Nick's World

[21] The story begins with Nick Fury and a female agent talking about his car needing a new tire.

The page gets cut and a new figure is introduced, a man in a strange get up who explains who Nick Fury is and reveals that the scene is just a training exercise with a young spy named Chris Kong who is strapped into a machine which makes him experience moments out of Fury's life in an attempt to mimic him perfectly so that he can infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.

[22][23] Kong tells the man that he seems to make small mistakes that lead to total disaster.

The man states that, now that Kong is wearing Fury's trademark eye-patch, maybe now he will bring more of his fire to the simulation.

The page cuts back to the scene with the car, where suddenly a man in a parachute lands on Kong and the woman and they are dragged into the road, where they are run over by several cyclists.

"[25] Brian Cronin has also stated that the story was a strong look at a theme Morrison later explored in the pages of Final Crisis – the notion that there are certain people (here Nick Fury; in Final Crisis Batman) that you just cannot duplicate, because they are truly unique individuals.
