_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Born and raised in the area of New York City known as Hell's Kitchen around 1920, Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury is a World War II veteran, having led the famous Howling Commandos, a highly trained first-strike squad, as a sergeant in the United States Army's G-2, or Intelligence, Section. After he was injured by a grenade during the Second World War, he began annual injections of the Infinity Formula, which greatly slowed his aging. This grenade was also the cause of the eye injury that eventually cost him the vision in his left eye. Fury began covering the eye with a cosmetic black eye-patch, which became one of his trademarks, after he lost its vision.

While still in the CIA, he recruited Richard Parker and Mary Parker to rescue Agent Ten. Fury also became the superhero liaison for the superhero family called the Fantastic Four. He was then recruited by Anthony Stark, who is secretly the Invincible Iron Man, to be the next director of SHIELD, an international anti-espionage agency under the aegis of the UN. Under his command, SHIELD became the primary organization in dealings with superhuman activities and forged an alliance with the superhero team known as the Avengers.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Q- Can I put Order Markers on Nick Fury and use his Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. special power to take a turn with a unit on the battlefield while Nick Fury isn't on the battlefield due to not yet being placed by his Helicarrier Drop Team special power?
• A- In short, no. While you can legally place Order Markers on Nick Fury's card while he is not on the battlefield, you can't actually take turns with him. And since Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is "instead" of Nick Fury's turn, it requires that he be able to take that turn for him to be able to give that turn to a different figure.

One other thing that you were going to change.

Director of S.H.I.E.L.D
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, and instead of taking a turn with Nick Fury normally, you may immediately choose one Common or Unique Hero you control to take a turn with. Nick Fury may be the chosen hero. If the chosen hero is an Unique Agent Hero, you may also take a turn with an Agent Squad you control. You may choose which unit to activate first.

Sorry, thanks for the bump, I forgot about this in the whole mini choice issue.

Updated the cards and the mini info in the OP and I think Nick is ready.

I propose we move Nick Fury to On Deck.

Good stuff, guys.

HELICARRIER DROP TEAM
At the start of the game, you may choose up to 3 Agents you control to be part of the Helicarrier Drop Team. Nick Fury and the chosen Agents do not start the game on the battlefield. Once per game, before initiative is rolled, you may place Nick Fury and the chosen Agents on any empty spaces on the battlefield. You may not place them adjacent to any figures.

Somebody out there is going to screw it up and have Nick Fury be one of the chosen Agents, making the other lines sound redundant "Nick Fury and [Nick Fury and 2 other Agents] do not start . . . " and "you may place Nick Fury and [Nick Fury and 2 other Agents] on any empty . . ."

On the rare occasion that someone does this, maybe we should have a FAQ.

yea to On Deck

[Good Pig]

Wasn't Nick Fury going to be a Mutate because of the Infinity Formula? Not a deal breaker for me. Wasn't sure how the majority ruled on that species issue.

Yea to On Deck

[IAmBatman]

Wouldn't this be a good fix?

HELICARRIER DROP TEAM
At the start of the game, you may choose up to 3 other Agents you control to be part of the Helicarrier Drop Team. Nick Fury and the chosen Agents do not start the game on the battlefield. Once per game, before initiative is rolled, you may place Nick Fury and the chosen Agents on any empty spaces on the battlefield. You may not place them adjacent to any figures.

And, sorry, holding my vote for the moment since a lot of wording stuff seems to still be fluid ...

At the start of the game, you may choose up to 3 other Agents you control to be part of the Helicarrier Drop Team with Nick Fury. The Helicarrier Drop Team does not start the game on the battlefield. Once per game, before initiative is rolled, you may place the Helicarrier Drop Team on any empty spaces on the battlefield. You may not place them adjacent to any figures.

Too out there? I think this is rather clear. I'd also like to see what SirG thinks of Director of SHIELD.

[A3n]

Changing my vote to a Nay so it doesn't time out before wording is verified by special eyes.

Cheers

Now even better. It is less words and more clear.
