The End is coming for the Ultimate Universe.
After Ultimatum and Cataclysm claimed the lives of so many heroes is this 2015 event the end of the line for this line?
Marvel launched the Ultimate Universe in 2000 with modern takes on iconic characters and where dead meant dead and Nick Fury was Samuel L. Jackson.
If this is truly the end of an era will some heroes survive and move into the Marvel 616 universe?
Here are our favorite Ultimate characters that should make the move.
Miles Morales
A modern spin on the classic hero who’s just a kid trying to do the right thing. The second Ultimate Spider-Man inspired headlines because of his ethnicity but Miles is a great creation who shares the heroism and charm of the late Peter Parker. Morales is currently guest starring in All-New X-Men as Jean Grey is trapped in his world. Miles and the 616 Peter Parker met in Spider-Men.
If this is truly the Ultimate end, let’s hope Miles leaps into the 616 to work with Ms. Marvel or join a new version of the Young Avengers. I love the idea of a rookie Spidey with a learning curve still ahead in his superhero career. Spider-Verse is giving fans every man and woman who ever has Spider in front of their name. With Spider-Woman, Silk and Spider-Gwen on the way is there room for one more?
Jimmy Hudson
The son of the late Ultimate Wolverine. Jimmy was raised by James and Heather Hudson in Florida until his mutant powers kicked in. Kitty Pryde revealed the truth about Jimmy’s father and he later sought out Jean Grey and joined her resistance group. Like his father, Jimmy has a healing factor, three claws with each hand coated with organic metal.
After the Death of Wolverine, Jimmy could escape into our world to discover Logan’s Legacy and connect with this world’s James and Heather Hudson and be part of a new Alpha Flight!
Kitty Pryde
Ultimate Shadowcat aka Shroud aka Kitty Pryde. I love the 616 Kitty but this X-Man turned Ultimate is an even tougher customer. This Kitty Pryde fell in love with Peter Parker in a tortured teen triangle. When Ultimatum shook the universe and killed off many X-Man, Kitty became the Shroud, developed new twists on her powers and led a new underground resistance group. Kitty later joined Miles Morales to form a new team of Ultimates. Kitty Pryde is a great teacher of the young X-Men and balancing a long distance romance with Star-Lord. The Ultimate Kitty is more of a strike force leader who’s seen a hard life and made harder choices. This could be a Shadow Kitty Pryde – a darker counterpart who challenges the X-Men and makes Kitty think about her role in the mutants.
