When the Ultimate Universe began in 1999, it was originally intended by Bill Jemas to be called Ground Zero. Two years later, they were really glad they didn't use that phrase. But in the new Ultimate Universe, being launched by Jonathan Hickman, it seems that maybe that might have been rather appropriate.
Because this Ultimate Universe has had its White Event, its Big Bang, its inciting moment. And many are dead. But who? And how might this lead to a different Marvel Universe? Well for a start, Thor leaves a pattern in the ground when he teleports – or uses the Bifrost bridge. Just like in the movies. But New York has had… another 9/11? Maybe in the new Ultimate Marvel Universe, it's the first time? And blames Tony Stark for it all – and all the dead. The dead that the comic chooses to name.
