Marvel's New Ultimate Universe Has Already Killed Off Major Characters

Ultimate Universe #1 lays the groundwork for the series set in the new version of the Ultimate Marvel Universe. Ultimate Universe #1 also quickly establishes that no one, not even significant characters from the previous Ultimate Marvel Universe, are safe in this era. SPOILERS follow for Ultimate Universe #1 by Jonathan Hickman, Stefano Caselli, David Curiel, and Joe Caramagna.

Richards, Iron Lad, Thor, and Thor's jailer, Lady Sif, then launch a mission to raid the Maker's vault, where they suspect he is keeping various items that were meant to catalyze the origin stories of Ultimate Marvel superheroes. Their mission is only a partial success. Captain Britain catches them in the act and stabs Thor from behind, nearly killing the god of Thunder. The group manages to escape, but with only one of the Maker's many storage devices to show for their efforts.

In retaliation, the secret cabal of world powers that the Maker created to control the world uses an orbital weapon on a Stane/Stark satellite to level the Stane/Stark building where Iron Lad and his conspirators are hiding out. In the issue's epilogue, a newscaster reports on the aftermath of the incident, which is blamed on Tony Stark. A chyron beneath the newscaster lists the names of those presumed dead.

The Green Goblin was Ultimate Spider-Man's archnemesis. It seems his elimination from the Ultimate Marvel Universe may be another change in the life of the Ultimate Marvel Universe's Peter Parker. The genetically modified spider meant to give him his superpowers being locked in one of the Maker's vaults would explain why he doesn't become Spider-Man until he's a married man with two children this time around.

Ultimate Universe #1 also sets the stage for a showdown between the Ultimate Marvel versions of Black Panther and Moon Knight, as well as for the emergence of the new Ultimate X-Men. Ultimate Universe #1 is on sale now. Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Black Panther, and Ultimate X-Men will begin rolling out in early 2024.
