1. Nick Fury
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH.
I mean, come ON. Was I really not gonna put good ol’ Nicholas Fury on this list? I’m not an idiot.
Fury is easily the most famous and successful comic book spy in comics. The dude started off as a World War II soldier with the Howling Commandos before James Bond’s rise to prominence made spy comics a thing in demand. And so Fury was brought back and turned into the charming and sexy Agent of SHIELD we all know and love. The super spy graduated to Director of SHIELD and became the badass spymaster he has since remained. Well, until Original Sin, but let’s not talk about that. The original Agent of SHIELD series is well worth a read, especially for Jim Steranko’s trippy cool artwork.
Fury’s a hardcore jerk sometimes, but watching him play around as the greatest spy of all time? That never gets old.
And there we go, ten agents so secretive, I bet you already forgot some of them. The best of the best. Spymasters, secret agents, double agents, masters of disguise, all the best. So if you have nothing better to do this week, and if any of these stories looked interesting, feel free to curl up on the couch with your girlfriend whose name is also a pun, tell M you will be busy for a couple hours, and get to reading. That is your mission, after all, if you choose to accept it.
