Fury
Greek vengeance deity
In Greek and Roman mythology, the Furies were avenging spirits who pursued and punished wrongdoers, especially those who violated family bonds.
They appear in classical literature as terrifying figures with snakes in their hair.
As a proper name, Fury serves as a title or character name: Nick Fury in Marvel comics, or various military vehicles and weapons systems. (Lowercase fury is intense anger.)
