In the USM Annual 2 DD recruits Moon Knight to a group of street level heroes designed to dethrone the Kingpin and clean up the streets. Could this team be the Ultimate Marvel Knights? Would they be given a mini or something?
Who should be on this team? We know that DD and Moon Knight are mebers but who else should be members? I think Shang-Chi and Iron Fist would make good members. There is also the possibilty of Ultimate versions of Dagger and Cloak, with tonned down powers of course.
Now who should they fight and what storylines shuld they have? Of course one of the main focus has to be the fight against the Kingpin's empire and his minions (Bullseye, the Enforcers and Elektra). Some of DD's B-List villains like Bushwacker, Mr. Fear, Mr. Hyde, Purple Man, Typhoid Mary, etc could be revamped as creditable threats either has the Kingpin's minions or lone psychos they can fight when not fighting the Kingpin. Perhaps revamp the Owl into a truly vile and disgusting crime boss who makes Kingpin seem nice by comparsion.
But this shouldn't just be a DD title so other characters should have their storylines incorporated as well. I heard that Shang-Chi for example still has Fu Manchu as his father in this universe, who is now an Asian crime boss in the Ultimate Universe. So perhaps there could be an on going storyline with Fu Manchu trying capture his son and/or take over the NYC underworld. I guess Fu Manchu could also have a connection to the Hand (note:I'm not sure if it is cannon that Shang-Chi's father is Fu Manchu in the UU, if its cannon than perhaps someone else should be Shang-Chi's father in the Ultimate universe, because I believe Marvel has lost the rights to that name.)
Other heroes like Moon Knight don't seem to have much in the way of rogues gallery and a lot of Iron Fist's villains wouldn't work in this kind of title (though I supppose some of his martial arts villains like the steel Serpent could become high ranking minions of the Hand or something). Also some low level Spidey villains could be used for this (like Tombstone) and some of the goofy villains these heroes have faced could completely revamped (like Chemistro could just be Curtis Carr, a chemist working for the Kingpin who creates desinger drugs for him, no costume or super villain name.)
Anyway what would like to see happen with the Ultimate Knights?
