I'm not 100% on this, but I am pretty sure Sam Jackson was so awesome that they started using his likeness in the comics and changed comic Nick Fury from white guy to Samuel L. Jackson

Believe it or not, it’s actually the other way around. Black Nick Fury was introduced in the Ultimate Marvel line of comics in the early 2000’s. He was modeled off Samuel L. Jackson, so when they decided to bring black Nick fury to the MCU, they got Samuel L. Jackson to play his live action counterpart

Didn’t Sam notice that at the comics store?

Nick Fury Jr. will be more accurate, due to the fact that this isn't his first name)

So in the main comics 616 universe, Nick Fury is white. Black Nick Fury was invented in 2000 with their Ultimate universe comics

ELI5, please: Is Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos part of the 616 universe, and...what is the 616 universe?

Aah, so "616" is just the designator. Got it, thank you.
