nick fury
Colonel Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury Sr. is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer/artist Jack Kirby and writer Stan Lee, he first appeared in Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos #1 (May 1963).
He originally appeared as an older white man with two-tone black and white hair, in the Prime Marvel universe. In the Ultimate Marvel universe, he became an older bald black man modeled after Samuel L. Jackson; his estate initially planned to sue Marvel for this since they didn't get permission to use his likeness, before a deal was made for Jackson himself portray Fury in the then-upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Fury's popularity has skyrocketed since then, primarily associated with Jackson. As a result, his original white appearance has all but disappeared from Marvel adaptations, and in the comics he was succeeded by his black bastard son Nick Fury Jr.
Both appearances apply for this tag.
