For sixty years, Nick Fury has waged war against every kind of dirtbag this world has to offer.
Against the Axis in World War II, he led his Howling Commandos - leading every charge with his submachine gun spitting hot lead.
Since the end of the war, evil has splintered into a hundred organizations, each as dangerous as the last, but none more deadly than the ninja clan known as the Hand.
Against them, Fury must not only exercise his skills as a soldier, but also stretch his wits to their very limit, because a single misstep will finish him. |

Name: Susan Storm-Richards |
Two siblings have never been so different.
Susan Storm has always been a model of patience and humility, supported by a strength of will that has seen her through a lifetime of trials.
By contrast, Johnny is rash, often foolish, and even a little bit arrogant.
Still, they are bonded close together by their family ties, and have worked hand in hand ever since exposure to cosmic rays granted them both incredible power.
Together with Ben Grim and Reed Richards, they change the Fantastic Four from a simple team into a family. |

Name: Maria Hill |
Maria Hill is a talented spy, a skilled soldier, and a gifted battlefield commander, but as an administrator she leaves much to be desired.
Appointed Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. after the disappearance of Nick Fury, she conflicted constantly with the soldiers under her command, and the Super Heroes with which she was forced to work.
After the Super Hero Civil War, when Iron Man was asked to step into the directorship, she was all too happy to step down.
As Director, Iron Man has applied his business skills to the administration of S.H.I.E.L.D., reinventing the organization as a sleek, responsive military/industrial machine. |

For thousands of years, the Kree and Skrulls have been locked in combat with one another.
The vast resources of entire galaxies are devoted to the conflict, with the suepr science of both races focusing almost entirely on the continuing advancement of military technologies.
Eventually, the science of both races resulted in champions - super powered soldiers whose might is the equal of the most powerful dreadnoughts in either fleet.
The cosmic-powered Captain Marvel leads the Kree armies into battle, while the Skrulls develop the Super Skrull program, which yields phenomenally powerful soldiers with many of the powers bestowed upon Earth's Fantastic Four. |
