Re: Ultimate Avengers (Discussion & Spoilers) I understand that he and Loki really are Norse gods too, but the way I understand it, Loki doesn't just lie, he warps reality. That might have opened the door for someone to replicate what previously had been non-existent technology to grant someone...

Re: Ultimate Avengers (Discussion & Spoilers) Yes, it was much better before we knew. But now we're left with what once was an original take on the character but is now just a lame and redundant facsimile of the 616 Thor.

Re: Ultimate Avengers (Discussion & Spoilers) Loki twisted reality so that Thor was created by technology in a way, and without his belt and hammer he was powerless. Actually, I much preferred Thor when it was unclear whether or not he was a mental patient who only believed he was a god and...

Re: Ultimate Avengers (Discussion & Spoilers) It's funny you say that about Captain America because it reminded me of an interview I recently came across that's about a year old. Millar says of the next arc, "Then we switch gears completely with the second storyline, titled Ultimates Black...

Re: Ultimate Avengers (Discussion & Spoilers) It's a funny medium because terrible ideas like Ultimatum not only mess up future stories, they threaten to taint old, formerly good ones too if you let them. For example, I really don't like OSC's altered UIM origin, nor do I like Bendis' new...

Re: Ultimate Avengers (Discussion & Spoilers) I was thinking in Vol. 1 it was mentioned that Black Widow had such implants but Hawkeye did not (he was telling her to quit talking so he could concentrate during an op, saying maybe she could do it and talk at the same time due to her million...

Re: Ultimate Avengers (Discussion & Spoilers) You didn't remind, you informed... so thanks! I've been away from the UU (and comics really) since the end of Ultimates 2.

Re: Ultimate Avengers (Discussion & Spoilers) Okay, so I read Ultimates 3 for the first time today before reading Ultimate Avengers. Ultimates 3 didn't ruin the characters for me... but only because it was so far removed from The Ultimates, I couldn't even internalize them as the same...

Good stuff, but this remains my fav. Family Guy moment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIwvf6qxUM4

Re: Heroes *Spoilers* Same thing happened to me (well, my DVR, not your girlfriend's). NBC posts full episodes online. I'll check that out tomorrow.

The most natural way to end Ultimates 2 is for the group to split from S.H.I.E.L.D. Too much has taken place for them to kiss and make up with the govt. now and they have the clout and resources to operate independently as the Avengers. However, there is no way S.H.I.E.L.D. can drop the...

In Wizard 180, Carey commented a little bit about his take on MODOK for the Ultimate Vision mini.

Maybe they could go the route of XML2 and base the game around a storyline where the Earth's good and evil superhumans are forced to unite in order to stop a common enemy (say someone like Galactus). If they did this, they could use villains to fill the roles of the characters not allowed in...

My team (get ready for some big-time originality): The Ultimates: Ultimate Thor Ultimate Cap Ultimate Iron Man For my fourth I use Black Panther with the outfit that looks closest to Joe Mad's design for Ultimates 3 (those four also give me the 'Classic Avengers' bonus). I usually...
