Unfortunately, Fury took it too far when he was playing with Goose after the battle. The Flerken reacted negatively and swiped at Fury, scratching and permanently damaging his eye.
Nick Fury lost his eye in Captain Marvel (2019) when Goose the cat scratched his eye.
Goose doesn't enjoy the way she's being held and she scratches Fury's left eye. At first, it doesn't look too bad, but it was enough to get infected and Fury lost his eye by the end of the movie.
Marvel race-swapped Nick Fury because, in the Ultimate series of Marvel Comics in 2002, Earth-1610's Nick Fury was black and inspired by Samuel L. Jackson. The writer of Ultimate Comics, Mark Millar, designed the alternate version of Nick Fury with Samuel L.
Despite developing a close bond with Fury, Goose accidentally scratches his left eye, resulting in the permanent loss of his vision and the need for him to wear an eyepatch.
Toxicity: In the Earth-199999 reality, a scratch from a Flerken causes severe tissue damage to humanoids, as Nick Fury found out when a claw swipe from Goose to his left eye resulted in scarring and permanent loss of function.
The serum didn't give any superhuman powers to Fury, but his aging decreased rapidly, hence why he looks younger than his years. The same goes for his son Nick Fury Jr. who inherited his father's Infinity Formula, while MCU Nick Fury seemingly has no superpowers.
Infinity Formula: Nick Fury's aging had been slowed greatly by the Infinity Formula, a serum created by Dr. Berthold Sternberg. Fury was first inoculated with the serum in the 1940's. Fury took the serum annually for many years.
Following the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. and his near fatal encounter with the Winter Soldier, Fury fakes his death and hunts down Hydra cells before assisting the Avengers in their battle against Ultron. Fury falls victim to the Blip, and upon his resurrection dedicates his time to developing the S.A.B.E.R.
Nick Fury is a former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., founder of the Avengers, master martial artist, and expert combatant. He is also a master strategist and astute judge of character, using these talents for great effect in his leadership of S.H.I.E.L.D.. His iconic eyepatch covers his 95% vision loss in his left eye.
Life with Nick Fury
Goose lived in his office at S.H.I.E.L.D. As Phil Coulson came in, wondering where the Tesseract was, Fury, looking over at Goose, assured him it would turn up. Despite accepting the Flerken as his pet, however, Fury chose to not reveal how exactly he lost his eye.
The answer to this conundrum comes in an end-credits scene that reveals Fury is a Skrull. As the end-credits scene of Far From Home reveals, the real Fury is off-planet overseeing the construction of a massive space station.
Thor loses his eye during the earlier parts of the final battle sequence with this goddess. She casually and effortless beats him around the throne room, and then the moment happens. Hela strikes Thor across the face with her sword, literally slicing the eye from out his head right then and there. Brutal.
Thor, the god of Thunder, was undoubtedly the most powerful member of the original Avengers. His power continues to grow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Nick Fury's Eye Patch
He has 95% vision loss in his injured left eye, over which he wears a cosmetic eyepatch. The injury was revealed to have been is due to an injury to his left eye from a grenade during World War II.
Captain Marvel is arguably the MCU's strongest Avenger, and there are a few scenes that prove it. In-universe, Carol Danvers has been a superhero since 1995. However, Captain Marvel only joined the MCU in 2019.
And not only that, but he's also married to a shape-shifting Skrull. Episode 2 begins with a flashback to 1995 after the events of Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel where Fury has been clued into the existence of the Skrulls.
Kevin Feige has stated that Nick Fury at the funeral was the real deal. So, it's safe to assume Fury went to space (probably to start S.W.O.R.D) after the funeral.
If we're going to count fake deaths, then Nick Fury “died” for the first time in 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He was seemingly murdered and buried before it was uncovered that he faked his death to escape from HYDRA, an evil organization that infiltrated SHIELD.
History. The son of CIA agents Nia Jones and Nick Fury, Marcus Johnson spent most of his life unaware of his parentage or his mother's true past. When a fling with Nia resulted in her pregnancy, Fury feared that both her and their unborn child could become targets of his enemies.
Reception. The reaction by comic book fans to the revelation of Marcus Johnson being Nick Fury's son and replacing his father has been mixed.
Nick Fury spent years in space because he felt useless and pointless against a powerful force like Thanos. Ever since he was Blipped back into reality in the events of 'Avengers: Endgame,' he spent most of his time in space, specifically to work on S.A.B.E.R. to oversee its development.
Initially, his organization's primary nemesis is the international terrorist organization Hydra, created by Fury's worst enemy of World War II, Baron Wolfgang von Strucker (after retconning of the original continuity).
And here is the answer. Captain America gave Nick Fury money because they had a bet. When Cap woke up after being frozen for 70 years, Fury came to him with a mission to stop Loki and retrieve Tesseract. He explained to him that the world had become even weirder than it was before.
Nick Fury is 70 years old in Secret Invasion.
Then, when Hulk snapped them back in Avengers: Endgame, they rematerialized at the same age. For example, if you were 20 when The Blip happened, you would be 20 when you returned, despite five years having passed.
