Fury- Earth 2 (The New 52)


First Appearance: Earth 2 (2012) Issue 8: Lazy Sunday

Fury is an Amazon and the daughter of Princess Diana of Amazon Island (Wonder Woman.) She is a dangerous assassin for Apokolips and worked under Steppenwolf.

After Steppenwolf's defeat, Fury was the only member of his forces to stay with him and be loyal, while the others fled or were rounded up and captured by the World Army. She had originated from Earth (Amazon Island) and was taken away from her mother, being trained in Apokolips combat at an “impressionable age.”

Fury hid in the trees while her master was meeting with King Markov of Dherain and killed two men, who were tasked to kill Steppenwolf with an Apokoliptian energy whip. She hangs the first one up by his neck and wraps her legs around the other's neck. Then she took out the rest of the troops, single handedly. Fury snarls at them, asking how they were going to kill her when “you're so busy dying.”

When King Markov uses Apokolips armour to blast Steppenwolf down, she is distracted, getting hit by an energy blast from tank with Apokolips technology. They soldier's inside claim they have her and prepare to fire again, but before they can she gets back up and uses the whip to smash the tank.

After Markov is killed she asks Steppenwolf if she had done as he bid and he agrees, saying she had done well in both head count and theatrics and that she never disappoints him. He tells her it's time to end it and she says it's good as she is yet to work up a sweat, but he tells her not in combat and that it will be done in words. Fury watches as Steppenwolf raises Markov's head and makes his speech, before shouting that the king was dead and “long live the king!” while the survivors bow.

Two weeks later she reports to him that the people are adapting to having him on the throne. Steppenwolf tells her he has always had a way of manipulating minds and that creating a statue for Markov was a help. But he also says it is time for them to start having “fun.” When she questions this, he tells her that Dherain was just a stepping stone and that he wanted control of the world.
