    While I'm all for making the Marvel Universe more diverse, it irritates me slightly that they have to black up existing characters rather than just make compelling new ones that they don't give up on.

    Blah, blah, Ultimate Universe yadda yadda. I'd just prefer more of a 616 take.

    Isn't this pretty much the only example of the Marvel Universe recreating a character with a new ethnicity?

    And personally, I think the fact that Ultimate Nick Fury was given a new background sort of demanded that changes be made to his appearance in order to indicate that he wasn't a WWII vet, but rather a more modern kind of spy.

    I guess I was kind of thinking about when the Kingpin was black in Daredevil, but that movie was kind of bad anyway.

    Okay, so that's two guys. But Nick Fury and the Kingpin are pretty big! (pun not intended on Kingpin harharhar)

    If I came off as racist, I didn't mean to.

    Edit: To clarify, the core of my argument is more that I wish, since it seems like (to me) a fair bit of the stuff they use in the movies are 616-ish (origins and what not) I wish there characters retained it as well.

    Oh yeah, I forgot because they stopped drawing her as Asian after a while.

    By the way, Michael Clarke Duncan is the only man alive who could have played Kingpin. Also, Daredevil's supposed to be pretty good if you watch the Director's Cut.

    The Avengers movie is rumored to be directly based on Ultimate vol 1, from what I recall. Because it's both a huge seller, and a good jumping-on point for the uninitiated.

    Just be glad Hasselhoff's Nick Fury series never made it beyond the pilot.

    Ultimate Nick Fury is a WWII vet. The only difference is that while 616 Fury was fighting alongside Cap, Ult. Fury was somewhat scum who was turned into a guinea pig for the super-soldier serum.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about Origins.

    Still, I'd say the more significant difference between 616 and Ultimate is that the former was fighting on the front lines and serving as one of the military's golden boy whereas Ultimate Fury was the military's dirty secret.

    He could spend the entire movie being intolerant towards people with disabilities only to have his opinions changed by a young Hmong boy named Daredevil.

    Right. But mine is more of a commentary on art style.

    Though that would be funny, since Natalia has a version herself, for Cap to end up becoming a kid toucher.

    While I stumbled across him in some older comics through the years, the main vision that comes to mind when I think of Nick Fury is either that shown in the Ultimate Universe or brief appearances in Astonishing X-Men. I'd accept either version, but was happy with Sam Jackson showing up in Iron Man / The Hulk, so keeping him around just makes sense.

    Of course, I also think it'd be funny to have David Hasslehoff show up for one of them, only to peel off his face Mission Impossible style, revealing Jackson underneath.
