Fictional character biography
Fury is a deadly "cybiote" built by the reality-manipulating psychic Mad Jim Jaspers of the parallel timeline of Earth-238 and programmed to destroy all superhumans but himself. It is immensely powerful, capable of generating lethal energy blasts and of adapting and regenerating its mechanical body.
Fury kills all of Earth-238's superheroes except for Captain UK, who flees to another world after Fury kills her husband Rick. After succeeding in its mission, Fury is deactivated until Captain Britain and his sidekick Jackdaw are sent to Earth-238 by Merlyn. In response, Jaspers reactivates Fury and has it kill Captain Britain and Jackdaw.
Captain Britain is retrieved by Merlyn and resurrected in Otherworld. Fury senses Captain Britain's resurrection and develops the ability of interdimensional travel, intending to hunt him down. Meanwhile, the temporal overseer Mandragon destroys Earth-238 to kill Jaspers; Fury barely escapes to Captain Britain's native world, Earth-616. There, Fury kills several more of Captain Britain's allies, growing ever more powerful as it did so. Tracking Captain Britain and disabling him, it finally confronts Earth-616's counterpart of Mad Jim Jaspers, who is organizing a program against his own world's superhumans. Fury determines that this Jaspers was not its creator and is thus not exempt from its directive to kill superhumans. Fury and Jaspers battle until Fury transports them both to the void that was Earth-238. Jaspers, unable to use his powers with no reality to manipulate, is incapacitated by Fury. Fury returns to Earth-616, where it is ambushed and destroyed by Captain Britain and Captain UK.
