I disagree. Nick FURY, and Samuel L. Jackson is usually always pretty pissed off.

i don’t think this one counts
considering that like ten yrs
ago marvel payed jackson
for the rights to re-design
the fury character after his
own image.

This is an alternate version of Nick Fury from a parallel universe of sorts in the Marvel Universe

As it’s been said before, when Marvel remade Nick Fury for the Ultimate universe (Ultimate Spiderman, Ultimate Ironman, re-do’s of all their characters) they made him look like Nick Fury, they even got Sammie’s permission.

Comic Book heroes changing race, and even gender, are fairly commonplace. Just look at all the black and female Green Lanterns.

nick fury from the ultimate averngers series was actually based on samuel l. jackson.

are they making an ultimates movie? who knows? they’ve only put out movies on most of the key members already. all we’re missing is ant man, captain america, and thor.

maybe this is cause i’ve got a lot of comic book geeks for friends, but you didn’t know that the cartoonist of the marvel ultimates universe contacted Sam Jackson for that very purpose, of using his image as the new Nick Fury? that was part of the press release for the ultimates before it was even published.

AND that’s why jackson played him in the Ironman movie

actually yes, the ORIGINAL nick fury was white. however in the early 90’s they “rebooted” his look, modeling it after Samuel L. Jackson. so yes, it is a given that he looks like fury and was chosen to play him in the upcoming avengers movies.

By: Atonementvector

Atonementvector — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 08:09:04 +0000

Nick Fury was modeled after Sammy J! That’s why in one of the nw movies thy begged Sammy to play Nick. He said yes,.

Miss marie, Stan Lee doesn’t draw comics, he’s a writer for comic books. And he’s never, to my knowledge, worked on Avengers.

Stan Lee has admitted he started drawing Nick Fury based on SLJ. That’s why they cast him in the new Avengers movie.

Thank you SOMEONE gets it!!!
All of the black nick fury’s in the comic books are based on Sam. Like dj said, marvel payed him and everything. That’s why he is nick fury in the upcoming nick fury movie and iron man 2.

@gdw:

It wouldn’t matter whether he thought of this before or after Iron Man. Ultimate Nick Fury was created with Samuel L. Jackson in mind.

By: seraphrevan

seraphrevan — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:03:00 +0000

You’ve all got it backwards! Samuel L. Jackson looks like Nick Fury, not the other way around! SLJ saw an extremely early concept of Nick Fury as a child, and decided to gradually mold his own appearance into that of his childhood hero’s: Nick Fury.

Dude, that comic is modelled on Sam-yoo-Ell.

yes the original nick fury WAS white
but they actually based the black nick fury off of Samuel L Jackson
hense why he is playing Nick Fury in the upcoming movie….

By: dj

dj — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:50:49 +0000

thats because this nick fury WAS based on sam l!! marvel even paid him likeness rights!

What the hell’s wrong with you; Norman Osborn looks like an orangutan.
But you are right, these pics are very ludicrous and they might as well put
“the governor of california looks like the Terminator.”

actually, they based the ultimate universe nick fury after samuel l jackson’s portrayal of shaft so yeah. it is pretty obvious

I’m pretty much waiting for someone to come out with “Norman Osborn totally looks like Tommy Lee Jones” now. I mean seriously, it’s not really worth even posting these pics when its clearly a take off. They might as well post “Christian Bale totally looks like Bruce Wayne” or “Madonna totally looks like a skanky whore”.

Agreed! If we hadn’t already seen him as Nick Fury, it might have been funny.

He’s based on the Ultimates version of Nick Fury, who was purposefully made to look like Samuel L. Jackson. They even talk about it in the comic. Fail.

By: Dave

Dave — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:08:37 +0000

Actually, years ago when the Ultimate universe started, Marvel paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the rights to use Samuel L. Jackson’s image as their Ultimate Nick Fury. Which is why they’ve got him playing him in the movie.

So in a way, this one’s really as obvious as the Superman/Clark Kent one.

He looks like Nick Fury because the artists asked if they could base Ultimate Nick Fury on Jackson…..Wikipedia it

By: Spidey

Spidey — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:58:29 +0000

So wait, if I’m reading all of these comments correctly…Nick Fury was purposley drawn to look like SLJ? Is that correct? There should probably be another 30-40 posts repeating that so I don’t forget.

right, and apparently people can’t read the fine print under the photo where it explains all that.

By: Mike

durr, you missed the sub title on the photo “ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE”

ULTIMATE Nick Fury.

Not the same as the regular Nick Fury.

As others have said, a while back they did a remake of the marvel universe where everything was “ultimate”. Ultimate Fury was black and was based on SLJ. However before they could do so they had to get the OK from SLJ himself. SLF agreed on one term, that if they ever made a movie, SLJ would get to play Fury.

Or that’s what i’m told

According to the ever-reliable Wikipedia, Ultimate Nick Fury was modeled after Samuel L. Jackson, actually.

Sam Jackson had to give permission to Marvel Comics to use his likeness for Nick Fury, so of course they look alike, THEY IZ SUPPOSD T2O
