The end of the Ultimate Universe might be delayed until (at least) June, but Marvel is powering ahead with the impact anyway. Or at least, the Reborn: Ultimate Impact, as the five-issue miniseries previously touted as the fallout from Ultimate: Endgame is still beginning to hit stores in May.
So, what to expect from the upcoming title by Chris Condon and Stefano Caselli? How about so many new characters? While we don’t know the full scope yet, thanks to “Origin Boxes” taken back from the Ultimate Universe, new characters in the main Marvel Universe will come away with powers and abilities eerily similar to those of other characters. And that means four whole months after the TV show hit Disney+, we’re getting a new Wonder Man.
Yes, the Wonder Man in the MCU is Simon Williams, and this guy is named Vin Lerner. But presumably it’s a bit of a Nick Fury Jr. situation, where while he’s not the original, he’s in line with the MCU character and then they’ll be like “you’re not Simon Williams, you’re Vin Lerner, a different guy” every time we see him. Cool!
Far more mysterious is Hostilicus, called “Scourge of the Negative Zone.” It’s unclear whether he gets the powers of Annihilus from an Origin Box, or is just wearing Annihilus… Costume? Skin? I was never clear on that. Anyway, he’s there, too.
Reborn: Ultimate Fallout #1 hits on May 20 because you can’t stop the event train (this is setting up Armageddon as well). Check out Caselli’s two First Appearance Variant Covers below.
