo]

How old is Jubilee in the books? Is she even alive or was she killed off at some point?

Yes she's alive and probably around 19/20 by now. She's currently a vampire and set to be the lead character of the upcoming female X-men team

[Hawkingbird]

Is that out yet?

It's been delayed a month and a half.

[Ipodman]

Who's the red one behind Rogue? Hope? o.O

[JewishHobbit]

Rachel Grey (formerly Rachel Summers)

[Ipodman]

I see. Reminds me of that X-Women thing they did a while back...

I remember - middle of New Avengers (Volume 2), correct? I think the fact that Hydra was crippled was kind of Bendis' primary idea. Viper sought to form a new organization out of the remanents of several others (Hydra, HAMMER, and, to a lesser extent of failure, A.I.M.). It's not a bad idea at all, actually.

Well, I guess that's what I get for dropping the series right after that particular revelation. I'll have to read it all the way through sometime. Glad to know Hickman fixed everything, though.

Anyway, I have a weird question for Iron Man fans: Is his weird complex about being handed things in the movies shown in the comics at all, or was that just RDJ being RDJ?

[Anubis]

Handed things? What?

[TheCorpulent1]

Iron Man had a thing where he didn't like being handed things in the movies. I know there were a couple references to it, but the one I remember most clearly is in Avengers when Coulson tries to hand him the other Avengers' dossiers and Pepper has to take it for him.

Was that comic-inspired or just a weird thing they threw into the movies?
