Marvel Sets the Record Straight: Correcting the MCU’s Oversight with Nick Fury

The fact that Captain America is so hesitant and reluctant to lead the Howling Squadron in Fury’s place, even temporarily, really highlights the kind of impact that future S.H.I.E.L.D. will have to face. The director is in the group. In the minds of Cap and (as readers will later see) the other members, the Howling Commandos are clearly Nick Fury’s team. According to them, even Captain America has no right to succeed him, even for a short time. Readers will quickly understand how different the Howling Commandos would be without Nick Fury. While the team led by Fury goes through the opening battle without a hitch, the Howling Commandos under Cap’s command can’t even get on the same page before the mission begins. The mission flight is overshadowed by infighting among members, including Dum Dum Dugan, who feels embarrassed that someone else is trying to lead Fury’s team, calling Captain America a “Gimmick with special abilities” will surely appeal to all of them. kill. As the MCU attempts to tell the story of the Howling Commandos without Nick Fury, the comics reiterate his importance to the team both in-universe and in the story.
