Biography
Rick Stoner
At some point, Rick Stoner earned the Congressional Medal of Honor. Army Intelligence sent Colonel Rick Stoner to interrogate Sgt. Nick Fury regarding a confrontation with Baron Wolfgang von Strucker in Cherbeaux France, in which Fury had convinced Strucker to fight him one-on-one rather than engage in a full battle between the Howling Commandos and Strucker's Nazi soldiers, which could cost more lives. Stoner arrived at the London base of the First Strike Squad, aka the Howling Commandos, and Captain "Happy" Sam Sawyer had him wait in his office until Fury arrived. (Fury v1 #1)
Despite warnings of potentially being in big trouble, Fury casually walked into Sawyer's office, asking if this was going to take long, because he wanted to listen to a ball game. Irritated by the lack of respect, Stoner reminded Fury that it was customary to salute a superior officer. Fury said he didn't feel like lifting his arm, and Stoner moved on, introducing himself and insisting on receiving answers. When Fury sat down, put his feet on Sawyer's desk, and lit a cigar, Stoner demanded he extinguish it. Fury told Stoner to give him a break as he had just gotten back from a mission, but Stoner swatted the cigar from his mouth and told the 'punk' not to speak back to him. Stoner then accused Fury of gambling with the lives of the town to satisfy his personal vendetta against Strucker. Despite Fury's denial of this, Stoner accused Fury of never going by the book and of being a loose cannon with a flagrant disregard for rules, disrespect for authority, and a total lack of discipline. When Stoner criticized the Howling Commandos as a pathetic collection of misfits and losers, Fury lost his temper and punched out Stoner. (Fury v1 #1)
Fury was thrown in the stockade for striking a superior officer, but President Franklin D. Roosevelt secured Fury's release. Stoner became part of the Central Intelligence Agency sometime after its founding in 1947. (Fury v1 #1)
Stoner was sent to meet with the President of the United States (POTUS) and the Canadian Prime Minister in the Canadian capitol for a joint effort to recover the Weapon Alpha armor, which had been stolen from Am/Can which was a joint US/Canadian research facility located in Canada targeted by Hydra. (Fury v1 #1)
Former C.I.A. agent and U.S. Army Colonel Rick Stoner was appointed as the espionage agency's first public Executive Director. (Secret Warriors v1 #1)
