Ultimate Forge?

Think of him as "Q" from James Bond.

Oh, alright, the role that he plays in the X-Men Legend game.

To be honest, Forge is a very cool character with a lot of potential, however, because of his mutant ability, he usually gets shafted. He's the one sitting around making all of the gagdets for the X-Men... Which is good some of the time. I would really like to see Forge get dirty, too, and kicking some butt while he's at it. He's perfectly capable.

 

[Ice]

That is true. It would be cool to see him as a 'field agent' guy instead of just the 'gadget man'.

Yep. Unfortunatly, judging on his weak appearance, Ultimate Forge will most likely be someone that someone else comes to for gagdets. Magneto's already done this with that doom's day device.

Ultimate Forge is a young character so there is a lot of room for future developement. Its not like he's set in stone as a 50year old shaman or anything. He could be used somewhere and he coudl be developed but i don't know if he will. If he is going to be limited to a Q-type role then i think he should be sent to the Shadow team of the Ultimates. Who knows, maybe he'l pop up in vol 2

I sure hope he does... I think that he would be more useful on a team like the Ultimates than the X-Men... The X-Men have already been given what they need at the moment while SHIELD needs to keep up with stuff. SHIELD constantly needs something new so that they can get their job done more efficiently. That's the difference between the X-Men and the Ultimates... The X-Men do it because they want to and the Ultimates do it because they are getting paid.
