Is Nick Fury actually a cool badass in the comics?
I mean I'm assuming he's not basically an 'old venerable wise guy' cliche character and basically useless like he seems to be in the marvel movies, right?

He's badass. Well at least White Fury is. But he's a jerk and son of a bitch. Never really read anything badass with Sam Jackson Fury but I assume he is too. I actually prefer Black Fury over White Fury.
>>67902948
He's WAYYYYYYYYYYYY cooler in the comics
I dn why they more or less reduced him to a side show 'round up da gang lel' guy but, oh well.
White Fury all the way.

German Nick Fury is infinitely cooler than Black Nick Fury.
In the comics Nick Fury is an impossible badass who's literally immortal and controls everything behind the scenes.
>>67902948
Yes, till they replace him with a black dude
It was funny watching him get BTFO in Winter Soldier
The marvel movies made the same mistake as the prequels: you cast Sam Jackson and the character's default setting is badass.
But then he does nothing badass at all.
But he's not.

The white Fury is pretty cool (I only know him from the 70's and 80's comics) I don't know what's being made of him nowadays since everybody in the marvel universe is dead, I think.
Nick Fury is an awesome character. His Strange Tales Agent of Shield stories written by Jim Steranko are some of my favorites in the entire world of comics. Strange Tales was a book that was a double feature of a Nick Fury and Doctor Strange story, both suave, pragmatic Odyssean types who often fiund themselves trapped in extra dimensional landscapes where they would have to outwit the entities that dwelled there and escape, with Odysseus in the cave of Polyphemus.
Nick Fury was always one of the more complex characters in the marvel universe, never really conforming to any mold. He was a WWII commando in the 40's fighting the Axis Powers and Hydra, who was promoted as a James Bknd style secret agent in the 50's and 60's to continue his fight against megalomaniac super villains with armies of henchmen, evil lairs and visions of world domination. Nick Fury came know the inner workings of how these types think, and when he became the Director of Shield, he operated with the exact same methodology as one of these mastermind supervillain types in assembling his army of henchmen and his lair filled with superweapons. He built Shield from ex villains, assassins and mercenaries that he met throughout his life.

This. He's also 100x smarter, unlike Black Fury.

Classic Fury is cool as ice.

Ultimate Nick Fury wasn't that bad. He was certainly cooler than modern black Fury.
>>67903749
yea you holster that gun there
you holster it good
>>67903849
He holstered that ass

Jim Steranko's Nick Fury, at least in my opinion, is the fullest realization of what a comic book hero should be. His stories brought out the full potential of the insane universe of Marvel, spanning across extra dimensional time and space, with Fury being the most versatile kind of pulp hero that somehow could fit in perfectly in any setting and make it work.
You'll never see comics made quite like this one anymore. Even it's art is exceptionally good.
>>67903848
He was the ultimate asshole in an universe of complete douchebags.
>>67903987
There's seriously few things cooler than Cosmic Nick Fury. That kind of art is incredible
Ultimate Fury was an asshole but he was based.
>>67903987
And then secret wars shows up and kills the marvel universe, reducing comics to mere marketing tools.
fuck marvel. its dead now.
>modern /tv/
At least Winter Soldier is as cool as he is in the comics
