Early life[]
Fury founded the organization S.H.I.E.L.D. to secure the world from villainy threats.[1] Ten years prior to the beginning of the series, Fury offered Franklin Hall to join S.H.I.E.L.D. to recreate the Super Soldier Serum which he accepted. The project failed and the scientist gained powers of gravikinesis, after which Fury had Franklin locked up in the Raft.[2]
Later, Nick Fury arrived at the Vault to interrogate Baron Strucker about HYDRA's attack on the United Nations. The interrogation is interrupted when the Grim Reaper infiltrates the prison in a plot to free Baron Strucker. After Grim Reaper pinned down Nick Fury, Baron Strucker is freed by Grim Reaper who gives Baron Strucker his Satan Claw. Both Baron Strucker and Grim Reaper make it to one of the hovercars and take off. Nick Fury ends up throwing Baron Strucker back onto the landing pad where the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents easily subdued him and take Baron Strucker back to his cell.
The Breakout[]
When the Big House had a black out and the supervillains escaped from their cells. The Big House expanded itself from the Pym Particles, causing destruction to the Helicarrier. Fury ordered his men to stabilize the situation. After the report of Maria Hill, he was worried what has happened at the fourth prison the Raft. He along with other agents went on top of the Raft, when they were preparing to take on supervillains, the Raft was pulled up in the sky shocking Fury. The Raft was stuck in the sky, Fury was then then dragged in to the sky where he noticed that Graviton is the cause of it.[2]
Fury wondered what Graviton was planning, which he replied that he wanted revenge. Fury was saved by Thor and Wasp on the ground. He kept the secret of how Franklin Hall received gravity powers to Ant-Man and Wasp. He switched himself with a life model decoy and used it to deceive Graviton, which he crushed the robot while Fury was hiding behind some containers.[3]
After Graviton was defeated by Iron Man, Thor, Wasp, Ant-Man, and Hulk, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents surrounded them to secure the Hulk. Fury stopped them from taking the Hulk and stated that 74 supervillains escaped from the prisons. He offered them to join S.H.I.E.L.D. which the five refused and instead created their own team, called the Avengers. After that Maria Hill reported to him that Graviton was not the cause of the breakouts, which made Fury wonder who really did it.[3]
Some time later, Nick Fury disappeared for unknown reasons and did not leave a message, where Maria Hill was now acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He explained that the alien was discovered after Hawkeye invaded HYDRA Island along with Mockingbird who went after Viper and discovered that it was shapeshifting alien and brought in secret to Nick Fury. He realized at that point he could not trust anyone. Tony wondered how they knew it is a Skrull, which Fury showed a communication device which he tracked coming from the Helicarrier and in the Avengers, which shocked Tony.[4]
Fury told Tony that he accused Hawkeye of being a Skrull, since he was left alive by the help of Viper. He eventually convinced Tony of this infiltration by the Skrulls and he let him leave his secret hideout.[4]
He watched through along with Quake on a roof, when Tony accused Hawkeye of being a Skrull and left the Avengers. He told Quake, that they wait until the Skrull makes the wrong move and would reveal himself soon.[4]
