of the parallel timeline of Earth-238 in order to destroy all superhuman
s but himself. It is physically powerful, capable of generating lethal energy blasts and of adapting and regenerating its mechanical body. Like most of Jim Jaspers' other homicidal agents, the Fury was named for a minor character in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
:
The Fury slew all of Earth-238's superhero
es, with the exception of Captain UK, who fled to another world at the moment that the Fury killed her husband Rick. Most of the Fury's victims on Earth-238 were based on British
comic book characters from the 1950s-1970s. After succeeding in its mission, the Fury was deactivated until Captain Britain and his elflike sidekick Jackdaw
were sent to Earth-238 by the Captain's mythic mentor Merlyn
. Jaspers had his agents, the Status Crew, reactivate the Fury and send it to kill the hero.The Fury murdered Jackdaw, and then killed Captain Britain himself.
The Captain was retrieved by Merlyn and revived in the alien magician's home dimension, Otherworld. The Fury detected that its prey again lived, and began to adapt itself to interdimensional travel in order to hunt him down. Meanwhile, the temporal overseer Mandragon destroyed Earth-238 in order to kill Jaspers; the Fury only barely escaped to Captain Britain's native world, Earth-616
. There, the Fury killed several more of Captain Britain's allies, finally confronting Earth-616's counterpart of Mad Jim Jaspers, who was beginning to organize a program against his own world's superhumans. The Fury determined that this Jaspers was not its creator and therefore was not exempt from its directive to kill superhumans. The two fought, but the Fury won when it transported the pair to the empty void that had been Earth-238. Jaspers was unable to use his powers of reality manipulation in a universe where reality had been destroyed, and the Fury swiftly incinerated his brain. The weakened Fury returned to Earth-616, where it was ambushed and destroyed by Captain Britain and Captain UK, sustaining more damage in the process than it could regenerate.
The Fury preyed on Captain Britain's mind and thus was used by the insane Orpington-Smythe, leader of the R.C.X.
. He had one of his super-powered agents cast an illusion of Captain Britain's lover Meggan
, making her look like the Fury. The Captain instantly struck her down, though she survives with minor injuries.
The Fury reappeared years later in several issues of Uncanny X-Men
that were written by Captain Britain co-creator Chris Claremont
and illustrated by Fury co-creator Alan Davis. The Fury, which was later revealed to be a facsimile created by Captain Britain's brother Jamie Braddock
, destroys Captain Britain's home and beat the visiting X-Men
unconscious. It took control of X-Men member Sage
, who possesses a "computer brain", and had her attack her teammates, but its control over her was severed by an electrical field created by Storm. The Fury is again destroyed when Rachel Summers
created an artificial black hole
inside its body, collapsing it into a singularity.
In Uncanny X-Men #462, Mad Jim Jaspers was resurrected in Otherworld and appeared to have merged with the Fury. This led into the X-Men: Die by the Sword
miniseries in which Jaspers begins transforming the Captain Britain Corps members into Fury. This results in most of the Corps being slain. In the conclusion of this series Fury took complete control of Jaspers before being defeated and destroyed.
However, a small remnant of Fury is shown binding with an unknowing Merlyn

abilities, and when it decided to continue its campaign against superhumans it acquired the ability to cross dimensions
. Trans-dimensional travel nearly destroys the Fury, and it usually needs to acquire raw "genetic material" to rebuild itself. The Fury can kill regular humans and use their bodies for this purpose, although killing non-superhumans appears to not be a primary function of the Fury. The Fury's dart weapon is tipped with a powerful mutagen
ic, possibly to ready the body for absorption. The Fury kills a host body with its attached barb and drags the body closer to itself. Sid, a hapless drifter, managed to escape the Fury shortly after it warped to Captain Britain’s dimension, but he was grazed by one of the Fury's darts. The powerful toxin turned him into a grotesque monster that terrorized London until Captain Britain and the British Army killed him. It is unknown how Mad Jim Jaspers acquired the technical proficiency to make a complex construct like the Fury, although it is possible that he used his reality warping powers to give him access to the technology.
in the UK, featured the Fury in #133 (April 2006). The creature emerged in Scotland and battled both Captain Britain & Spider-Man
; Captain Britain eventually sacrificed himself to stop it by trapping them both in another reality.
In 2009, Marvel Heroes #15-16 featured the return of the Fury. In #15, Captain Britain returned to Earth with a warning that the Fury was coming back: repeated simulations by a Panini equivalent of the Illuminati ran hundreds of combat simulations, finding that in each one the Fury would slaughter them. The Silver Surfer
offered a solution: making a deal with Galactus
to gain the reality-altering Ultimate Nullifier
.
In #16, the Surfer and Captain Britain successfully gained the weapon, as even Galactus was capable of being killed by the Fury. Back on Earth, the cybiote made its appearance in Scotland
and began heading south. The next five pages saw the Fury slaughtering every super-team that attempted to stop it: MI-13's British heroes
at Dumfries
, the X-Men
at Manchester
, the Avengers
and Hulk
at Birmingham
, the New Warriors
, the Defenders
, Alpha Flight
at Northampton
, and a supervillain army at a motorway (the last panel of this had Doctor Doom
announcing "Enough! I am Doom, and will destroy-" before he was shot in the face). Finally, the Fantastic Four
and their allies fought the monster in central London
and were wiped out.
At this, the last few heroes and the survivors of the previous battles united under the S.H.I.E.L.D.

Powers and abilities
The Fury seemed to be harder and harder to defeat every time Captain Britain and the X-Men confronted it. The Fury was described as "the supreme killing machine" and usually defeated its super-powered quarries with energy blasts that it could fire from its left arm. The Fury could also fire poisonous, barbed darts. The Fury carried detailed files on all known superhumans, and its sophisticated array of sensors was powerful enough to recognize when it has killed all superhumans present in the universe.
