489 - A World Gone Wrong - 2012

Fri, 25 May 2012 08:43:59 GMT

Nicholas Joseph Fury, born in Clinton, New York City, New York, in 1911. He has seen the world change, and seen the darkness grow, and grow, and grow.

The last time things made sense, really, was during the second world war. His Commandos saw too much action and it changed them all. Some of them went hard, the rest of them went harder. The only bright spots, in as much as a war has them, were the times that they worked with Captain America. It gave the Howlers something to fight for that was much more immediate than the "mom and apple pie" of the official spiel. The Captain and Bucky were good, it made the Howlers feel like they were on the right side.

After he lost his eye, Fury was given the Infinity Serum, which retarded his ageing. Initially he had to take the serum every month.

SHIELD was started in the late 50's, under Fury's watchful eye. Most of the surviving Howlers had places in it and they worked like hell to keep the Cold War from boiling over into another hot war. Vietnam strained the original Howlers, now ageing, and caused the organization to grow larger and more unwieldy. As Howlers retired or died fighting Hydra, Fury found himself being forced to delegate more and more to people he did not fully trust...and should not have fully trusted.

By the 80's Fury was the last of the Howlers involved in SHIELD and those untrustworthy people had worked together to make him appear obsolete. Seeing it happen, but not being able to stop it, Fury began a large-scale "office supply" stealing job and established a base underneath Priest Point Park in Olympia, Washington. He recruited people he could trust, stole copies of technology (or, in some cases) the originals, and began working against the organization he had created and the corruption that had overtaken it.

After Reed Richards maimed Victor von Doom, Fury recruited the young genius and promised to help him seek a cure for his maimed body. With von Doom's help he now only has to take the Infinity Serum annually.

Who is Anti-Citizen Four?
In addition to the original Anti-Citizens a new suit of armor has shown up in opposition to order, sanity, and the stability of the nation.

Anti-Citizen Four has armor of a dark green and black, with a fully hidden face that makes him unidentifiable. Any person or persons with information on Anti-Citizen Four should contact the President's special Anti-Citizen Capture Line at 555-555-5655.

Anti-Citizens Speak Out!
This reporter received the following letter, supposedly from the Anti-Citizens!

Sir,
We do not stand against order, sanity, and stability, rather we stand for those who cannot stand for themselves. The President For Life has muddied the original goals and ideals of this great nation which we love so much. For the weak, for the lost, for those who are targets of people who should protect them; there we shall be.
Sincerely,
Captain America, Sir Nicholas Fury, the Revolutionary, and Freeman.
