The Fury began life as the Corpus Christi Hammerheads, a charter member of the Intense Football League.

The Hammerheads were coached by ex-University of Houston Quarterback and former IFL star Jason McKinley, son of former NFL player Bob McKinley, and were led by a strong supporting cast of players such as quarterback Wes Cooper, wide receiver Shomari Buchanan, tight end Matt Ross, and linebackers Roy Salas and DeAndrae Filmore.

They played their home games at the Memorial Coliseum in 2004 and at the American Bank Center in 2005 and 2006, both of which are in Corpus Christi, Texas.

After the 2011 season, the Hammerheads left the SIFL to help start the Lone Star Football League.

In October, a new indoor football team was announced to begin play in 2017 out of the American Bank Center called the Corpus Christi Rage.
