Publication history[edit]
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 of Fury as
portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, whose likeness inspired the Ultimate
Marvel version of Nick Fury.
As
Nick Fury Jr, he appears in the new 2013 Secret Avengers series
by Nick Spencer and Luke Ross.
Fictional character biography[edit]
While
serving in the Middle East, Marcus Johnson received word that his mother Nia
Jones had been murdered back in the United States. He returned home and
investigated the crime scene, finding shell casings used by Russians.
While leaving his mother's home, he was attacked by the Russian hitmen who
killed his mom. Marcus defeated them and began to question one before being
shot with a bow and arrow. He turned around to
see Taskmaster standing before him.
While

While leaving his mother's home, he was attacked by the Russian hitmen who killed
his mom. Marcus defeated them and began to question one before being shot with
a bow and arrow. He turned around to see Taskmaster standing before
him. Taskmaster was about to kill him, but Captain America arrived in
time to save Marcus Johnson at the last moment. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents
arrived to try to bring Marcus Johnson to safety. Marcus went off
with Quake to a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility where he was visited by Captain
America in the infirmary. Marcus Johnson continued to question why everyone was
after him and why his mother was killed yet was not given any answers. Soon,
Marcus began to feel as if he was being held there against his will and broke
out.
Marcus
Johnson contacted an old Ranger friend for help and informed him of his current
situation. They planned to find Taskmaster and attempt to get some information.
While searching for Taskmaster, Marcus was attacked by Deadpool who
was also after Marcus. As they fought, Taskmaster arrived and ran Deadpool
through with his sword. Marcus Johnson took on Taskmaster and this time gained
the upper hand. At that time, the Serpent Squad arrived also looking
for Marcus Johnson. Marcus Johnson took them on, lasting only about fifteen
seconds before being electrocuted by Rattler. Deadpool returned and due to
the confusion, Marcus was able to escape with Taskmaster as his prisoner. He
interrogated Taskmaster, but before he was able to get an answer, a masked man
stunned Taskmaster, then drained Marcus Johnson' energy for a moment, and
escaped. Marcus Johnson caught up with the man and unmasked him who revealed
himself to be Marcus's father Nick Fury.
While
arguing and eventually coming to blows over the revelation, Nick Fury and
Marcus Johnson were ambushed by more mercenaries and easily captured. In the
custody of Orion, Marcus Johnson had his left eye cut out and tests were run by
Orion's men confirming that Johnson had the Infinity Formula in his
DNA. Nick Fury slipped his restraints and gave Marcus Johnson enough time to
escape (even if accidentally), but Nick Fury was brought in to give Orion a
blood transfusion to restore him to a youthful state. The transfusion drained
Nick Fury of the remaining Infinity Formula in his system. Nick Fury was then
tortured and had his mind probed by Orion's telepath, wherein they found all of
Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets and fail-safes.
Marcus
Johnson saved Nick Fury and with the help of his friend Cheese (the alias
of Phil Coulson). Marcus Johnson was able to get Orion alone and kill him.
He was taken to get his wounds cared for and was also given the Super Soldier
uniform that Steve Rogers once wore. As a new agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marcus
Johnson was also informed by Daisy Johnson that his birth name is Nicholas
Fury, Jr.
Nick
Fury Jr. and Phil Coulson make a cameo appearance in Scarlet
Spider #5, and are part of the framing
sequence in Marvel NOW! Point One.
As
part of the Marvel NOW! event, Nick Fury Jr., Phil Coulson,
and Maria Hill form the S.H.I.E.L.D. version of the Secret Avengers
with Hawkeye and Black Widow. Nick Fury Jr. was involved in the
first mission that involved fighting some al-Qaeda terrorists. Nick
Fury Jr. awaited in the Oval Office for one of the al-Qaeda terrorists to enter
and Nick Fury Jr. kills the terrorist. Nick Fury Jr. then went with the
Secret Avengers to raid Bagalia in order to recruit Taskmaster. While the
Secret Avengers were fighting the Masters of Evil, Nick Fury Jr. manages
to pay off Crossfire to let Taskmaster out of his imprisonment.
When
Maria Hill and Nick Fury Jr. were attending the weapons expo, they meet up with
Senator Robert Ralston where Maria Hill notices that one of the items
at the expo is the Iron Patriot armor.
Powers and abilities[edit]
Initially,
Marcus appeared to have no superhuman qualities but his peak physical
conditioning from his time with the US Army Rangers. Marcus inherited his
father's Infinity Formula at birth, slowing his age and speeding his healing
time.
Reception[edit]
The
reaction by comic book fans to the revelation of Johnson being Fury's son and
his replacing his father has been mixed. Marvel's Vice President of
publishing, Tom Brevoort believes this is a prudent move by Marvel
because the African American incarnation appears in films, animated
shows, and other licensed adaptations. Tom Brevoort,also having the
intelligence of a brick,would think any asshole shit down
at the current,Marvel Comics-House of Shitty
Ideas,is good.Marvel being the house non continuety,unless your a fracking
Marvel Idiot Zombie,is once digging themselves into just ever changing and
confusing crap fictional reality.Marvel also being the House of anything,for
Big Bucks.Put this your Bing and Google Search Engines.
