The Ultimate Universe launched in the year 2000, giving new readers a chance to hop aboard a modern-day reworking of the Marvel Universe and was a surprise success! Earth-1610 featured familiar versions of some of the most popular characters – Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four and the Ultimates (the Ultimate version of the Avengers) – with more relevance than their 1960s-born counterparts. As it started from scratch, there was less continuity and backstory for new readers to worry about. And its freshness and willingness to break the rules made it feel like a universe in which anything could happen.
As the mainstream Marvel Universe (Earth-616) began to really push the boundaries over the course of the mid-to-late 2000s, Marvel felt the Ultimate Universe had comparatively lost its edge. With almost 10 years of continuity for new fans to deal with, it had strayed from its original purpose and arguably become less accessible. So they decided to bring that feeling back, regardless of whether or not they should… If you loved the Ultimate Universe, you may well have hated ‘Ultimatum’.
The build-up to this event began with MARCH ON ULTIMATUM (2006-2008), setting the stage for the big shake up. Earth-1610 would never recover from the destruction caused by this event which was intended to shake up the Ultimate Universe and give it back its edge. Many would argue that it had the exact opposite effect…
Major event: With a primary mini-series and numerous related tie-ins, Ultimatum is considered to be a major event.
