Actual, literal deities
And they aren't the only ones
```That's how you do representation in comics```
@King Canuck I agree. While one could argue that it feels as though it wasn't part of the original character and just added later, their identity hasn't taken the focus away from an intriguing story.
fantastic 4 sucked
it flopped
But there's the thing, HECK
according to various sources it was never "decided on later"
Jack Kirby always said Thing was Jewish
@!GPT Yes, yes it did. But it doesn't make Chicklis grim any less awesome
It was simply an aspect of the character, one that didn't need to be brought up because what purpose
which is ALSO how you do it
Like, Steve Rogers talking about beleiving in the christian God?
Yeah, that fits with who he is.
Iron Man being Athiest? Sure, he can bring that up if the situation gets all godly
But would it make sense for Nick Fury? what about Man-Thing?
Hell, the character that I think has the most interesting relationship with religion in Marvel is Daredevil
Why did they raceswap Fury again?
Didn't he used to be Marvel's version of Snake?
They raceswapped Nick Fury? @CRASHjester
He used to be white
david hasslehoff was the og nick fury
Yeah, the recent comics completely Sam Jacksoned him
Not saying I don't like Sam Jackson's Fury, but still why?
race quota
otherwise the entire avengers be all white
That's racist XD
Well
here's the TL;DR
They were doing Ultimate Marvel as another universe
a more "grit and realism" take on the marvel universe
so they had the freedom to fuck around
they decided they wanted a new Fury, and asked Sam Jackson if they could use his likeness
Jackson said sure as long as he gets to play fury in the movies
@CRASHjester Because when they did the Ultimate brand, they wanted Sam Jackson..because Sam Jackson was "badass"
He still kinda is...
I just wish he didn't play Mace Windu
and now that the ultimate universe finally ended, that fury has moved to the new one. Don't worry, white fury is still there.
Jackson fury is Nick Fury Jr.
qctually
I had it backward
```Samuel L. Jackson originally didn't give consent for Marvel Comics to base the appearance of Nick Fury after him. After contacting Marvel about this issue, they offered Jackson an opportunity to play Nick Fury in their planned movies, which led to his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[40]```
