This version of Nick Fury is the reason Samuel Jackson is in the MCU. Introduced in Ultimate Marvel Team Up #5 (2001) by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Allred, Nick Fury was a WWII soldier that got captured and sent to be a test subject for Project: Rebirth. He escaped and was later assigned to the Weapon X project. When transporting Wolverine, the mutant would attack everyone leaving Nick the only one left without his eye. He was later made Director of SHIELD, where he tried to resurrect the Super-Soldier program, with the help of Bruce Banner.

Nick would assemble the Ultimate (the Ultimate universe version of the Avengers) to help battle the Chitauri. He would also keep a close eye on Spider-man. Like the prime version of Nick, he would not be afraid to use any method to protect the US including creating many teams, like the Avengers. He would even change his skin color at one point (resembling his prime version) for a mission.

This version of Nick has become a fan favorite since his introduction. It was this version that inspired the MCU version. Fun Fact, Samuel Jackson didn’t know that they were making a character based on him until the comic came out. After contacting Marvel, he gave his approval for this, and even arranged for him to be Nick Fury if they ever made a live action version of him. The character would receive a figure as part of a 2-pack with Ultimate WWII Captain America.
