As Marvel prepares to revive its Ultimate Universe for the new Ultimate Invasion event, it's a perfect time to contextualize its relation to the MCU.
As Marvel Comics prepares to revisit its Ultimate Universe, this presents an array of opportunities for the company moving forward, including a chance to address the Ultimate Universe's influence on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This week, Marvel announced plans to release a series centered around the return of the Ultimate Universe. The storyline, comprised of a four-part miniseries, will be called the Ultimate Invasion.
For those unfamiliar with the Ultimate Universe, it was Marvel's popular variant imprint world showcased during the 2000s as a means to modernize Marvel for new readers without the burden of having to fit stories into decades of continuity. Many aspects of the Ultimate Universe wound up providing inspiration for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The use of Samuel L. Jackson's likeness for Nick Fury, the concept of S.H.I.E.L.D.
For all the fanfare surrounding it, Ultimate Marvel still left an imperfect legacy. It may be virtually impossible for Marvel to return to its 2000s era edge even for a temporary event. However, this event has the opportunity to take advantage of its time gap by embracing it in a metatextual sense. The MCU is forever undeniably wrapped in the legacy of the Ultimate Universe and as such, this comic event could provide a metaphor for the movies.
The parallels are certainly there. The Ultimate Universe was where Marvel superheroes achieved the highest status of celebrity imaginable, but many also served larger corporate interests that dampened their message. Ultimate Invasion could be compelling by making such a parallel evident in its narrative. The best part about the Ultimate Universe was that it offered writers creative freedom to do whatever they wanted in ways they couldn't in Marvel's main canon.
