So....Marcus Johnson = Sam Jackson?
 

I stated in a previous comic thread about my lack of current comic book knowledge. Ive really gotten into the AvX story and have been trying to catch up on a lot of things Ive missed since I stopped reading in the 90s. I was surfing Wikipedia and wanted to see a list of SHIELD Agents. Trying to get an idea for a custom agent. Basically just a head swap on the Steve Rogers. I stumble on this Marcus Johnson dude and he is basically Sam Jackson's head (with the patch and al)l on ROML Wave 2 Steve Rogers body. Then I read about him and it says his birth name is Nick Fury Jr. My question is, is the Movieverse version supposed to be the son of white Fury? Im just curious.

No, the movie version is the based on Ultimate Nick Fury, who was based on Sam Jackson just like Nick Fury was originally based on Frank Sinatra. They created Nick Fury Jr. in the mainline comics to offer something familiar to movie fans.

Right on. I was reading Wiki like wtf?

Like Iceman said about familiar faces to the movie fans, Phil Coulson was also recently introduced into comics aswell.
