Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury Jr. (originally known as Marcus Johnson) is a fictional comic book character appearing in books published by Marvel Comics. He is one of an unknown number of sons of Nick Fury, a former Army hero, super-spy, and later director of the intelligence agency S.H.I.E.L.D.
Marcus Johnson was introduced in the mini-series Battle Scars. He bears a strong resemblance to the Ultimate Marvel version of Nick Fury and the Marvel Cinematic Universe incarnation as portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson; the appearance of the Ultimate Universe version was based on that of Samuel L. Jackson before the actor's portrayal in the films.
Nick Fury Jr. appears in the 2013 Secret Avengers series by Nick Spencer and Luke Ross.
In January 2017 Marvel announced that the character would get his first ongoing solo series, named Nick Fury.
While serving in the Middle East, Marcus Johnson is told that his mother Nia Jones has been murdered back in the United States. He returns home and is attacked by the men who killed her, and by Taskmaster, but is saved by Captain America. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrive and take him to a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, after a while Johnson comes to feel he is being held there against his will and escapes. He escapes and is caught by Taskmaster once again. Before he can obtain any information, a man in a mask saves him and escapes. Johnson catches up to the man, who is revealed to be Johnson's father, Nick Fury. Fury and Johnson are captured by a former member of the organization Leviathan named Orion who has Johnson's left eye cut out and confirms that Johnson has the Infinity Formula in his DNA. Fury breaks his restraints and gives Johnson enough time to escape, but is captured and his blood transfused to Orion, so that Orion's youth can be restored. The transfusion drains Fury of his remaining Infinity Formula. Johnson saves Fury with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson and later kills Orion. After convalescing, Johnson is given the Super Soldier uniform that Steve Rogers used to wear. As a new agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Johnson is also informed that his birth name is "Nicholas J Fury Jr.".
