and
Ultimate Nick Fury
No one would call Captain America and Ultimates director Nick Fury friends. That they are men of a similar mindset, however, is without question. Both are soldiers, through and through, willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish their mission. Their methods are distinct and complimentary. Fury is a savvy political operator, trafficking in the secrets that support power. He manipulates media and government in a effort to create a reality in which America is dominant and safe from the super-powered threats growing around the world. Captain America, on the other hand, is a man of action, used to shouting his orders over the thunder of a artillery barrage, rather than whispering them in back rooms. He prefers to effect change in the real world through a direct application of force rather than the subtle machinations of diplomacy.

He is not used to being on the front lines of a fight, preferring instead to offer support through his inventions.
