He was black in the Ultimate universe. People didn't care because the last white Nick Fury was David Hasselhoff and that movie was complete garbage. Helps that they casted one of the most likeable and popular actors to portray him this time around.

He's based off of ultimate Nick Fury who was in turn based off of Sam Jackson.

The change is too old for me to recall a controversy. Happened before social media poisoned everything.

Somebody probably posted on their GeoCities page "Nick Fury is black. Grrr Marvel is ruined forever."

He was also a WWII veteran in his original form. Point being that in comics characters sometimes change over time.

good point, it's hard to underestimate the impact that social media has had on this kind of thing

I mean they literally interview people whose only qualification is "posted on an instagram post" on cable news regularly now

He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor.
