What Is SABER? Nick Fury"s Space Station Explained
SABER, the MCU’s new space organization referenced in The Marvels’ trailer and Secret Invasion, is not the same thing as the previously established SWORD. The Marvel Universe features several fictional organizations, many of which have served as the foundation for that universe for decades. The biggest example is SHIELD, which was brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the connective thread tying all the Phase 1 Avengers together. Since then, the MCU has introduced other organizations from Marvel Comics, but it has also created new ones.
It is curious that the first few hints of what SABER is in the MCU have come from Nick Fury, as Fury has always been one of the most realistic and ground Marvel characters. However, since the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Nick Fury’s MCU timeline has been a mystery. Spider-Man: Far From Home revealed that its Nick Fury was actually Talos in disguise, and that the real Nick Fury was working on a mysterious space station. The Marvels’ trailer and Secret Invasion have confirmed that Fury was actually at the SABER base during Far From Home’s post-credits scene.
SABER Is A Space Station Run By Nick Fury![]()
Secret Invasion season 1, episode 1 confirmed that Nick Fury had been off-planet since after humanity came back from Thanos’ snap. More precisely, Nick Fury likely left Earth after Tony Stark’s funeral in Avengers: Endgame. From Stark’s funeral to Secret Invasion, Fury was running the space station known as SABER. It must be noted that there is no organization known as SABER in Marvel Comics, meaning that Fury’s MCU space station is something created for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While SABER surely must be important in terms of protecting Earth from all sorts of threats, the fact that Nick Fury went to space after the events of Avengers: Endgame led to some tension between Fury and his allies. Both Maria Hill and Talos were mad at Fury for abandoning Earth for so long, even though both of them continued to assist Fury during those years. There was no mention of SABER in the MCU before The Marvels’ trailer and Secret Invasion. As such, it is difficult to say when SABER was created in the MCU’s timeline. That said, Fury was still on Earth when the snap happened.
SABER May Be A SWORD Space Station In The MCU![]()
In Marvel Comics, SWORD is responsible for protecting Earth from everything that comes from outside of the planet - that is, extraterrestrial and interdimensional threats. Whereas SHIELD is designed to protect Earth from itself, SWORD works as a first line of defense against unknown threats from outer space who often come to Earth looking for a fight. There is at least one SABER space station in the MCU, the one Fury had been in before Secret Invasion. In addition, The Marvels’ trailer suggests that is SABER’s job to search for anomalies outside of Earth, which should be SWORD’s job. As such, SABER may be a SWORD space station after all.
It would not make sense for the MCU to introduce SABER as Earth’s first line of defense against extraterrestrial threats shortly after it introduced SWORD in WandaVision. Not only would that confuse audiences, but it would also make the creation of an original organization not from Marvel Comics quite pointless. The most likely scenario is that SABER is an extension of SWORD, perhaps a special space station with specific purposes. The similar style of acronyms, which also tie into SHIELD, adds to that idea. That said, it is curious that WandaVision’s SWORD was dealing with a terrestrial threat – Wanda – whereas SABER is doing the “space work.”
Nick Fury And Monica Rambeau Are On A SABER Base In The Marvels![]()
Nick Fury and Monica Rambeau, the latter of which is the daughter of SABER’s creator Maria Rambeau, are both on a SABER base in The Marvels. Where The Marvels fits in the MCU timeline compared to Secret Invasion is difficult to say. However, The Marvels will see Monica Rambeau and Nick Fury working together. The Marvels’ trailer reveals that SABER is investigating an anomaly close to Earth – some sort of energy field that might tie into Monica Rambeau’s powers. With Secret Invasion set on Earth, it is up to The Marvels to solve the remaining mysteries regarding both SABER and SWORD in the MCU.
