We were gung ho to put Nick Fury on this list until we realized: no costume? No code name? Crap… is Nick Fury even a superhero?

Then we thought about it some more, and skimmed his Wikipedia article: "eventually settling on a daring wing walking and parachuting act…" "enlists them for a special mission in the Netherlands…" "nicknamed the "Howling Commandos…" "recommends the recruitment of married agents Richard and Mary Parker…" "second commander of S.H.I.E.L.D…" "becomes the superhero community's main contact when government-related information is required in order to deal with a crisis..." "ultimately exposes and overcomes the Deltite threat…" "chooses to disband the agency to prevent it from again being subverted from within…" "rebuilds S.H.I.E.L.D. from the ground up..." " Punisher eventually kills Fury, who is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. However, the Fury that the Punisher has "killed" is later revealed to have been a highly advanced Life Model Decoy android…" "independently enlists the superheroes Captain America, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Wolverine, Daredevil, and the Black Widow to launch a covert assault on the leadership of Latveria…" "hired Deadpool to infiltrate Skrull ranks by pretending to defect…"

So... yeah. Congratulations Colonel Fury. We've decided that you're not a superhero, but it doesn't matter. You're just too badass of a guy with no super powers to leave off this list.
