The Marvel Cinematic Universe owes a good deal to Hitch's designs on certain characters notably the likes of Nick Fury, Captain America, and Hawkeye all of whom have a more military-like design compared to the colorful outfits they otherwise wore in the 616 universe. Bryan Hitch is also notorious for most any book he draws running into delays the worst of it being both volumes of The Ultimates and the issues of Age of Ultron he illustrated.
