Nick Fury holds the MCU together, but he would be nothing without his superhero allies and the people in his corner.
Since 2008, Nick Fury has been the glue that holds the Marvel Cinematic Universe together. First appearing in the post-credits scene in Iron Man, Fury introduced the Avenger Initiative which would ultimately lead to the formation of the Avengers. But he didn’t originate on the silver screen. Nick Fury has a long and distinguished history in Marvel Comics as well.
Along the way, Nick Fury has worked with some of Marvel’s best characters to save the world time and time again. Fury has allied himself with some of the strongest superheroes and some of the smartest Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. But no matter who he’s working with, he always finds a way to save the day. 10 Thor
When it comes to brute strength and magical powers, Thor may be Nick Fury’s strongest ally. The God of Thunder has lived for thousands of years, and he killed Thanos.
While the Fury and Thor may have similar goals that lead to an alliance, they are often at odds with each other. The two have clashed over the interference of Asgardians on Earth, particularly Loki. Fury is also frustrated with Thor because of his inability to count on Asgardian resources while Thor is part of the Avengers. But when Thor is on his side, Fury has a powerful ally. 9 Spider-Man
In the MCU, Spider-Man is essentially Iron Man’s protégé, which encourages Fury to send Talos to recruit Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Spider-Man is agile and durable with superhuman strength, making him invaluable in a fight.
Spider-Man’s only problem as a superhero is his immaturity. Peter Parker is reluctant to get involved in other plans after the fights with Thanos. Understandably, the teenager wants to be a teenager, which doesn’t always mean being reliable. 8 Hawkeye
Despite having no superpowers and not being a super assassin, Hawkeye is one of the most valuable members of the Avengers Initiative. He’s very good with a bow and arrow, but he is also incredibly dependable. Fury counted on Hawkeye to take out Black Widow, and then trusted Hawkeye’s decision to save her, giving Fury another valuable ally.
