Warning: Contains spoilers for Get Fury #6! Marvel Comics recently revealed that Nick Fury Geheimen had a daughter, one who went on a mission with the Punisher himself. Unfortunately, her Marvel career just ended in the most gruesomely cruel way possible, with her death being the one twist from Nick Fury’s latest storyline that any Marvel fan wanted to see.
in Get fury #6 by Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows Frank Castle just rescued Nick Fury from a North Vietnamese prison during the Vietnam War – and he didn’t do it alone. The only way Castle gained access to the prison was with the help of Phuong Thuy Tram and her daughter, Bian, who just so happened to be Nick Fury’s former lover and daughter respectively. However, just because they got out of jail alive, doesn’t mean they’re home free.
The CIA Smuggling drugs out of Vietnam in the caskets of fallen soldiers who are sent back to the States, and when two C.I.I. Agents discovered that Fury knew all about it, so they sent Castle to kill him. They only found out later that Castle was working with Fury when he uncovered the drug smuggling operation. So they both had to be taken out, and Get fury #6 shows the moment the CIA s hit-squad tried to do just that. While Fury and Castle made it out of the firefight alive, Phuong Thuy Tram and Bian were killed in the crossfire.
Nick Fury’s daughter was killed right in front of him, and he didn’t even know it
Nick Fury didn’t know Bayan was his daughter, and Frank Castle saved him the pain
Seeing Bayan and her mother killed right after doing their part to save both Fury and Castle was heart-wrenching, especially since they risked their lives and endured terrible hardship for the promise of a better life in America—one they never had. See. However, what makes the whole situation even more tragic is the fact that Fury didn’t even know who they were, and missed the chance to meet his only daughter before she died.
Fury did not recognize his former lover upon his rescue, as his mind was still reeling from the immense torture he had just endured. And he never knew he had a daughter, as Phuong Thuy Tram was going to tell him after they got out of that situation alive. However, after they were killed, Castle did not have the heart to tell Fury what he had just lost, sparing his friend the pain that Frank himself would soon endure.
Marvel Comics missed the opportunity to introduce Punisher’s perfect successor
Nick Fury’s daughter could have been a perfect next-gen antihero
Since Bian was introduced as Nick Fury’s daughter, it seemed like Marvel was setting her up to become a next-gen antihero. Bian was planning to go to the United States, she had Nick Fury’s blood pumping through her veins, and she was going on a mission with the Punisher himself. Get Fury seemed like the perfect origin story for Bian, who could have returned in a later comic during the modern era as a full-grown adult, ready to claim an antihero moniker for himself—perhaps even The Punisher’s successor.
While Bian could have made an excellent addition to Marvel Comics’ ever-growing cast of characters, sadly, it wasn’t meant to be. She helped save her father and ensured Castle lived long enough to eventually become the Punisher, but beyond that, Bian was as good as dead the moment she was introduced – and Nick Fury Never even got to meet her.
