Wolverine
Formerly Weapon X for his native Canada,
the seemingly immortal mutant Logan goes by the codename Wolverine when
serving as point man for the X-Men or Patch when down in Madripoor. Fury
and Wolverine share a unique bond, mostly stemming from the fact that
both men are pure-blooded assholes and among the dying breed of unrepentant
smokers and hard drinkers left in this world.
Logan's run-ins with Fury
date back to just after WWII in the days of Cold War espionage, however
much of this remains undocumented or classified, and in some occasions
Logan was not even aware of Fury's identity.
Even
after Logan joined the X-Men and Fury went on to head up SHIELD, both
readily returned to each other's side when needed. Logan teamed up
with SHIELD after Fury was devastated by the massacre of 1,500 agents
and Fury has lent a hand when possible in helping Wolverine discover
his past and his connection with HYDRA. The pair have also faced the
return threat of Scorpio, in the guise of Fury's son Mikel Fury, twice.

Logan's
renegade lifestyle and affiliation with the X-Men have more often
then not placed them on opposing sides. When SHIELD placed an international
criminal and pedophile under protective custody that Wolverine
sought to kill, Nick Fury was forced to take on the mutant on one-on-one
combat. |
Despite
their differences, both men count each other as allies when necessary
and further both men share the experience of living past
their years
and seeing too much warfare. During the MYS-Tech crisis, Wolverine
was one of two allies whom Fury left a message with in case something
happened
to him, clearly a sign of the trust the two men share. While
temporarily resigned from the directorship, Fury found rogue elements
in SHIELD with their sights set on Wolverine and did his best to stop
them.
More
recently, the brainwashing of Wolverine by the assassin cult known
as The Hand placed Fury in the difficult position of having
to stop Wolverine at all costs before the berserker mutant killed
key members of the super-hero community. Wolverine was at last
apprehended and de-programmed by a radical new procedure aboard
the helicarrier. Breaking the brainwashing, Wolverine joined SHIELD
in an all-out war on the Hand and their HYDRA allies. |
