Biography
Origin
In 1944, he along with the Howling Commandos were dispatched to rendezvous with Captain America and Bucky to intercept the Red Skull who was receiving a weapon. This turned out to be the Amulet of Agamotto that was taken from the Ancient One who had been taken captive alongside his servant Hamir. Fury and his allies charged the Nazi forces where they nearly gained a victory when the Red Skull was transported to another dimension by Dormammu with Captain America and Bucky in pursuit. Nick Fury was then briefed on the nature of the magical threat they faced by the Ancient One who teleported the Howling Commandos to that other dimension to retrieve the Amulet of Agamotto as Dormammu threatened to invade Earth. Once there, they alongside Captain America battled the Red Skull along with his troops that were working for Dormammu where they managed to defeat their foe with the secret assistance of Clea. The Ancient One managed to craft illusions of an assault by Mindless Ones on Dormammu's domain forcing the Faltine to allow his foes to escape. Upon returning the Amulet of Agamotto to the Ancient One the Sorcerer Supreme wiped the heroes memories of the incident to shield them from the threats posed by the mystical world before departing. Fury and the Howling Commandos then proceeded on their next mission against Nazi forces. (Captain America - Nick Fury The Otherworld War v1 #1)
In 1958, he encountered an alien invasion of the world conducted by Tribellian which was where he encountered Woodrow McCord who operated as the Man on the Wall. McCord managed to thwart the aliens but this came at the cost of his life with Fury bearing witness to his demise. Afterwards, he encountered Howard Stark who worked to clear any trace of the invasion before taking Colonel Fury to Woodrow's secret headquarters in the Rocky Mountains. He revealed that for years, McCord had operated as a secret operative that defended Earth from various threats that were hidden from the world but with his death there was a need for someone to replace him as the Man on the Wall. Fury accepted the role and agreed to take over on the condition of wanting to know more about Woodrow's life. Stark agreed to help him but told Fury that McCord had broken all ties from Howard's group but showed him the fallen hero's journal. (Original Sin Annual v1 #1) In 1959, he had decided to move forward with his black-ops Avengers initiative that involved the creation of a team of super-operatives. He and Dum Dum Dugan thus went about recruiting the team members that included Sabretooth, Dominic Fortune, Kraven the Hunter, Namora, Ulysses Bloodstone and Ersnt Sablinova who operated as the Silver Sable.

S.H.I.E.L.D.
Afterwards, he went into hiding abroad at a safe location which was when he was approached by Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine with the two sleeping together. The next day though Fury followed her whilst cloaked and found her meeting some unknown people where she revealed that she was attempting to steal S.H.I.E.L.D. passcodes from him. When she returned, Fury confronted her and shot Valentina whereupon she turned into a Skrull revealing that the real Fontaine had been replaced. Nick Fury then determined that the Skrulls were possibly infiltrating the planet and began to make preparations for a possible invasion. He warned Maria Hill to be suspicious of others and observed Spider-Woman where he asked her to return to S.H.I.E.L.D. to watch over it for possible infiltrators. Fury then remained in hiding as he kept a watch over various people on the planet in order to determine who was real and who was a possible Skrull infiltrator. (Mighty Avengers v1 #12)
