Do you prefer the Black or White Nick Fury?

[Farael the Fallen]

Ever since Samuel L. Jackson was cast as Nick Fury and really ever since Marvel comics made Nick Fury Black in their Ultimate comic book world, I have wondered which one would win in a fight. it's clear to me that the Black Nick Fury is here to stay. there should be a complete Marvel comics reboot. it's like picking Samuel L. Jackson or David Hasselhoff. Sam wins ever time.

My only contact with white Nick was Punisher where he was the alternate character. He chewed his cigar and kicked ass.

My only contact with black Nick is Marvel Avengers Alliance where he trades quips with Iron Man and orders dozen of super heroes around.

For me they are quite evenly matched in cool factor :P

Samnickuel L Jackfuryson is my favorite.

Personally I always thought white Nick's character design was kinda...eh. I dunno, never liked it much.

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

Well, I don't know about white vs. black (what about a green Nick Fury? Vive le Galt!), but the Strange Tales issues done by Steranko were pretty psychedelic!

Spoiler:

Down with SHIELD!

Vive le Galt!

Blasphemy!

There is no contest - Samuel L. Ehm-Effing Jackson version of Nick Fury.

All Day. Er'ry Day.

Though I secretly picture him channeling Terry Cruz Old Spice Mode at random.

Call me crazy but I kinda liked Hasslehoff's Fury. I could care less if fury is black, white, Asian, or Indian as long as fury is bad ass. Personally, I have had enough Samuel L Jackson to last a life time.

Samuel Jackson's Fury is cool, but I'm going to miss the WWII older than dirt and tougher than nails Nick. He's been everywhere, done everything and survived it all just by being smarter and tougher. He's got history.

The new one? Sure he looks good and he's bad ass himself, but there's no depth there yet.

[Shadowborn]

I think they could have kept the background of the old around-since-WWII Nick Fury with Jackson's Fury with a little bit of tweaking on the storyline. Why not have a black guy injected with a precursor to the super serum? After all, if they're willing to submit people of color to the Tuskeegee Experiment, why not to an experimental super soldier program?

[magnuskn]

White Nick Fury, of course. The other is the cool-ified knock-off and was designed by Mark Millar. Ugh.

[yellowdingo]

There is only one thing I want to see with any Nick Fury: Nick Fury vs S.H.I.E.L.D. Samuel L. Jackson would take it to an awesome level.

[Matthew Morris]

I'm biased towards 616 Nick Fury, given that that's 'my' Nick Fury. I've read some of the Ultimates stuff, and he seems ok. Of course in Avengers:EMH we had hybrid Fury who was a mix of both.

I am sad to see 'Nick Fury jr.' in the 616 taking over for his old man though.

[magnuskn]

Same here.

David Hasselehoff? Was this like... an episode of Spongebob Squarepants?

[thejeff]

OTOH, they've had to stretch Fury far enough from being the normal guy/soldier/secret agent that he's pretty much super powered now, just to justify him not aging all these decades.

I did like him better when he was just the bad ass normal agent.

Maybe he does need a change.

Though the new guy's all Infinity Formula'd up too.

I think I read some reboot of some comics involving Captain America and others back in the 90's or early 2000's and the guy that was the head of Shield looked like Samuel L Jackson. I was told by friends that He was the model for the character. I never liked the Reboot and stopped reading after a few issues.

I did read Nick Fury agent of SHIELD for a bit but it never caught my interest. I was into the hero comics and Nick Fury was never my kind of comic.

The Jackson version in the comics strikes a more imposing figure to me.
