* BadassNormal: Gods, aliens, a man with "breathtaking anger management issues"... all nothing he can't handle.

* BadassNormal: Gods, aliens, a man with "breathtaking anger management issues"... all nothing he can't handle. [[spoiler:Taken up a notch in ''Secret Invasion''; not only does he reaffirm his skills in espionage and combat, but he's all but stated to be ''the'' biggest threat to the Skrull rebel alliance's plans, not because he's got crazy superpowers, but because he's ''Nick Fury.'' And no one invades Earth while he's still on it.]]



* TheDreaded: If there's anyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. whose presence will make people start sweating with fear, Nick Fury is that man. Mysterio outright calls Fury "the most paranoid and dangerous man on the planet", and is terrified of him discovering the truth of what he is, and even Alexander Pierce, a man who shows zero fear of the likes of Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff, immediately calls out for a hit on Fury when he suspects that he may be digging too deep into what Project Insight really is.

** [[spoiler:His reputation precedes him once again in ''Series/SecretInvasion'' when he returns to Earth after a several-year-long hiatus. While the Skrull rebels, especially Gravik, are not too worried about him because he's been out of the game for a long time, he quickly proves to be a huge SpannerInTheWorks, cementing why he's got this reputation. As the series goes on and he gets back in the groove, the Skrulls begin to visibly worry about his presence and it's shown even ''Gravik'' is starting to fear him once again, being the only one who could actually put a stop to their plans.]]

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: In Phase 1 and 2, he is the ultimate [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] and ManipulativeBastard. He's the super spy leading SHIELD and founding the Avengers. However, after the Blip and realizing he couldn't do anything against Thanos, he clearly has a crisis. When he comes back to Earth to fight in ''Secret Avengers'', nearly everyone of his former allies and enemies point out he isn't the same badass mastermind he was, having also no access to his old ressources anymore. He also has a far more rampaged look than in his previous appearances. He still is willing to do anything he can to protect Earth though.

** Much like his comics counterpart, he generally comes across as the only person with his mind together in most of his scenes. Interestingly for this trope, instead of (or in addition to) being a constant annoyance to him, he uses his perspective and bluntness to help people and/or situations reach their potential. ''The Avengers'' shows that he even plays this role to the [[WellIntentionedExtremist World Security Council]], his bosses.

* BadassOnPaper: ''Secret Invasion'' heavily implies that for as many good things Fury has accomplished as a {{Spymaster}}, a good chunk of his good deeds were only accomplished because of Talos and the Skrulls helping him infiltrate and report on things under his command.

* TheOathBreaker: The reason for the Skrulls aggression toward him throughout ''Secret Invasion''. After the events of ''Captain Marvel'' he promised the Skrull refugees a new home at the first possible opportunity. Decades later, he and Carol had not only not found a planet for them, but Fury's choice to actively leave Earth and focus on the S.A.B.E.R. station was the last straw in their hope for him to keep his word and lead to their increased militarization under Gravik.

* HeroicFatigue: The reason he "abandoned" Earth in favor of the S.A.B.E.R. project sometime prior to ''Far from Home'': After everything he did to try and protect the world, it was all ruined anyway by Thanos, an alien threat he didn't see coming. This disinherited him so much he gave up the spy life and admits he had no intent to return.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Subverted. While dealing with the situation with the elementals in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', Fury is oddly quite trusting of Quentin Beck in spite of his suspiciously flakey past, only realizing he's been had after Beck gives him an [[BlatantLies outrageously bad explanation]] for why the Elemental monsters have all fused into one. Then the [[TheStinger post-credits scene]] comes along, and it's revealed that [[spoiler:Fury is actually Talos from ''Film/CaptainMarvel2019'', who isn't used to dealing with Earth-based situations and significantly more gullible than the real Fury.]] This trope was actually invoked by director Jon Watts, as he realized that in order for the plot of ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' to work, Fury would have to be uncharacteristically trusting of Quentin Beck's claims.
