Nicholas Fury (Earth-4605)

"Mr. Parker, this world has seen some crazy shit. We've had some pretty damn crazy protectors. With guys like Manhattan some people might question the worth of regular old soldiers. But I think they give people an ideal to strive towards that they know they simply can't meet when being compared to Gods. This world can only ever be safe if Gods and Men stand united, and that is yet to happen. It gives me something to achieve. To answer your question, that is why I fight. Of course I fear death, any sensible man would, but I also see it as one of the highest honors a soldier can achieve when fighting for what he believes in."
