Well, just imagine a time when doctors prescribed morphine for crying infants. He gave his friend Some-Dumb Dougan a copy of the formula so that Dougan could retain his youth too otherwise Dougan would have insisted on being near Furious during the latter's retirement to see if he could be still young as a side effect. Nick Furious retained his youth by using this secret chemical. Alternate Realities What The-?! ( Earth-9047) ![]() However, Fury rapidly aged after using up the Infinity Formula in his blood via blood transfusions to save the life of Winter Soldier. ![]() Nick Fury's aging process was incredibly slowed by taking regular doses but now he didn't take anymore and his son Nick Fury, Jr. Fontaine had previously liberated the serum from its captors and inoculated Fury just in time to save his life. However, the timely intervention of Val de Fontaine saved the day. Even though the Colonel defeats Harris and his thugs, the future indeed looked bleak for Fury as he began to incredibly age (from not receiving an inoculation of the Infinity Formula). Nick found Harris in Las Vegas and battled him and his minions. He decided to blackmail Fury even further by making demands to become immersed in SHIELD and other National Security briefings. However, Steel Harris killed the Professor and took possession of the serum. Sternberg himself was not immune to taking advantage of Fury's delicate situation, basically holding Fury's life for ransom starting in 1946, every year through 1976 by charging Fury a high fee for more of the serum.

Since Fury's first inoculation, the Colonel had to pay a blackmail price to Sternberg every year to acquire the serum. Fury must be inoculated by the serum every year or he will age dramatically. He was saved in part due to Professor Sternberg's Infinity Formula. Nick Fury was seriously wounded in France during World War II.

While it still retains the life-prolonging properties of its parent elixir, it doesn’t keep any of the other properties. It is a diluted form of the Elixir of Life developed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1652. The Forever Compound is an alchemical serum produced by the Brotherhood of the Shield.
