I kind of unironically like this roster for the Ultimates all the Marvel greatest heroes from the icon three to Dr. Doom/reed & Sif for some originality to it
i only wish the teaser character are like Ultimate Captain marvel or Wasp so it isn't predominantly a sausage fest
Looks like the writer is Deniz Camp, who did 20th Century Men for Image, though, not Hickman, right? Or is this something written by Hickman for the FCBD issue?
20th Century Men was fantastic though, possibly I've of the most interesting minis I've read in years. Him bring involved in the Ultimates is a very interesting thing
Even after reading your comment I was like “okay yeah there’s only 3 but there’s a stretchy rat there…if Reed is the only one alive, where’s the Sue rat? Weird”
Can someone tell me were do I really start this new Ultimate run? I've already read the Spider-Man, Black Panther and X-Men (and loved it), but I want to know where I should start it.
The Fantastic Four were never created because Johnny, Ben and Sue were killed by The Maker before they could be exposed to cosmic radiation. Consequently, Reed became Earth-6160's Doctor Doom. It seems that he is working from information in the Maker's files on how to replicate the Four's destined accident, using rats as test subjects.
Oh boy, another run of ultimates!
Which of them is gonna become a cannibal first? Anyone wanna take bets?
I feel like mixing it up this time. Iron man can be the pedo, Captain America can be the cannibal, and black panther can be the wife beater.
But we're all about tradition, so hank can still break wasps bones a few times.
Earth-6160 was supposed to follow the same narrative as Earth-616, but with some minor differences (e.g. African-American Obadiah Stane, young Tony Stark, etc.) and time moving forward in real time. The Maker used the Immortus Engine to manipulate everything to his liking, creating a world divided into seven sovereign super-nations over which he reigned supreme.
Now he is gone, but his allies remain. A silent war has broken out across the world, between those seeking to control Earth and those seeking to free it.
Trapped within the City in Latveria, alongside Iron Man / Howard Stark and Tony Stark / Kang. The City will open in 19 months, a thousand years having passed inside.
Sure yea man, totally. Idk why I asked, I should’ve seen an answer like this coming. Now I gotta read more Hickman (love the guy but he’s not the most bingebale writer when it comes to big events, I’m still not sure about all the events leading up to secret wars)
No, it seems to be a weird fusion universe of the two. Spider-Man seems to have the 616 origin, yet Thor looks very heavily based on Ultimate Thor design wise.
Ultimate Thor was formerly a god too, and since The Maker went through time to change history, he could’ve time traveled to before Thor died to let Loki take over to imprison him so Thor never reincarnated into Earth.
It’s really sad that the only badass lady on this team is Sif. They could have the opportunity to do something really different with this team. Instead it’s the same old avengers.
I don't know, the shadowy figure below Black Panther kinda looks like Wind-Rider (Ororo Munroe). There's also another woman between her and DoomReed. Safe to say the roster is going to grow in a couple of issues.
I hope so! If any character can easily graduate out of the X-men, it’s Storm. Tho she’s not a part of in this universe, but you get the point. But I’m hoping for more wild takes that have never been members in the 616.
I'm hoping for the same. This new Ultimate universe has the opportunity to shake characters out of their usual comfort zones. So far it feels like they're going to stick with that, especially with all the heroes confirmed to be killed by Maker before Ultimate Invasion.
BTW, forgot to mention that Wasp is also confirmed as part of the team.
Yeah, the last issue of the ultimates mini had a room full or vaults or something, that contained the hidden/stollen powers and stories of the heroes. I wonder if we gonna have any crazy, surprising additions to the roster. Imagine someone like mystique as an avenger? Or maybe Jessica jones can finally get a mantle again. Who knows.
I’m happy for wasp! Hope she gets the respect she deserves.
Yes, I know. My comment is a reaction to the preview image. I obviously can’t react to something that hasn’t come out, but marketing material is launched to cause a response, not to be consumed in a vacuum. That’s was my response :)
Slightly worried about what Reed is cooking
Really curious about him; is he gonna be more of a Doom or more of a Reed?
Will Ultimate Reed be like Ultimate Reed is the type of question only Hickman can prompt.
Uj/I feel like it wil be inbetween maybe sorta similar to Red son superman maybe in terms of morality
The Rattastic Four
The first members of the Petimates
THAT LETTER ON HIS HEAD DOESNT STAND FOR FRANCE!!!
Apparently it stands for arson.

Steve holding the urge to insult the French (Hickman told him to stop being racist)
That wouldn’t be racist though would it? It’d be xenophobic.
The French are a race.
That's not racism
Can't believe they referenced the "letter on my head" scene. Wild.
Is it really wild the new ultimate universe is referencing the last one? Especially a very memed panel?
It's an extremely controversial scene. You'd think marvel Marvel would want people to forget it haha
Nah but you see the racism is ironic now so that makes it okay.
The invisible rat>batgos 🥱🥱
It can sneak into the bat cave and eat all of his cheese.
I kind of unironically like this roster for the Ultimates all the Marvel greatest heroes from the icon three to Dr. Doom/reed & Sif for some originality to it i only wish the teaser character are like Ultimate Captain marvel or Wasp so it isn't predominantly a sausage fest
I think Wasp is going to be in the book.
She will i think she was on a cover
Uj/yes she is she even had her own Variant cover
Always great when Hickman gets to be funny
Looks like the writer is Deniz Camp, who did 20th Century Men for Image, though, not Hickman, right? Or is this something written by Hickman for the FCBD issue?
20th Century Men was fantastic though, possibly I've of the most interesting minis I've read in years. Him bring involved in the Ultimates is a very interesting thing
I am legit looking forward to the book
"Ass"

Took me far too long to realize why I only saw 3 rats
Even after reading your comment I was like “okay yeah there’s only 3 but there’s a stretchy rat there…if Reed is the only one alive, where’s the Sue rat? Weird”
She's invisible duh.
They should say Ultimates Unite instead of assemble
Cap better inform that child that F is for freedom not France.
DoomReed doing something as DoomReed does
Can someone tell me were do I really start this new Ultimate run? I've already read the Spider-Man, Black Panther and X-Men (and loved it), but I want to know where I should start it.
Ultimate Invasion #1-4, Ultimate Universe #1 > Stark Terrorist Incident >>>>>> Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate X-Men, Ultimates (+ FCBD issue).
Thanks!
Is she from the aslume?
Not France, I can tell you that much
Illiterate child LMAO ![gif](giphy|vjjCsx3izfSyQ|downsized)
I mean, in the context of the Ultimate universe, that actually works.
I’ve only read the first issue of Ultimate Spidey, is Reed Doom in this universe?
Yes
YOU THINK THIS A ON MY FOREHEAD STANDS FOR FRANCE!?!
Why can't the big news be that those fire and ice girls were gonna kiss!
![gif](giphy|dMsh6gRYJDymXSIatd|downsized)
![gif](giphy|7WvAUvZZTRpSuudobh)
I think Tony should say something like “Ultimates Unite” or something like that.
What’s up with the fantastic 4 rats
The Fantastic Four were never created because Johnny, Ben and Sue were killed by The Maker before they could be exposed to cosmic radiation. Consequently, Reed became Earth-6160's Doctor Doom. It seems that he is working from information in the Maker's files on how to replicate the Four's destined accident, using rats as test subjects.
Uj/which makes me wonder if we're gonna get a proper fantastic four book in this universe albeit three of the members are gonna be different
Oh boy, another run of ultimates! Which of them is gonna become a cannibal first? Anyone wanna take bets? I feel like mixing it up this time. Iron man can be the pedo, Captain America can be the cannibal, and black panther can be the wife beater. But we're all about tradition, so hank can still break wasps bones a few times.
No, no, you don't understand. This is a complete reinvention of the Avengers. Notice how Sif is on the team? Sif's never been on the team. See?
/uj haven’t read the lead up issues in a while, do they ever mention if the new ultimate universe diverges from 616 or 1610?
Earth-6160 was supposed to follow the same narrative as Earth-616, but with some minor differences (e.g. African-American Obadiah Stane, young Tony Stark, etc.) and time moving forward in real time. The Maker used the Immortus Engine to manipulate everything to his liking, creating a world divided into seven sovereign super-nations over which he reigned supreme.

What uh, what happened to the maker (I’ve only been reading ultimate spiderman)
Trapped within the City in Latveria, alongside Iron Man / Howard Stark and Tony Stark / Kang. The City will open in 19 months, a thousand years having passed inside.
Sure yea man, totally. Idk why I asked, I should’ve seen an answer like this coming. Now I gotta read more Hickman (love the guy but he’s not the most bingebale writer when it comes to big events, I’m still not sure about all the events leading up to secret wars)
No, it seems to be a weird fusion universe of the two. Spider-Man seems to have the 616 origin, yet Thor looks very heavily based on Ultimate Thor design wise.
I mean he does look similar design wise but he's like, actually a god and not a god reincarnated into a normal dude.
Ultimate Thor was formerly a god too, and since The Maker went through time to change history, he could’ve time traveled to before Thor died to let Loki take over to imprison him so Thor never reincarnated into Earth.
Anyone know who the 2 on the bottom left are?
The one farthest left looks like the Cap Marvel from the Ultimates previews
Alright, who’s cracking their knuckles then?
Ayo ff4 rats?

The Rat-tastic Four
Pym Pest Control? Is the new Ultimates going to be pure humor?
Reed trying to recreate the powers of the F4 with rats is so badass, my god
Yeah so reed doom is definitely not going to last long as a hero.
It stands for France https://preview.redd.it/y5i7p099ihxc1.jpeg?width=1988&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a298d4b0ac9ca61418c0f358863e56c1e3099ac0
This letter on my head stands for France.

Isn’t this the new ultimates comics? In which case storm is a part of it, she’s killmongers wife in wakanda
Look, I'm not Wasp's biggest fan either, but the first issue didn't even come out yet...
Yes, I know. My comment is a reaction to the preview image. I obviously can’t react to something that hasn’t come out, but marketing material is launched to cause a response, not to be consumed in a vacuum. That’s was my response :)
Where’s trans pizza Parker?
