wasn't one of Thor's secret identities (Sigurd Jarlsson) an enviromentalist?
Thor has had so many secret identities over the years that I stopped keeping track. I only read Thor for a few months back in the day and that was when his secret identity was that bearded "hard-ass". He was no environmentalist.
As for Nick Fury, this is all part of Marvel trying to diversify thier comics. It started with casting Michael Clark Duncan as the Kingpin. This is just the continuation of that, and it's the stupidest fucking thing I have ever seen.
Hmmm, for 14 bucks I should really go pick this up. Of course that will probably get me back into buying comics just a scant year after I sold off and gave away 90% of my old collection.
