[[General]] '''Dirk Anger''' is a satiric Marvel Comics character appearing in the book ''[[Nextwave]]''. He was created by [[Warren Ellis]] and [[Stuart Immonen]].

Anger is a thinly veiled, over-the-top parody of [[Nick Fury]]. Ellis originally intended to use Fury, but when that character was unavailable, he created Dirk Anger.

==Character history==
Dirk Anger is the Director of the Highest Anti Terrorist Effort ([[H.A.T.E.]]), and apparently oversees all operations aboard the Aeromarine (a reference to the [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] [[Helicarrier]] - but while the Helicarrier is essentially a flying [[aircraft carrier]], the Aeromarine appears to consist of several [[submarines]], bolted together, with rocket engines). Anger is fully aware that The Beyond Corporation&copy;, which funds H.A.T.E., is the newest version of [[terrorist cell]] S.I.L.E.N.T. However, he simply doesn't care.

Anger is over ninety years old, but has, through chemical means ("H.A.T.E. has the best drugs"), an extended lifespan. It has been hinted that Anger has been married at least once, and that he has met [[Winston Churchill]] (and bested him in a [[hula hoop]] contest).

Anger has a multitude of psychological issues, including misogyny, bulimia, alcoholism, nicotine addiction, depression, and a fixation on a flowery-house dress that may have belonged to his mother. At one point he was fed chopped-up baby [[chick]]s through an [[intravenous therapy|intravenous tube]]; it is unknown whether this is a regular treatment.
