History:
The Nick Fury of Earth-9997 has similar origins to his Earth-616 counterpart and it is presumable that much of each characters histories are very much the same.
During modern times on Earth-9997, Nick Fury was still in charge of SHIELD following the release of Terrigen Mists into Earth's atmosphere and began mutating the world population. Fury managed to prevent the organization from being corrupt by influences of Norman Osborn who had ursurped the role of President of the United States.
Fed up of Fury's meddling, Osborn used information found in the Bloodstone files to create a species of octopoid creatures which he dupped the "Hydra" which would attach itself to a willing host, and assimilating it into a symbiotic creature. Osborn. During this time SHIELD was busy (with the aid of Captain America) in stopping riots and securing food resources. Osborne choose this time to attack the SHIELD helicarrier, causing a number of SHIELD agents and allies to become bonded with the Hydra. Fury, however managed to escape this fate, only to die when the helicarrier crashed during the attack. His final action would be to record a message for Captain America warning him of Osbornes actions.
While Fury died, many of his Life Model Decoys (LMD's) were reactivated in the crash and began initating long obsolete missions, some even beleiving that they were Fury himself. One in particular, believing itself to really be Nick Fury, ended up in California where it stumbled upon the Skull and his newly formed army. It's body was destroyed and it's head ended up on a pike where it would annoy the Skull with it's lengthy monologues about World War 2 and how it would eventually stop the Skull. The final fate of this LMD Fury's head is yet to be revealed.
Other LMD's of Fury have often attacked the palace of Czar Colossus of Russia, under obsolete Cold War era programming. These LMD's would never pose a serious threat and were considered more of a neusance than anything else.
The soul of the real Nick Fury ended up in the Realm of the Dead, where he and his long dead friends and allies in both SHIELD and the Howling Commando's would team up with Captain Mar-Vel and his followers in their crusade to kill Death, a battle which Mar-Vel eventually won.
Following Death's death, Mar-Vel created a realm called Paradise where Nick Fury was offered the oppertunity to live his most fondest dreams from consuming a shard of the Cosmic Cube. It is unknown what Fury's idea of an idealic reality was, if he indeed did consume a shard of the Cube, however he was present during a counter offensive against an invading army of the Kree. Fury's present activities following Mar-Vel's defeat and Mr. Fantastic's dominion over Paradise are presently unknown.
