Did you know that Phil Coulson was first introduced into comics with the nickname “Cheese”?

Well, it’s true! In a slightly strange story called Battle Scars, penned purely to add elements of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the comics, both Coulson and Nick Fury Jr, who just happens to look like Samuel L. Jackson, are introduced to readers. However, to preserve the surprise of who these characters really were, they had different names until the final pages of the last issue, and, up until then, Coulson is known as Cheese!
