Nick Fury

Nick Fury is the head of SHIELD, a top-secret peace keeping group designed to “keep the world in one piece”.

Spider-Man first encountered Nick Fury when Peter Parker and J. Jonah Jameson were abducted, when Fury needed Jameson’s help to catch The Chameleon.

They met several times again afterwards, when The Cat was abducted from SHIELD’s prison, and when Electro took control of New York City’s power supply. Electro eventually toppled SHIELD, and Spider-Man and Nick Fury never crossed paths again.

Nick Fury was one of the only other crime fighters that was appreciative of Spider-Man’s efforts.

Nick Fury is the head of SHIELD, a top-secret peace keeping group designed to "keep the world in one piece". Fury often called upon both Tony Stark and Iron Man to help him out when he couldn’t, either by using their resources and vast amounts of technologies, or when SHIELD was unable to perform task’s themselves, such as investigating foreign affairs.

Although Fury and Iron Man respected each other a great deal, they didn’t always get along, and teamed up just as often as they fought each other. One such instance was when Walter Stark returned, long presumed dead. They were played against each other by AIM, and later teamed up to fight the organization they both despised. They were both also aware of Justin Hammer’s criminal activities but despite numerous attempts, neither of them was able to prove it.
