So there's this new character Marcus Johnson coming into 616 who is basically just Ultimate Fury, or I guess more specifically, movie Fury. Obviously this is to capitalise on Avengers Assemble and look at a way of bringing in SLJ Fury without invalidating the old one or doing the impossible (i.e. turning 616 Fury black).
I just wondered how you guys felt about this, if it's just a cheap cash-in on the movie's popularity or if it's an affront to the EXISTING Nick Fury in the Ultimate comics and Marvel should've just left things as they were and directed movie fans to Ultimate books?

I don't like it. Marvel is taking everything that's unique to the Ultimate Universe and putting it in the Main Universe.
It seems they are even going to change his appearance to look exactly like Ultimate Nick Fury.

Between this and 616 hawkeye now looking exactly like Ultimate Hawkeye, I'm pretty pissed.
I mean, instead of pushing the Ultimate universe MORE as a result of the movie characters basically being Ultimate Fury and Clint, instead, they are just hammering them into 616 and damn the rest.
It worries me because, if they keep doing this, then what is the point of having an Ultimate universe if everything successful is just going to be copied over to 616 anyway?"Predictable? If there were any more plot twists going on, we'd need M. Night Shyamalan to randomly appear at the end saying 'What a twist' before vanishing". - Kurolegacy on Ult X-Men #8.

I thought that the movie-verse had it's own line of comics separate from 616? I like both Fury's I think that if they replace 616 Fury with Marcus it'll be kind of annoying.
1) Find a bad guy
2) Be Wolverine
Ultimate Wolverine is coming back, sort of!

Why is Nick Fury wearing Steve Rodger's Top Cop uniform?

That's Marcus? How'd his appearance change so drasically because shaving your head and growing facial hair does not make you look like Samuel L. Jackson. I was thinking that was something out of the Avengers movie tie-in comics. Originally Posted by Chaos_Alfa
