Hey guys n gals, Jake Fury here. When recently going through some of my old Ultimate comics I noticed I had a few issues that I had purchased twice or ended up with double copies. Seeing no need for such, I thought of a creative way to give them away!
What I want you to do is simple. I know we have some talented people here and I want you to design myself as a comic character. That's right, I want you to create Jake Fury's likeness as a comic book character. It must be your own design.
You may do this via an artwork submission or a short origin story. You don't have to post art but the origin story is a must. It's completely up to you as to how you imagine the character. Your envisioning of me may be street level, cosmic or however you want to do it.
I will allow the contest to run for a month and anyone competing must be a US resident. (sorry shipping is out of this world to other countries) It will begin tomorrow March 25th and run through April 25th.
The winner will receive: Ultimate X-Men 40-45 (Written by BRian Bendis and illustrated by David Finch)
Ultimates Vol 1 Issues 12 & 13 Ultimates Vol 2 Issues 1,2,6 & 9 (written by Mark Millar & Illustrated by Bryan Hitch)
Not all of these are in mint condition but damnit they're free.
I will decide on the winner and will pay all shipping costs.
Have at thee mortals!!!

When imagining you as a character, a lot of what I imagine stems from your name. So I won't change it.
Real name: Jake (last name unknown)
Code Name: The Fury
Appearance: Very tall (estimated 6'6), muscular build. Shaggy brown hair.
Origin story: Nobody knows exactly where the Fury was born or where he came from. He appears to be ageless. The earliest known records of his life are from over two hundred years ago, when he was wandering Japan as a ronin. Since that time, he has been spoken of in the shadows as the world's most dangerous mercenary. He is known to have been caught up in the French and Indian War for a short time (rumors are that he was hunting down a platoon of British soldiers after the woman he cared for was accidentally killed in a skirmish), he did several top secret missions for the Allied powers in World War II (worked alongside Captain America and Wolverine during that time), he was hired as the personal bodyguard for Nelson Mandela for a short time in the 90s, and has recently become a freelance operative for S.W.O.R.D (Sentient World Observation and Response Department). He was offered a job by SHIELD once a while ago, but he declined (most think it's because he didn't want everyone to be confusing him with Nick Fury). Apart from his job name, the fury only goes by the name Jake. When asked about his last name, his only reply is "My name is Jake." As of yet, nobody has been able to uncover the mystery of his identity, and he has never expressed any desire to tell anyone (assuming that he knows it himself). The Fury is not like most mercenaries. He usually adheres to a certain moral code over what jobs he takes. He will rarely, if ever, be known to accept a job that involves killing of innocent people, giving aid to criminals, ect. However, it should be noted that his moral code does not include anything about not killing. The Fury prides himself in being an extremely quick and efficient killer.
Skills: The Fury seems to have developed a hand-to-hand combat style entirely his own. Deadly and efficient, it does not appear to stem from any known form of combat. His combat style seems to rely heavily on quick, snapping movements, and complete flexibility in all joints to allow 360 degree attacks and blocks. Along with his hand-to-hand combat skill, The Fury is proficient in the use of virtually all normal forms of weaponry and vehicles, he is a tactical genius (specializing in guerilla warfare), and he is a master of stealth.
Powers: The Fury has superhuman strength, estimated to be at the 15-20 ton level. He has peak human speed, agility, and reflexes. He has superhuman senses that appear to be nearly on the same level as the likes of Daredevil (but, unlike Daredevil, The Fury's superhuman senses includes his eyesight). Lastly, he is able to create long blades of coherent energy from his forearms.
Equipment: The Fury wears a full-body suit that can change it's color to blend with any surroundings, making him halfway invisible. This suit also gives him a small amount of durability. It is unknown where he got this suit. Additionally, he has an extendable cable-shooter on each wrist, and wears a utility belt with a wide variety of small but useful items (smoke pellets, miniature EMP, first aid supplies, ect).

Jake Mckabe was a sargent in the US marines in Vietnam. Approached by military intelligence to become a covert operative. Trained as a sniper, expert marksman and in munitions he became one of the best assassins in the world. While on mission in Cambodia in 1972 he was exposed to a new genetically engineered virus and low levels of radiation. The combination of the two interacted with a dormant gene inhis DNA, turning him into the greatest killing machine in the history of mankind. Now armed not only with his skill but the chameleon like ability to meld with his surroundings, senses that made him a better tracker than a blood hound, better vision than a hawk or owl. Enhanced strength speed and agility (factor of 5). With a healing factor 8 times normal.

Expect a (hopefully) comedic entry from me sometime soon.
Prepare to face the most generic and cliche 'Alabama' stereotypes ever.

Jaketh the Fury, once a great asgardian warrior was cast out due to receiving one too many warnings over blasting country music.
"Fool!" Odin yelled at the mighty Jaketh. "You wish to be one with the people of country? So be it!" Odin growled as Jaketh was teleported away. Moments later, he awoke in a strange land called Montgomery, Alabama. It was here he met "Bob Joe" who would quickly become his best friend and mentor in this mortal realm. Jaketh adapted at a swift rate to this life style, changing his name to 'Jake' and exchanging his asgardian armor and attire for a cool and comftorable set of jean overalls. Bob Joe pleaded for Jake to take the final step to being a regular human---trading his hammer for a "gee-tar" or sawed off shotgun. Jake laughed at his limited options and chose both. "Dats unpossible!" screamed Bob Joe, terrified and confused. "Ya can't go bein a music player annnnd a shootah!"
"Can't I?" Jake replied as he created the sawed off guitargun. Yes, my friends, Jake Fury created a music instrument...of DEATH. To this day, he sits on his porch playing his favorite toons and enjoying the Alabama sun. If a bystander dares to even step an inch on his property, Jake takes aim with his sawed off guitargun and let's loose.
To Jake Fury, the proud super hero of Alabama.
;D
