Ward added, since it was unclear if the alternate timeline's Nick Fury was still alive in the alternate timeline following the events of the seventh season, Deke would have worn it because it felt like "a power and cool thing", with Deke ultimately serving as a partial adaptation of the original version of the character. ^[25]
