The Ultimates have a unique mission that sets them apart from the Avengers in the mainstream Marvel Universe. Their goal is to restore the lost superheroes who never received their powers in the new Ultimate Universe. They are also determined to overthrow the villainous Maker, who has gained almost absolute power over the world.

One notable example of the Maker’s interference is the new Ultimate Spider-Man. Unlike his mainstream counterpart, this Spider-Man only recently acquired his powers in his mid-30s because the Maker prevented him from obtaining them as a teenager.
A Fresh Take on Superhero Team Comics
Deniz Camp will be the writer for The Ultimates, with artwork by Juan Frigeri. According to Camp, this new series offers something different from other superhero team comics. It is described as an evolution of the Avengers and the entire concept of superhero teams. The ambition is to create a comic that feels surprising, vital, and unlike any Avengers or Ultimates comic before.
The core roster of The Ultimates includes Iron Lad (Tony Stark), Thor, Sif, Doom (Reed Richards), and Captain America. The cover art for Ultimates #1 also hints at the addition of the new Ultimate Ant-Man/Giant-Man and Wasp.
The Ultimates’ Mission to Restore Freedom and Free Will
The official description of Ultimates #1 reveals that Tony Stark sent Peter Parker a radioactive spider to help him become Spider-Man. Inspired by this act, Iron Lad, Captain America, Doom, Thor, and Sif have started doing the same for other lost heroes. They are building a network of super-powered individuals who are eager for change. Their ultimate goal is to destroy the Maker’s Council and restore freedom and free will to a world ruled from the shadows.
Fans can look forward to The Ultimates #1 hitting shelves on June 5th. This new series promises to be an exciting addition to the Ultimate Universe, reinventing classic characters and archetypes in surprising ways. Stay tuned to see if The Ultimates succeed in their ambitious mission.
