Ultimatum
So now that the first major brand-wide event (im not counting Gah-Lak-Tus) has finished in the Ultimate Marvel U, i just wondered what you all thought?
Do you think they can rebuild after such massive devastation? Do you think some of the major deaths were right to happen? Where do you see the teams and remaining characters go from here? |

It was utterly wretched.
As well as being a terrible story in and of itself with major holes in it, it basically ruins the Ultimate Universe. It's now effectively a post apocalyptic landscape. It's not set in the real world but with superheroes any more (unless they're just going to ignore the destruction of New York or pretend that it was fixed in three weeks, which granted looks like it might be the plan). Honestly I think the entire universe will be dead within three years now. Phazer |

Jeph Loed pretty much raped the shit out of the Ultimate Universe.
Ultimates 3 sucked on a massive scale, and then his name was on the series that nuked the entire continuity. It's so sad because I loved Ultimates 1, liked Ultimates 2 (despite its many flaws) and enjoyed Ultimate Spidey - much more than the 619 universe. Oh well. |

Loeb's destruction of the UMU is one of the most stupid decisions in recent comic-dom. I have to admit tho i was shocked at a lot of the deaths and and carnage on display. The ones that made me gasp were The Wasp, Cyclops and Doom...
I find it difficult to see where they can go from here... i was hoping to see where they were going in Spidey with Mysterio and how the X-Men would have gone on with the TRUE death of Prof X I know Spidey and Ultimates are continuing, and Ultimate Avengers is coming... just hope they dont completely reboot or retcon the series... the whole selling point on the brand was there was no coming back from Comic Book Death... well step forward Gwen Stacey and Beast! I may stop reading now this first "chapter" is completed... not decided yet. |

I thought Ultimatm rocked.
The only complaint I really have is that the killing of Wolverine didnt seem right. I mean, the series Ultimate Wolverine Vs Hulk, had Wolverine surviving as just a head, and they said they put his head in a vacuum and he still survived. Given all of that, getting shot by both Ironman and Cyclops at the same time shouldnt kill him. |

In the regular 616 universe he was reduced to his Adamantium skeleton, and that didn't keep him down for long. |

Oh I'm sure he's not dead, he's bound to be back soon enough.
It's just that the Ult Wolverine Vs Hulk came out quite close to this issue, and it was f resh in my mind and struck me as strange. |

i think that was one of the points about Ult Hulk Vs Wolverine, was that it showed us he can survive. The last panel in X-Men: Requiem of just Logans arm makes me think that could be how he can come back.... i think i read a while back he was going to be in Ultimate Avengers....

To be honest, I doubt he's really dead.

I know in the Days of Future Past cartoon Wolverines metal skeleton is in a stasis tube in Forge's lab, but again, thats based on 616 and not the Ultimate U

Wasn't that in an alternate future, in the Days of Future Past storyline? I've seen that in the 90s X Men cartoon. And he stayed dead, until history was changed so that it never came to pass.
Actually, since then,I think there was a story to reduce his healing factor because that seemed a bit too far to stretch it, but I havent read that one. |

Since then his power's have been upgraded to the point where he appears to be unkillable. During Civil War he lost all of his skin and flesh in a fight with Nitro.... http://uk.comics.ign.com/articles/742/742054p1.html ...but he got better. And when I was flicking through the big 'History of Wolverine' sort of book that's in shops now, there was something about a plot line where he made a deal with devil figure many years ago that meant he would always come back from death. To be honest, it looked like a terrible bit of ret-conning. |

Wolverine was taking the 'Mutant Growth Hormone' during the Civil War story which basically meant that his powers for boosted for a short period of time.

I take it thats something akin to the Banshee drug that Colussus and a few other X-Men started taking just before the Ultimatum wave?
