Background[]
Nick Fury is an adventurous boy who frequently performs stunts with a friend. This catches the attention of a lieutenant, who enlists them for a special mission. Both later join the Army, where Fury undergoes training. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, his friend is killed, causing Fury to swear vengeance against the Axis. After World War II, he begins working for the CIA as an agent. There, he is allied to various heroes, eventually leading him to become the director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agency.
"Mission Marvel"[]
At the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Fury informs Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and Spider-Man about the origin of the beam they were zapped by earlier, which drained their powers. Revealing the location to be Danville, he shows images of the ray passing by a station satellite. Spider-Man wonders if it pertains to S.H.I.E.L.D., but Fury presents the actual owners, Phineas and Ferb.
At the O.W.C.A. headquarters, Major Monogram introduces Fury to Perry, explaining that, due to the gravity of the situation, the director will be the one commanding the agent. Fury asks if the agent is already there, and Monogram clarifies that the platypus is the spy. In disbelief, the director wonders if Perry has powers or if he is a robot. Noticing the major's eyepatch, Fury points it out, prompting Carl to make fun of his boss. Ignoring them, the director tells Perry about the current circumstances, instructing the agent to monitor the heroes. He then turns to Monogram, but is confused upon seeing the major with two eyepatches.
While Perry is flying over the Tri-State Area, Fury notifies him of new intel related to the villains' whereabouts, confirming that they are in an oddly-shaped building. Now sporting a beard, Monogram adds to the director's orders, to Fury's annoyance. Following the villains' detainment, Fury thanks the kids for helping the heroes and fighting alongside them, with a salute as a sign of gratitude. As the heroes wave goodbye to the gang, they and Fury leave on the Quinjet.
