Shocking Death in Marvel's Ultimate Universe: Is This Permanent, Captain Marvel?

Not meant to be was Ultimate Captain Marvel.

Far from the first legendary powerhouse hauled off the board in this new Ultimate Universe is Captain Marvel. Although strong Marvel characters like Black Bolt or the Sentry have already been slain in this new universe, readers have not anticipated Captain Marvel to fall so readily. Serving as a pilot and spy years before she even acquired her powers far into adulthood, Carol Danvers is among Marvel's most disciplined heroes. These clearly aren't the heroes fans know and love if even Ultimate Captain Marvel is twisted by the Maker's activities.

Among Marvel Comics' toughest-willed characters and among the best heroes on Earth-616 is Captain Marvel. Tony Stark's farewell words to his absent father later in this particular issue contend that the Maker has essentially physically twisted the moral arc of the universe at a basic level, not simply modified time. And Carol's passing as well as the deaths or rejections of so many other legendary heroes most surely supports this case. The odds are stacked against the Ultimates higher than anybody imagined, after all, since even Earth's Mightiest Hero isn't suited to ascend to her due place in this new continuity - even unintentionally dragging innocents with her in an uncontrollably explosive blast of energy.

Whether Ms. Marvel, Warbird, or most popularly Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers is among Marvel Comics' most powerful characters. Considered by many as Earth's Mightiest Hero, Captain Marvel is a pillar among the Avengers and the team commander right now. Sadly, that moniker seems to apply just to the Earth-616 incarnation of the character since Captain Marvel has already left the new Ultimate Universe with a bang.

Iron Lad and his fellow freedom fighters sending tailored origin-machines six months into the past to expand their ranks appears in Ultimates #1 by Deniz Camp, Juan Frigeri, Federico Blee, and VC's Travis Lanham. Many of the heroes, notably Captain Marvel, openly reject their fate and others struggle to fit their newly acquired abilities, therefore deviating from the intended course. Looking at Captain Marvel and his other failed recipients across time, Tony notes, "It looks like only one or two took." The remainder all died, intercepted, or turned aside. A - a lot of superpower accidental suicide. But it appears Carol traveled in company.

These Alternatives Avengers must compile some backup.

Among the strongest-willed characters in Marvel Comics and among the best heroes on Earth-616 is Captain Marvel. Should even her variant prove unable of assimilating to the new reality of Earth-1610, Iron Lad, Captain America, and the rest of the team will have their work cut out for them should they wish to permanently destroy the wicked Maker's Council. Whether the Ultimates can ever become heroes rivaling the height of Marvel's Avengers remains to be known, but either way, they will have to assemble without Captain Marvel.

Though Carol isn't the only hero that loves the Galaxy Far, Far Away, Captain Marvel has long been regarded as the Avengers' most Star Wars enthusiast.

After an explosion blends her DNA with a superhero coworker, United States air force officer Carol Danvers acquires superpowers.
