Colonel Richard Stoner is a fictional secret agent appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. The character, created by Barry Dutter and M.C. Wyman, first appeared inFury #1 (May 1994).

Rick Stoner was a hard man who always stuck to the rules and showed much disdain towards his fellowWorld War II soldiers, specificallyNick Fury whom he had a love-hate relationship of sorts with. He along withJames "Logan" Howlett worked at theC.I.A. and foughtHydra. Stoner was eventually offered the director's seat of the then newly formedS.H.I.E.L.D. Upon looking at theHowling Commandos' dossiers, he told himself that "these jokers will never become S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as long as I'm director". His director status is short lived as he's shot and killed by Hydra while trying to uncover a traitor within S.H.I.E.L.D.[2]
This turned out to be a cover up with Stoner actually having been disavowed and abandoned by S.H.I.E.L.D., plotting revenge against Fury for taking his job. Now under theFallen Angel codename, he plots to use a project to manipulate reality. Stoner and Fury have a battle over the project, ending up trapped in a pocket universe. Fury ultimately prevails while Stoner is killed.[3]

Additionally, according toDaniel Sousa, he was also known as "Little Ricky", a junior agent who "couldn't tell the difference between a clip and a mag."
