Wolverine, Nick Fury: The Scorpio Connection (1989)
#/really/ not into this invented reason for Jake’s hatred of Nick#my earliest experience with the character is his appearances in The Defenders (1972)#there I remember his villain motivation being overall a vague dissatisfaction with society#that was apparently supposed to be because he was gay#and his anger with Nick came from Nick foiling his early villain plans#because Jake tried to follow in Nick’s footsteps in the army and it didn’t work out for him#and because Jake believed that Nick thought of him as weak#and we get a bit of that here with Jake wanting ‘to escape this big brother crap… to get a life beyond your shadow’#‘Who needs you showing up from nowhere with your certified war hero advice?’#and Nick approaching his brother getting into a relationship with a criminal by seducing the criminal in order to ruin their relationship#is interesting for Nick’s character#as is him feeling that the seduction went so well because he ‘acted in cold blood’#because when ‘you care for somebody you feel awkward stuff goes wrong’#considering how in the beginning of the book Nick was feeling bad about never making a serious genuine relationship work long-term#and not getting that ‘normal’ life with a family#and considering that Nick at least believes that he really cared for his brother but obviously really fucked that up#while it’s said in this book that Jake left the country to be with her and then became the villain Scorpio#of course in his previous appearances when he was Scorpio she wasn't there#and instead Jake was working with a sentient LMD of Nick that he emotionally abused#I just felt that that whole situation was wild and compelling and this explanation for it for Jake’s perspective doesn’t live up to it#I did like that when the new Scorpio villain showed up Nick thought deep down that it might somehow be his dead brother#and was disappointed when it wasn't#and I liked Nick’s insecurity about his age throughout this book#marvel#nick fury#jake fury#my posts#comic panels
