History

Richard Sheridan (Earth-616) from Marvel Team-Up Vol 3 9 001

Rick Sheridan was a college student at Metropolitan University. One night, he dreamed that a bizarre, green-skinned being appeared while he was playing basketball. When he fell asleep again, the entity reappeared and interrupted his dream with his girlfriend Alyssa. Rick fought it and wrestled away an amulet the being wore, making it vanish. Rick's triumph did not last, as when he turned on his TV he found that it had appeared in the real world. Rick worked out that the dream creature could only manifest while he slept, so he tried to stay awake as long as possible. However, when thugs robbed a store he was in, they knocked him out, releasing the Sleepwalker.[2]

Infinity Wars[]

Rick would later film a documentary to give recognition and attention to street-level heroes like the ones who had helped him in his battle with depression. While filming a scene with Silhouette, Rick witnessed a large explosion in Central Park. Ducking into an alley, Rick fell asleep and summoned Sleepwalker.[3] When Requiem combined all the souls on Earth and shunted them into the Soul Stone, Rick was merged with Nick Fury to become Rick Fury, agent of S.L.E.E.P.[4] After a long journey through the other Infinity Stones, Sleepwalker arrived in Warp World, where he recognized Rick Fury as a form of Rick Sheridan. Sleepwalker sent them both to the Mindscape, which was overrun by nightmares. These nightmares swarmed Rick Fury because he had two minds in him, and Sleepwalker had to use his warp gaze to defuse Rick Fury. Rick and Nick Fury were then sent back to Earth, where they woke up in their beds.[5]
