"Wolverine/Nick Fury: Scorpio Rising," a graphic novel by Marvel Comics published in 1994, is part of a trilogy. It was reprinted in 2012 as "Wolverine & Nick Fury: Scorpio," alongside two other stories from the series. The plot centers on Mikel Fury, Nick Fury's son, who struggles with S.H.I.E.L.D. training and is drawn into a revolution in his homeland, Carpassia. He takes the Cosmic Key there but is targeted by HYDRA using LMDs. Wolverine and Nick Fury team up to stop him and reclaim the key. Mikel later discovers he is heir to the Carpassian throne and, after defeating HYDRA, wins the presidency.

The trilogy was originally collected in a trade paperback and later reprinted in Marvel's "Epic Collection: Wolverine." Reception noted it as the third best-selling American trade paperback in 1994. Howard Chaykin, who drew "The Scorpio Connection," did not receive writing credits for this book but felt connected to the characters. The story is described as a general spy adventure.
