Within Marvel Comics, Magneto, the master of magnetism, has long been regarded as a fierce mutant supremacist motivated by a strong conviction about the predominance of mutantkind. But in the Ultimate X-Men universe, a fresh and evil entity has surfaced prepared to inherit Magneto's mantle of power and start a new period of mutant supremacy. None other than the Shadow King, a villain renowned for mind manipulation and personal exploitation of weaknesses, this dark and enigmatic power is.
The narrative opens in the forthcoming issue of Ultimate X-Men #5 as Hisako, also known as Armor, and Mei, also known as Maystorm, are confronted by a black, shadowy figure. Haunted Hisako, this entity has driven some of its victims to commit suicide since it has terrible capacity to feed on the traumas of others and ignite a darkness inside them. Claiming to be kindred spirits and able to together rule the planet, this menacing figure—whose name is unknown—seeks to enlist Hisako.
Mirroring Magneto's goals, the Shadow King with its dark motivations aims to create a society where mutants rule supreme. The entity's terrifying words: "We could rule this stupid planet. We are... superior," underlines its will to rule all people and build a new world order. The objectives of the Shadow King are not unlike those of the original telepathic mutant who controls others in order to further his own interests. Still, the entity distinguishes itself from its predecessor by stressing mutant supremacy.
The arrival of the Shadow King inside the Ultimate X-Men universe generates an interesting dynamic. Already conquering Earth-6160, the villain from the main Marvel Universe The Maker has molded the planet in his own vision. The Shadow King sets the stage for an exciting power struggle by his ambition to rule the planet, directly at conflict with the Maker.
The Ultimate X-Men universe enters an uncertain new age as the Shadow King presents a serious threat. The future of mutantkind will be decided by the result of the conflict between the Shadow King and the Maker; the fate of the earth rests in balance. The stage is set for an epic struggle of power; the stakes have never been more.
Reimagining the venerable X-Men series, the Ultimate X-Men universe presents a different viewpoint on the life of mutant heroes and villains. The X-Men in this universe face continuous persecution because of their special talents; they do not have secret identities. With its darker and more growner tone, this reinterpreted universe has captivated readers.
