History

The Fury is a deadly "cybiote" (presumably an android or cyborg) built by the reality-manipulating psychic Mad Jim Jaspers of the parallel timeline of Earth-238 in order to destroy all superhumans but himself. It is physically powerful, capable of generating lethal energy blasts and of adapting and regenerating its mechanical body. Like most of Jim Jaspers' other homicidal agents, the Fury was named for a minor character in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The Fury slew all of Earth-238's superheroes, with the exception of Captain UK, who fled to another world at the moment that the Fury killed her husband Rick. Most of the Fury's victims on Earth-238 were based on British comic book characters from the 1950s-1970s. After succeeding in its mission, the Fury was deactivated until Captain Britain and his elflike sidekick Jackdaw were sent to Earth-238 by the Captain's mythic mentor Merlyn. Jaspers had his agents, the Status Crew, reactivate the Fury and send it to kill the hero. The Fury murdered Jackdaw, and then killed Captain Britain himself.

The Captain was retrieved by Merlyn and revived in the alien magician's home dimension, Otherworld. The Fury detected that its prey again lived, and began to adapt itself to interdimensional travel in order to hunt him down. Meanwhile, the temporal overseer Mandragon destroyed Earth-238 in order to kill Jaspers; the Fury only barely escaped to Captain Britain's native world, Earth-616.

The Fury paid a heavy price for its violation of realities. It arrived on Earth-616 severely damaged and in need of matter to repair itself. It killed a homeless woman named Mr. McGeary and used her body to recreate itself. It aslo infected a homeless man named Sid.

The Fury managed to kill several more of Captain Britain's allies, finally confronting Earth-616's counterpart of Mad Jim Jaspers, who was beginning to organize a program against his own world's superhumans. The Fury determined that this Jaspers was not its creator and therefore was not exempt from its directive to kill superhumans. The two fought, but the Fury won when it transported the pair to the empty void that had been Earth-238. Jaspers was unable to use his powers of reality manipulation in a universe where reality had been destroyed, and the Fury swiftly lobotomized him. The weakened Fury returned to Earth-616, where it was ambushed and torn apart by Captain UK, sustaining more damage in the process than it could regenerate.

A short time later, Sid emerged. His infection had beguan to mutate him into a new version of the Fury. Sid, while experiencing great pain and confusion, began absorbing the mass of others, unaware of what was actually happening to him. Captain Britain managed to defeat him before the Fury could be reborn.

The Fury reappeared years later[1]. The Fury, having regenerated (but not up to its previous power levels due to the severity of the damage inflicted by Captain UK), destroyed Captain Britain's home and beat the visiting X-Men unconscious. It took control of Sage, an X-Men member, and had her attack her teammates, but its control over her was severed by an electrical field created by Storm. The Fury was again destroyed when Rachel Summers created an artificial black hole inside its body, collapsing it into a singularity.

James Jaspers was seemlingly resurrected in Otherworld and appeared to have merged with the Fury[2], probably because the Fury was accidentally sucked into a dimension in which some aspect of Jaspers had remained since his apparent death at the Fury's hand. After all, it was said that even destroying the entire universe wouldn't fully kill Jaspers, which might imply that some metaphysical aspect of him could survive his physical death, so this could explain Jaspers merging with the Fury.
