Nicholas Joseph Fury (Earth-2856)

"I've killed... More times than I can count. I've burned cities. Destabilized nations. Dethroned dictators. And I did it without any of them even knowing my name. That's what it means to be the man on the wall. To be the invisible monster who keeps the other monsters at bay."
