Ultimate X-Men is a superhero comic book published by Marvel Comics. Ultimate X-Men is a modern reimagining of the long-running Marvel comic X-Men, set in the Ultimate Marvel Universe, outside of the mainstream Marvel Universe continuity.

The protagonists are the X-Men, a group of mutants, whose unusual genetic makeup grants them super powers and set them apart from the rest of humanity. They are led by Professor Charles Xavier, the world's most powerful telepath. Although the series has an action-oriented slant, the series also includes topics related to minorities, such as racism, intolerance, prejudice, and coming out. Readers familiar with the original X-Men may recognize many familiar characters and storylines. However, Ultimate X-Men almost completely ignores supernatural or mystical elements such as space opera, alternate dimensions or magic as plot devices, the X-Men have no secret identity, and mutants are a recognised minority, rather than mistrusted and hunted down.

The series began in 2001 under writer Mark Millar and artist Adam Kubert. As of August 2006, it is currently written by Robert Kirkman and pencilled by Tom Raney and Ben Oliver, who alternate with every story arc. Yanick Paquette became the series regular artist as of issue #77

History of the Ultimate X-Men

Main article: Ultimate X-Men (story arcs)

Template:Spoilers

Mark Millar (February 2001 - July 2003)

Upon its release in February 2001, Ultimate X-Men was the second comic of the Ultimate Marvel line, predated a few months by its sister title Ultimate Spider-Man. The heads of the Ultimate Universe, Bill Jemas and Joe Quesada, originally tried to hire Brian Michael Bendis to write the title, but he declined.[1] Marvel hired Scottish writer Mark Millar (best then known for his run on The Authority) for his ignorance of the X-Men franchise. With the first X-Men movie as his only reference, Millar reinvented the X-Men.[2] As a consequence, Millar's original X-Men consisted of telepath Professor X, Cyclops, whose eyes shoot concussive beams, telepath / telekinetic Jean Grey, weather-manipulating Storm, simian genius Beast, metal skinned Colossus, and cryokinetic Iceman. With the exception of Beast and Colossus, these mutants were also featured in the first X-Men movie.

The Tomorrow People (#1-6)

The Brotherhood of Mutants, led by Magneto, conduct frequent terrorist attacks on the human populace. In response, the United States government retains a hostile stance towards mutants, deploying Sentinels across the country who preemptively locate and eliminate mutant 'threats'. Xavier forms a rudimentary X-Men team in an attempt to reestablish relations between mutants and humans.

Return to Weapon X (#7-12)

The X-Men are kidnapped and forcibly enlisted into Weapon X, a government-run strike force and concentration camp that transforms mutants into operatives for covert strikes throughout the world. Ultimately they're all saved by Nick Fury. Millar suffered from a serious kidney infection during this arc and admitted transferring his pain onto his characters.

You Always Remember Your First Love (#13-14)

The Cajun, energy-charging mutant Gambit is introduced, saving a little girl from Hammerhead, who killed her parents. These filler issues were written by Chuck Austen, as Millar has stated that he despises the character.

World Tour (#15-20)

The X-Men fight a re-imagined Proteus, in this universe the reality-warping, homicidal son of Dr. Moira MacTaggert and Professor X. Notable during this arc was Colossus' disillusionment with Xavier's dream and return to his homeland. He is brought back to his calling after rescuing the crew of a capsized submarine, a possible allusion to the real-life Kursk submarine disaster.[3]

Hellfire and Brimstone(#21-25)

This story arc introduces a rebooted version of the Hellfire Club, a noble pagan gentleman's club who think their "Phoenix goddess" is reincarnated in X-Men member Jean Grey.

Return of the King(#26-33)

The X-Men fight the Brotherhood again. Magneto's back story was fleshed out through an interview with Rolling Stone. In this world, Millar re-imagined him as the wealthy son of powerful US oil magnates with ties to the Bush family (possibly a reference to Osama Bin Laden), rather than being a Holocaust survivor like as in the original comics. He also presented him as a rabid human-hating xenophobe. Millar wrote Part 7 of "Return of the King" as his version of the conversation Professor X and Magneto led in the famous "plastic jail cell" in the first X-Men movie. It was also the swan song of the Millar / Kubert run and features two security officers who are called Millar and Kubert.

Common to the Millar period was an edgy tone, featuring quick action-driven plots and less moral X-Men. For instance, Wolverine tries to kill Cyclops in "Return of the King" because he is envious of Jean's love. In an interview with Sequential Tart, Millar commented: "You're not competing with Cartoon Network on these books; you're competing with Buffy. (...) Superhero comics aren't adult, but they shouldn't be written for five year olds either."[2] As a side note, Millar also hinted at Colossus' possible homosexuality. Millar shaped Ultimate X-Men into a commercial hit, consistently outselling its sister titles X-Treme X-Men and Uncanny X-Men and staying just behind Grant Morrison's experimental and popular New X-Men run.[4]

Brian Michael Bendis (August 2003 - July 2004)

After Mark Millar's run, Ultimate Spider-Man writer Brian Michael Bendis took over for a year. Bendis stated that he was going to interpret his run in a more character-driven way, especially concerning Wolverine, who had previously tried to kill his teammate Cyclops.[5]

His first arc, Blockbuster (#34-39), was a crossover between Wolverine and Spider-Man, and featured another character Bendis was contemporaneously writing, Daredevil. The arc concentrates on Wolverine being hunted by Weapon X and his willingness to atone for past wrongdoing. Bendis' next arc New Mutants (#40-45) continued in character development, featuring a great influx of new mutants familiar from the mainstream X-Men comics, such as the winged Angel, Cyclops' estranged brother Havok, mind-possessing agent Karma, pacifist teacher Emma Frost, who can turn into organic crystal and light-powered Dazzler. Bendis' run was marked by the relative absence of major villains and was also notorious for killing Beast, making the character the first dead Ultimate X-Man. As a side note, Ultimate X-Men #40 features what Marvel claims to be the first marriage proposal in a comic book letters column, which is answered in Ultimate X-Men #44 with a positive response.

Brian K. Vaughan (August 2004 - February 2006)

The third Ultimate X-Men writer was Brian K. Vaughan, more known then for his VERTIGO work on Y: The Last Man. His run was marked by the relative absence of Wolverine as the main character and the re-imagination of second-string X-Men characters who he felt were underused or "shoehorned", as he called it. He introduced Mr. Sinister as a mutant-killing scientist with hypnotic/ stealth powers in The Tempest (#46-49), German twins Fenris as mutant corporate criminals in Cry Wolf (#50-53), and Mojo and Longshot respectively as a corrupt TV producer and a mutant felon in The Most Dangerous Game (#54-57). Notable is that both are of non-alien origin in this world and have the civilian names "Mojo Adams" and "Arthur Centino", a play on their creators, namely writer Ann Nocenti and artist Art Adams. Further arcs were centered on Professor X (#58) and Deathstrike in Shock and Awe (#59-60), who has adamantium claws and regeneration powers. Vaughan also reintroduced Emma Frost's mutant team and Magneto in Magnetic North (#61-65). As a side note, his run finally confirmed Ultimate Colossus' homosexuality.[6]

Robert Kirkman (March 2006 - )

As of July 2006, Robert Kirkman became the writer of Ultimate X-Men. Kirkman has promised to stay true to the differences between Ultimate Universe and mainstream Marvel Universe and not rely on the gimmick of "Who's getting Ultimatized this week"[7]. However, his run has introduced the Ultimate version of a number of characters: Lilandra, Cable, Bishop and the Six Pack, and in 79 will introduce the ultimate version of the Shadow King. In his first arc Date Night (#66-68), Kirkman introduced Lilandra as the "Majestrix" of her religious sect, the Shi'ar. His next arcs Phoenix? (#69-71) concentrates on Lilandra's interest in Jean Grey, who they believe is the reincarnation of the "Phoenix God", and also introduces reality-warping Elliott Boggs, The Magician, whose rise and fall was featured in Magical (#72-74). Kirkman also wrote Ultimate X-Men Annual #2, in which Nightcrawler (written by Kirkman as a disturbed psychotic with anti-homosexual sentiments and an obsession with Dazzler) was sedated after fighting his team mates, and Dazzler leaving the team in disgust. Then in Cable (#75-80), the character of the same name appears with intentions, seemingly, to kill Xavier. With knowledge of the X-Men's weaknesses, it's a battle he nearly wins. Wolverine and Cable battle until he unsheathes the same pair of claws, saying he'd gone through thirty years without a healing factor, greatly implying he's Wolverine himself, a fact Wolverine keeps to himself. After a few brief fights with several other X-Men, Cable kidnaps Jean and teleports away. Moments later Bishop, who is implied to be a former associate of Cable by his outfit, appears through a portal just like Cable. Bishop leads the X-Men, minus Cyclops, to an old Weapon X base where Cable's other "teammates" battle the X-Men.

Professor X was killed in Ultimate X-Men #78; this death will lead to major changes in the team lineup and mission statement. Kirkman in an interview with Wizard Magazine said: "Beginning with April's #81 a new arc called All Different (an homage to the famous Giant-Size X-Men #1) begins, it will see one new "ultimized" character, former members stepping up and others taking on side roles.", and returning the long-dead Beast, which would make him the second character to be resurrected.

Commercial success

Ultimate X-Men quickly established itself as a hit comic, lauded by critics and popular with the fans. The following table shows the development of comic sales in comparison to the mainstream titles.[8]

Main article: List of Ultimate X-Men characters

Ultimate X-Men

File:Uxm 10.jpg
Cover to Ultimate X-Men #10, featuring the X-Men when they were in Weapon-X. Art by Adam Kubert.
  • Professor X, telepath and telekinetic Charles Xavier, is the founder and patron of the X-Men. He is an idealist and a pacifist, but less saintly than his mainstream counterpart. He is the ex-husband of Dr. Moira MacTaggert with which he had a son named David. He has been in relationships with Emma Frost and Mystique. His suffered a spinal injury at the hands of his old friend, Magneto during an escape from his increasingly-militaristic island society, the Savage Land, an injury that left him a paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair. Recently, he has started a business relationship with the mysterious Lilandra, the majestrix of the pagan Shi'ar cult. After Jean Grey is kidnapped by the time-traveling Cable, Professor Xavier reveals to Cyclops that he is in love with her. Professor X is seemingly killed when he dives to protect Cyclops from a bomb that Cable detonates.
  • Angel, Warren Worthington III, is a handsome, shy, winged mutant. He is Dazzler's boyfriend before she is put into a coma. Currently "expelled" from the X-Men, although in reality is spying on Emma Frost for Xavier.
  • Beast, simian mutant and genius Henry "Hank" McCoy, is turned into a blue, furry beast by the insidious Weapon X project. When chatting online to the Blob (pretending to be an interested girl), he accidentally reveals Magneto survived Xavier's earlier attack. He has a troubled romance with Storm until he is killed in a Sentinel attack. It has been confirmed that Beast will return in issue 81.
  • Colossus, Piotr "Peter" Rasputin, can turn into organic steel and reluctantly works as an arms smuggler before joining the X-Men and is hinted to be a closet homosexual for much of the earlier series before finally coming out.[9] He has a small sister called Illyana, who does not seem to have any mutant powers. His homosexuality has been a major point of contention with his friend, Nightcrawler.
  • Cyclops, Scott Summers, whose eyes emit concussive blasts, is the boy scout-like X-Men field leader. Initially shy and aloof, he learns to be a unrivalled leader and pursue his interests, notably the love of Jean Grey, an interest that has often put him at odds with his teammate Wolverine. He revisits his dead parents in a dream world he calls "Corsair".
  • Dazzler, Allison "Ali" Blaire, is a tough-as-nails punk rocker with light powers who is heavily pierced and tattooed and wears slashed clothing. She becomes Angel's girlfriend after he takes the blame for something she does. She is stabbed and put into a coma by Yuriko Oyama, a.k.a. Lady Deathstrike. During her recovery, Nightcrawler develops an obsessive crush on her, eventually culminating in him kidnapping her when she awakens. She then leaves the team in disgust when Xavier tries to rehabilitate him. She is seen in the beginning of 79 at a bar hearing the news of Xavier's death via. T.V
  • Iceman, Robert "Bobby" Drake is a hot-headed youth with cold-based powers, who is in the throes of puberty, but loyal to the X-Men's cause. Recently he rekindled his relationship with Rogue when her absorbing powers were halted by Gambit's permanent absorption, but not before they consummated their relationship.
  • Marvel Girl, telepath / telekinetic Jean Grey, is outgoing and foxy, but also a very responsible young woman and is the unofficial second-in-command behind Cyclops. After an affair with Wolverine, she begins a steady relationship with Cyclops. She has difficulties controlling her Phoenix powers.
  • Nightcrawler, the Bavarian mutant teleporter Kurt Wagner, is a former Weapon X prisoner. He has a crush on Dazzler, and is resentful that she chose Angel instead of him. Despite his own struggles with being rejected for being different, he is uncomfortable with Colossus' homosexuality and shuns him as a friend. As of Ultimate Annual #2 he is being kept sedated after a failed attempt to kidnap Dazzler. From the May 2007 solicit of Ultimate X-Men #82, it appears Nightcrawler has escaped from the now deceased Professor Xavier's telepathic sedation.
  • Rogue, Marian, originally drains lifeforce and memories on skin contact. She is abducted into the Weapon X program under unknown circumstances. When she is liberated, she first joins the Brotherhood of Mutant Supremacy, then defects to the X-Men, then leaves the team in the company of Gambit. After permanently absorbing his powers during a battle with the Juggernaut (in which Gambit died), she has his red-on-black eyes, seems to have inherited his energy charging powers and seems to be able to touch people without draining their abilities or memories. Recently, these powers have started to fade, leaving her in her previous absorbing state.
  • Shadowcat, Kitty Pryde, can walk through walls. She is a young but dedicated X-Man. Like her mainstream counterpart, her devotion to her Jewish faith is evidenced by her everpresent Star of David. In Ultimate Spider-Man Annual #1 she begins dating Peter Parker, better known as Spider-Man. She left the team to live with her mother in Queens, where she is now enrolled in Peter Parker's high school. Her relationship with Peter has ended however, when he and Mary Jane got back together at the end of the Clone Saga.
  • Storm, Ororo Munroe, can manipulate the weather. She is a skilled car thief before joining the X-Men's cause. She falls in love with Beast, and when he dies, it causes her to adopt a darker, edgier costume and hairstyle (similar to the way the mainstream Storm adopted the new punk look). She dabbles in an on-again-off-again romance / friendship with Wolverine.
  • Wolverine, James "Logan" Howlett, has animal instincts and extreme regeneration powers. He is turned into an amnesiac, emotionless killer by Weapon X. He resurfaces as the cold-blooded elite assassin of Magneto and infiltrates the X-Men to kill Professor X. He betrays Magneto, however, and joins the X-Men.
  • Syndicate is the name of two mutant, psi-resistant conjoined twins named Luke and Matthew. They try to rob a bank to help their terminally ill sister, but are stopped by Professor X. Realizing their plight, he gives them a chance to redeem themselves by working as his private agents. Created by Brian K. Vaughan and Steve Dillon, they first appeared in Ultimate X-Men #58 2005. The characters have an unusual heart which pumps out electromagnetic pulses with each beat; this disables almost any electrical system. Their interlinked brain matter also makes them immune to telepathic control, although they are still susceptible to mind readings.

Villains and supporting cast

Ultimate X-Men introduced revised versions of classic X-Men villains, such as Magneto and his anti-human, racist terrorist group Brotherhood of Mutants, the amoral, Mengele-like mutant superweapon project Weapon X, the shady Hellfire Club and many more. In addition, the Academy of Tomorrow is the Ultimate Marvel version of a spinoff X-Men team called the New Mutants, in this world consisting of headmistress Emma Frost, who can turn her skin into organic diamond, Cyclops' older brother Havok (Alex Summers), who shoots concussive blasts from his hands, airborne Sam Guthrie a.k.a. Cannonball, non-mutant genius Doug Ramsay a.k.a. Cypher, Canadian speedster Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar, Havok's girlfriend Lorna Dane, the magnetokinetic Polaris, Roberto DaCosta, the Brazilian solar-powered Sunspot, and recently Angel. In addition, the Shi'ar are a religious movement, led by "Majestrix Lilandra". They worship the "Phoenix God", which they think is reincarnated in the X-Man Marvel Girl, a.k.a. Jean Grey. The Ultimate version of Cable also appears to be evil; he turns out to be a psychotic Wolverine, sent insane in the past out of the pressure of leading a team and/or losing his healing factor and left arm. Though his intentions were noble, they were ultimately misguided as they included the unjustified killing of Professor Xavier.

In the shared universe of Ultimate Marvel, the X-Men have more than once crossed the paths of other superheroes: Peter Parker is a good friend of the X-Men and is Shadowcat's current boyfriend. The X-Men share a wary truce with Nick Fury and The Ultimates, who have been both their best benefactors ("New Mutants" arc) and worst enemies (Ultimate War) in the past. The Ultimate Fantastic Four have recently met the X-Men in Ultimate X4 and the teams are generally on amicable terms.

Environment

Miscellaneous references to mainstream X-Men

File:Uxm25.jpg
Cover to Ultimate X-Men #25, art by Adam Kubert: Colossus and Wolverine executing the Fastball special.
  • In the mainstream Marvel Comic continuity, the Crimson Gem of Cytorrak is the source of villain Juggernaut's superhuman strength. In Ultimate Marvel, it is a gem once owned by mutant corporate criminals Fenris and was recently absorbed by the Ultimate Marvel version of Juggernaut, which resulted in a power boost for him.
  • In Ultimate Marvel, Murderworld is a first-person shooter game, created by bounty hunter Arcade. In the mainstream comics, Arcade is an evil genius, and Murderworld is his circus-themed prison camp.
  • In The Tempest, Angel calls the mutant killings a Mutant Massacre, a reference to the famous Marvel Comics storyline. Later, in issue #55, he is impaled on his wings by knives, a reference to the well-known image in Uncanny X-Men when his wings are impaled by the Marauder mutant villain Harpoon.
  • In Cry Wolf when Professor X and Jean Grey explore New York with their minds, Jean's astral image shows her wearing a green minidress with a yellow bladed mask, causing her to exclaim why she is wearing "her third grade Halloween costume". This is an in-joke referencing the classic Marvel Girl costume Jean wore in the early X-Men comics.
  • As of February 2007, Colossus and Wolverine have not done their trademark fastball special move yet, in which Colossus hurls Wolverine through the air like a pitcher would deliver a fastball. It was mentioned in Return of the King and has appeared on the cover of UXM #25, but was not seen yet in panel. However, In Ultimate Spider-Man #94 — the last issue of a storyline in which Spider-Man and the X-Men are kidnapped by Deadpool and must fight for their lives against him and the Reavers on Krakoa — Kitty has Colossus throw her at a group of the cyborgs, effectively performing the maneuver.

Future developments

Template:Spoilers

The current arc involves Ultimate Cable[10] who appears to be the future Wolverine. Ultimate versions of Bishop, Domino, Hammer, Grizzly and Garrison Kane are also introduced. The Shadow King is to make an appereance in Ultimate X-Men #79.

Appearances in other media

File:Xmlegends.jpg
X-Men Legends screenshot, featuring Colossus (l.), Cyclops (front), Iceman (r.) and Storm (back). Note the dark, tight costumes, inspired by the Ultimate X-Men look. [citation needed]
The two incarnations of Wolverine, from X-Men: Evolution. On the left his look in seasons 1 and 2, inspired by his look in the mainstream Marvel comics, on the right his look in seasons 3 and 4, inspired by Ultimate X-Men.
  • In the video games X-Men: Legends and X-Men Legends 2, the characteristic tight, black-and-golden costumes of Ultimate X-Men are the default outfits of the X-Men. The traditional costumes can be unlocked as throwbacks after the player has unlocked them by completing acts within the game. Additionally, many of the other characters (Such as the Brotherhood) have their Ultimate costumes as their default outfit, unless the outfit differs too far from their 616 appearance. [citation needed]
  • In the animated series X-Men: Evolution, Wolverine is wearing his Ultimate X-Men look from season 3 on. In the final episode Ascension, future adult versions of the teenage X-Men can be seen. Their normally bright, colorful costumes have changed into the dark Ultimate X-Men outfits. [citation needed]
