Within the Marvel Universe, Nick Fury is the main interlinking characters. He used to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and coordinated the Avengers Initiative. Nick is a seasoned combat expert, master strategist, trained to use US military firearms, and an astute judge of character. This is why he trusts only very few people. Although sometimes using questionable tactics, he will always do what is right. Nick Fury can be recognized by his cosmetic eye patch, which he wears because he has a 95% vision loss in his injured left eye. Nick Fury decided to take a vacation after all his efforts to maintain world peace.
