'1602' - Sir Nicholas Fury
Earth 311-

Appearances : 1602 #1-8

The head of Queen Elizabeth's intelligence service, this version of Fury existed on an alternate Earth created when Captain America was cast through a time portal from Earth 460 by the Purple Man (who had become President) and left for dead in the past of Earth 616. This act caused an anomalous jump starting of the Marvel Universe in the 15th century. Following the assassination of his Queen, Fury eventually landed in the New World following his invasion of Latveria to free his friend Sir Reed Richards. Fury played a crucial role in trying to return history to its normal path by bringing Steve Rogers back to the future, possibly at the cost of his own life.
