Nick... you once told me that you could never wash the dirt of this life away. But there is a need for a man of your expertise... and knowledge. Today, it was the Death's Head... tomorrow, who knows? Nick, the old SHIELD is gone, but someone has to deal with the world it left. Why can't we carry on... and not make a mess of it this time?
Maybe, Countess. Maybe.

Notes
Continuity Notes[]
- According to Fury #1, the whole Gnobian affair was a plan organized by Wolfgang von Strucker used to distract Nick Fury during the time while Red Skull and Hydra were planning to resurrect the at-that-time deceased Strucker.
- According to Fury #1, the Gnobians, as well as the Deltite, were mechanical constructs created by Arnim Zola.
- As a consequence, Wilhelm Schmidt and Werner von Strucker were also part of this plan; since the Gnobians were robots, Schmidt has never been possessed by the Gnobian Mother. Schmidt faked the "possession" to convince the Death's Head Squadron, also "Gnobians" unaware of their real origins, to follow his orders.
- Every "flashback" featured between Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Vol. 3) #3 and Vol 1 6 needs to be considered as an illusion created by the "Gnobians". It remains uncertain how Fury can remember something that likely have never happened like the destruction of Gruenstadt. The "flashback" featured in Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Vol. 3) #6 is a mere recollection of false events told by Schmidt as a part of Strucker's plan to confuse Fury.
