Missing A Few Legacy Avengers: Where Are They in Marvel's New Ultimates?
Although the official roster seems to be lacking a few important names that have long-been connected with both the original Ultimates and the Avengers, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the Hulk are intriguing developments for this new Ultimate Universe. Early in the team's existence, Black Widow joined Earth-616's Avengers; Hawkeye followed suit, and both were among the founding members of the Ultimates of Earth-1610. Hulk started both the original Ultimates and the original Avengers. Why therefore are they not part of this new team?
This problem proves that Hawkeye chose not to seize the opportunity to become a superhero even if Hank and Janet were given the identical one. Black Widow's information is yet unknown, hence she remains a mystery waiting to be solved. Conversely, The Hulk is among the Ultimates' principal enemies rather than merely absent. Representing a cult-like group with great worldwide influence, The Children of Eternal Light, The Hulk is a member of the Maker's Council, a hidden society running the planet from the shadows.
The New Ultimates: Who Exactly Everything Published Regarding the New Modernized Avengers
According to The Ultimates #1, Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne operated their own pest control business prior to Tony Stark providing suits fitted with Pym Particles. But they are only the most recent members of this barely started team; what about the others?
Tony Stark is the teenage son of Howard Stark, the first Iron Man, who collaborated closely with the Maker and received invitations to join the Maker's Council. Readers are then introduced to Doom, the variant of Reed Richards of this universe who the Maker shaped and converted into his own personal head scientist, via Howard's experience understanding the evil inner-workings of his mission. Doom and Howard become close, and Howard rebels against the Maker, which sets off an onslaught from the future headed by this universe's "Kang the Conqueror."
The goal of Marvel Comics' New Ultimates, clarified
Now that the roster is established and the squad is ready for action, it's crucial to highlight just why the Ultimates came together in first place. For the sake of building his own global empire, the Maker single-handedly turned the planet of Earth-6160 into anarchy as was already noted. Through time travel, he methodically neutralized, killed, or corrupted every significant Marvel Universe player, so negating their influence.
Following the events of the essential-reading miniseries Ultimate Invasion, which explored the aforementioned origins of Stark and Doom and the attack on the Maker from the future, the Maker has been locked inside a temporal prison of his own design, one which will naturally open in less than two years. The Ultimates are so restoring the stolen destinies of the heroes the Maker neutralized and then enlisting them into the Ultimates to create a team strong enough to destroy the whole Maker's Council. They have just that small window in which to act.
ULTIMATES Confirms Complete Roster of Marvel's New, Modernized Avengers (Powers & Origins Explained)
The new Ultimates from Marvel Comics in the recently created Ultimate Universe of Earth-6160 have just formally been unveiled with the team's whole roster's release. Comprising several comic books and significant events that set the stage for this new section of Marvel continuity, the concept of the new Ultimates and the build-up to the team's eventual formation has been rather some time in the making. And now, following all those narratives, it has all come together in the flagship game of the Ultimate Universe, The Ultimates, with formal creation of this modernized "Avengers."
Tony Stark (Iron Lad), Reed Richards (Doom), Steve Rogers (Captain America), Thor, and Sif determine in Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri's The Ultimates #1 that the only way to mend their world - which was broken by the multiversal villain, the Maker - is to create and then recruit Superheroes, those whose destinies were stolen from them by the evil Reed Richards personally. Ultimately, they are successful in creating exactly that with Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, nicknamed Ant-Man and the Wasp, included from versions of two of the original founding Avengers.
Damage Control in the MCU is a reasonable arrangement that fits that universe, however in the Ultimate Universe it is somewhat dark and unsettling.
Following his incarceration in the City, the Ultimates break into the Maker's catalog of stolen items—ie, Pym Particles, the radioactive spider, etc.—which they subsequently did in the one-shot comic, Ultimate Universe, so enabling those robbed of their superhero status the chance to reclaim them.
For this new squad of updated Avengers, the stakes are quite high since their world is practically hanging on. Only time will tell whether they will be able to restore the planet the Maker so completely wrecked before the villain is released from his temporal prison; but, given now the whole Ultimates lineup has formally been formed, their chances just became somewhat higher.
Marvel Comics' Ultimates #1 are still in print today.
Designed in 2000, the Ultimate Marvel imprint rebuilt the whole Marvel Comics universe using fresh set of origin tales and connections. In an effort to streamline and refresh the 60-year legacy of Marvel for contemporary viewers, the relaunch reinterpreted Marvel continuity from fresh. Under the direction of renowned comic book authors Brian Michael Bendis, Warren Ellis, and Mark Millar, the Ultimate Universe—named Earth-1610 within the Marvel multiverse—lasted 15 years and offered plenty of ideas for the MCU.
