The new line Ultimate It has more than one version of classic mutants in the same universe.
The miniseries Ultimate Invasion (2023) and the comic Ultimate universe one-shot (2024) worked as an exit gun for the revitalization of this line, with collections such as Ultimate Spider-Man, The last, Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate X-Men y Ultimate Wolverine (All in force since 2024, with the exception of the last, which did not see the light until 2025). However, in this article we are interested in concentrating mainly on the penultimate of the sources mentioned in this same paragraph, for a reason that you can understand if you continue to read the article until the end.
As every usual reader of this line will know, Ultimate X-Men It is the only leader of this alternative reality that was not carried out by American authors, since, as we commented at the time, the Japanese illustrator Type of fishing Not only did we take both the scripts and the drawings, but also decided to transfer the action to the Japanese country.
On this occasion, we are interested in focusing our attention on the second protagonist of this new version of X-Menwho made his first appearance in Exemplary number 2 and replies with the name of Mei Igarashialthough his alias of superheroine is Maystorm. This can make me think of Ororo Munroealso known as Storma fact that should not be strange since then Type of fishing He had already clarified that he had been inspired by said superhero to create Mei Igarashi. It is not surprising that it has the same powers, in addition to a great physical similarity, as demonstrated in the lower image, except in the color of the skin, of course.
So far everything might seem relatively normal, since we must suppose Type of fishing They gave him all kinds of creative freedom when they imagine this new version of X-Men. The problem is that, as we have already mentioned at the beginning of the article, Ultimate Black Panther It is another of the headlights that are part of this new journey of the line, in which, as the usual readers of said collection may have observed, one of the main characters is the staff Ororo Munroewhose physical similarity is more identical to that of Storm original of that of Mei IgarashiAs can be seen in the lower image.
Of course, to look for a simple exit to this casino, there will always be those who can argue that, although both characters have the same powers, they are not called the same, in addition to the fact that they do not live in the same continent and, at least for the moment, it seems that there are little probability that the path of one approaches that of the other. Therefore, therefore, we will talk about another case in which duplicity is even more shameless than the previous one.
To do this we must direct our attention to the comic Ultimate X-Men nº 9within which we can verify it within the place known as Temple of the revealled X A guy with whom he is physical similarity Glutton It is undeniable, as shown in the lower image, although, as we have already said, in this comic, answer with the name of Akihirowhich is the civil identity of Roofs In classical continuity.
We could assume that, in this new version of the line UltimateThe name of Glutton eg Akihiro. However, that theory ceases to hold back with the arrival of the comic Ultimate Wolverine nº 1in which Chris Condon y Alessandro Capuccio They showed us a Glutton (Even if he replies with the name of Winter soldierDespite the head of the interstation) which also has many similarities with the classic version, as shown in the lower image. The only way to solve it would be to clarify that the version created by Type of fishing it is the son they conceived Chris Condon y Alessandro CapuccioBut we have no indication that shows us who intend to launch that course.
Of course, it is possible that Type of fishing Being developing their vision of mutants without paying attention to what happens in the rest of the line UltimateSince it seems the most logical option to explain why it seems that we have two versions of Storm And two others Glutton (even if they do not share the civil name) in the same continuity. Of course, a simpler exam would be clarified that the head Ultimate X-MenAlthough the title seems to demonstrate differently, it takes place in a different reality, something that would be plausible enough if we take into account the differences between this collection and those of the rest of the line.
