Well, I think it's kinda stupid to make a secret that proves you don't know what you're talking about.
A) His name is Marcus Johnson. He took his father's name after being hunted by his father's old enemies, burning his former identity, and joining SHIELD. It's kind of playing off the old theory that "James Bond" is a legacy name instead of a single person.
B) He doesn't "just happen" to look like Samuel L. Jackson. Ultimate Fury, who came about before the movies were even a gleam, was designed to look like SLJ because he was the most hardcore guy they could think of. They got special permission, but yeah, he looked like Jackson before Jackson was ever signed on to do the movies. And really, 616 Fury looks less like Samuel L Jackson than Ultimate Fury does most of the time.
But hey, whatever. Is it kinda dorky and stupid? Yeah, a bit. But I can't blame them for trying to make the comics look a little more like their incredibly popular and accessible movies--the idea is to bring in new readers, after all.
