Nick J. Fury Sr.

• Action Dad: Father of Nick Fury Jr. and Mikel Fury and one of the greatest spies in the world.

• Trick Arrow:
  • Standard Arrows: These are basic, lethal arrows that Barton uses for straightforward combat situations. In addition to the standard arrowhead, Barton has blunted arrows, target arrows, Adamantium-tipped armor-piercing arrowheads.
  • Explosive Arrows: These arrows fitted with a grenade or other explosive is usually set to explode on impact, upon proximity detection, or by remote control activation (suing a trigger on Barton's bow). Whatever the means of detonation, these are often quite destructive. However, Barton also uses explosive arrows that deliver smoke, glue, fire-retardant, slippery oil, and sensory disorienting flashes upon detonation.
  • Electric Arrows: Also known as "shock", "stun", or "taser" arrows, these are designed to deliver a powerful electric shock to incapacitate enemies in a non-lethal manner. Similarly these arrows can be quickly adjusted to function as EMP grenades, causing a small explosion that emits a localized electromagnetic pulse upon detonation, causing various unshielded electronics to malfunction.
  • Grapple Arrows: These arrows are equipped with grapple hooks and cables, useful for creating zip-lines or climbing. Upon firing, these arrows often attach a high-tensile strength wire to Barton's bow, but Barton can also quickly calibrate these arrows to dispense their wire in several other manners to accomodate the situation.
  • Pym Particle Arrows: These arrows uses Pym Particles to temporarily change the size of its struck target. These are experimental (and expensive), so Barton only carries two such arrowheads (one each of a red and a blue) in his quiver and has yet to deploy either in the field.
