swiftly incinerated his brain. The weakened Fury returned to Earth-616, where it was ambushed and destroyed by Captain Britain and Captain UK, sustaining more damage in the process than it could regenerate. The Fury preyed on Captain Britain's mind and thus was used by the insane Orpington-Smythe, leader of the R.C.X. He had one of his super-powered agents cast an illusion of Captain Britain's lover Meggan, making her look like the Fury. The Captain instantly struck her down, though she survives with minor injuries. The Fury reappeared years later in several issues of The Uncanny X-Men that were written by Captain Britain co-creator Chris Claremont and illustrated by Fury co-creator Alan Davis. The Fury, which was later revealed to be a facsimile created by Captain Britain's brother Jamie Braddock, destroys Captain Britain's home and beat the visiting X-Men unconscious.

In the conclusion of this series Fury takes complete control of Jaspers before being defeated and destroyed. A small remnant of Fury is shown binding with an unknowing Merlyn. He later discovered it, extracted it, and used it as part of a spell to resurrect a fallen Captain Britain.

Its left arm fires energy blasts that are potent enough to kill literally every superhero in its original reality. The Fury can also fire poisonous, barbed darts. The Fury carries detailed files on all known superhumans, and its sophisticated array of sensors is powerful enough to recognize when it has killed all superhumans present in the universe. It has a back-up brain in its spine, should its main brain be
