HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mother dearest, Kian Egan, Eric and Kirsten Dunst
The last person in the Iron Man series is the Ultimate version of Nick Fury, to be played by veteran actor Samuel L Jackson in the upcoming Iron Man film :-)
General Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury is a fictional military officer, Gulf War veteran and spy, featured in Marvel Comics.
Ultimate Nick Fury is a reinterpretation of the classic Marvel character Nick Fury. A notable difference between the two is the fact that Classic Fury is Caucasian with brown hair, while Ultimate Fury is African-American and bald, and was in fact specifically tailored after actor Samuel L. Jackson with his permission. While his eyepatch is generally worn over his left eye (consistent with his mainstream Marvel counterpart), it has occasionally switched to his right in some comics.
Fury has a heavy presence in all the Ultimates books, appearing first in Ultimate Marvel Team-Up and Ultimate X-Men and later reappearing regularly in Ultimate Spider-Man and finally securing a regular, recurring role as the General of S.H.I.E.L.D. (short for Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage Logistics Directorate) and the leader of The Ultimates, a re-imagining of the Avengers.

Technologies
Fury has no trace of the Infinity Formula or other enhancements that the regular continuity's Fury has claimed. He is an exceptional combatant and strategist and a gifted field leader. He operates with technology years ahead of traditional forces, including the latest experimental weaponry, and some form of projected invisibility and the ability to walk through solid matter. These powers have very limited windows due to massive expense for any moment of 'uptime;' costs for these literally burn millions of dollars per microsecond. He once used a chewing gum that was programmed to explode after 200 chews. Fury is constantly monitored and shadowed by dozens of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and all observation technology known - and a few that are not.
