The Ultraverse was a line of superhero comic books (as well the official name of the universe they were set in) published by the Malibu Comics company during the 1990s. Although Malibu already produced some superhero comics, they decided to forgo them for an all-new, interacting universe (which was believed to be one of the reasons why DC Comics and Marvel Comics dominate the American comic book industry). They hired several professional artists and writers — including noted Science-Fiction writer Larry Niven — to develop the characters and ideas on which the comics would be based. These creators were lured in by an offer to share a part of the royalties.The central concept of the Ultraverse was the "Godwheel": a flat planet the size of a solar system, with technological civilizations in one side and magic-using ones in the other. All of the power sources seen in the series came from the Godwheel, as did some of the characters. However, for the most part the general population of Earth was unaware of this, and the appearance of super-powered individuals — known as "Ultras" — was believed to be a recent phenomenon. Many of the Ultraverse characters were alternate company equivalents of existing heroes, though usually given a distinguishing twist, sometimes even a controversial one.The Ultraverse comics featured art and stories comparable in quality to anything Marvel or DC were offering at the time. Despite this, the crash of the speculator market for comics in the '90s forced Malibu to sell the line to Marvel Comics, who tried to integrate the characters to their multiverse in a story that featured the then-popular Infinity Gems. All the Ultraverse series were relaunched in altered forms (including Cosmic Retcons to their continuities). This proved unpopular with the fans, even with Marvel characters such as The X-Men's Juggernaut added in, and the line was canceled soon after.A one-shot called Ultraverse: Future Shock resolved many of the loose ends of the canceled series, and revealed that both the original Ultraverse and the "Marvel" version still existed, in separate realities.Marvel still owns the rights to the Ultraverse characters, but are wary of using them again allegedly due to royalty issues with the characters' creators and former Malibu exec Scott Rosenberg.

Darker and Edgier: Being from the 1990s, Kevin Green, during an arc in his first series, fashions a new "badass" look for his alter ego Prime, which he calls "Rogue Prime": a mullet-wearing man with a spiked diadem, a five o'clock shadow, a scar near his right eye, spiked boots and a cluster of chains around his waist. A later issue described this ensemble as "Grunge".

Reincarnated as the Opposite Sex

comment
Reincarnated as the Opposite Sex: Mantra from Malibu Publishing, the main character is a warrior employed by a wizard. He's continually reborn by having the wizard transplant his soul into a new male host whenever he died. At the start of the series, the wizard is betrayed and has only enough strength to move his most loyal warrior's soul one more time. He tells the warrior that this time it will be different. The warrior awakes to find himself in the body of a single mother. The series deals with him coping with this and having to learn magic to cope with his lack of martial abilities.

The Witch Hunter: Witch Hunter, a.k.a. Maria DeLorentti, a member of the Seventh Sign, a secret organization dedicated to the eradication of evil supernatural forces. Unlike more traditional witch hunters, she hunted witches in a Stripperific outfit featuring a Navel-Deep Neckline rather a Badass Longcoat and a nice hat. She still carried a BFS, though.

Alternate Company Equivalent
 The Ultraverse (Comic Book) / int_200c8312
comment
Alternate Company Equivalent: Contrary looked, dressed, and acted similar to Emma Frost. The Freex were equivalent to the New Mutants. Contrary's students, "Academy of the New Elite" were equivalent to the Hellions. Prime was pretty explicitly inspired by Shazam!, though his creation predated DC's Power of Shazam revival by a few years. Alex Ross's painted cover for the "Prime Time" trade paperback ran with it, being a direct homage to Whiz Comics #22. In The Phoenix Resurrection: Aftermath one-shot, among the assembled heroes, there is one that is clearly a female version of Marvel's Wolverine (claws, hairstyle, a dirty brown coloured version of his yellow-and-blue costume), only named Ferret.

Extremely Short Timespan
 The Ultraverse (Comic Book) / int_281de59f
comment
Extremely Short Timespan: The second half of the Marvel-run Ultraforce, in short, happens in a very short timespan, with almost no room to breathe. To wit: At the end of "Smoke and Bones" (#5-7), the Black Knight expels four members. However, Lament and Topaz stay in their HQ "for a week". Issues #8-9 happen in the span of 12 hours, and finish when future Prime and other Ultras come to help the past Ultraforce. Issues #10-11 happen almost immediately after the previous arc: the team is tasked by their "janitor" to clean up the place after, then his monstrous-shaped brother is accidentaly released then contained. At the end of the issue, they learn of an invasion in New York and go to help the All-New Exiles ("Maximum Destruction crossover", which crosses with issue #12). Issue #13 is an Immediate Sequel to the "Maximum Destruction" crossover, with Exiles Amber Hunt and Hellblade joining the Ultraforce.

Prime is Kevin Green, a boy with the ability to "grow" an organic Power Armor in the form of an adult superhero. His original series lasted for 26 issues, from June, 1993 to August, 1995. Vol. 2 lasted for 15 issues, from October, 1995 to December, 1996. 41 regular issues in all. Plus a mini-series, an annual and a number of one-shot crossovers with other characters.

Wide-Eyed Idealist: In the first Ultraforce issue, Kevin Green watches Hardcase's interview about regulating the Ultras, and thinks that he can show Hardcase Ultras can work as a team. At the end of the first arc, Atalon surrenders, but his demands are met by the USA government. In response, Prime says that they, heroes, cannot allow him, a villain, to win, but Hardcase tells Prime "this is not a comic book".

Story Arc: Ultraforce (Vol. 1). The first story arc (invasion of the Fire People) happens in seven parts, including issue zero. The second (and last) major arc deals with Black Knight, a member of the Marvel Universe's Avengers, being transported to their world. In Prime second series: The title's first arc deals with Kevin meeting Amazon natives who worship a "Spider-God", him using a Spider-Man-esque suit, and dealing with his older alter ego gone rogue. In the third and last arc, a Generalissimo from a Central American Banana Republic tries to steal Prime's powers. He succeeds; Prime loses his powers and reverts back to his kid self in front of several cameras. Oh, and Lord Pumpkin returns.

Who Watches the Watchmen?: This is the premise of the first Ultraforce series: after the appearance of the revived Ghoul, two mobs clash against each other about the fate of the ultras. Hardcase flies in to intervene and is questioned about how to police the Ultras. Hardcase doubts the efficiency of government control and does mention the possibility of Ultras regulating themselves. This is what leads to the creation of the Ultraforce.

The Exiles, a team composed of Ultras who gained their powers from a disease known as the "Theta Virus". Although marketed as an ongoing series, this was actually a miniseries where all the main characters died suddenly in the end; this was done as an intentional Wham Episode. Lasted for 4 issues, from August to November, 1993.

Transplant: After the Black September event, four characters from the main Marvel Universe were carried over to the Ultraverse: Avenger Black Knight (Dane Whitman), C-list mutants Reaper and Sienna Blaze, and X-Men character The Juggernaut. Black Knight is a special case, since his last appearance in the Marvel Universe was at the end of the The Gatherers Saga, which ended a year prior. The Phoenix, a sort of cosmic entity of the Marvel Universe, is transported to the Ultraverse in the The Phoenix Resurrection, taking over Ultra Amber Hunt as its new host. After the crossover ends, Amber Hunt is sometimes mentioned on-panel in relation to the Phoenix.

Firearm is Alec Swan, Badass Normal private detective who specializes in cases involving Ultras, using a special gun. His series lasted for 18 issues, from September, 1993 to March, 1995. There was also an issue #0. A second series was called Codename:Firearm, lasting for 6 issues (June-September, 1995). But this one focused on Firearm II/Peter Cordova Lopez, a regular family man who discovers the submerged memories of his previous identity. Said identity being a Deep Cover Agent for an organization which also had connections to Swan.

Siren. Jennifer Pearson is a daughter of the Eliminator. As an infant Aladdin experimented on her, trying to give her an indestructible skeleton. They failed and deemed the child useless. Allowing the "powerless" child to grow with relatives. What they didn't figure out is that they had managed to cause a mutation, but the powers would not surface until puberty. Jennifer eventually demonstrated heightened reflexes, strength, low-key telepathy, and telekinetic control over any liquid in her vicinity. As a teenager she became a thrill-seeking Classy Cat-Burglar. At first appearing as supporting character in various series, Siren was reinvented as a mercenary in her starring roles. She starred in the one-shot Siren Infinity (September, 1995), the 3-issue mini-series Siren (October-December, 1995), and a Siren Special (February, 1996). Her series included receiving training by Taskmaster and developing a working relationship with Diamondback/Rachel Leighton.

Animal-Themed Superbeing: Being a superhero universe, Ultraverse (pre- and post-Marvel reboot) had its share of ultras named after animals. Some examples: Cayman - a member of Freex; looks like a bipedal crocodile. Culebra - a solo vigilante named Jay Alvaros that looks like a giant lizard; powers operate like Prime, meaning the "Culebra" is his "shell" or "armor".

Alternate Universe: In the one-shot Hulk Vs. Prime, Kevin Green is trapped in the Marvel Universe and tries to find his aunt's apartment in New York, only to meet a tenant in the same address in Marvel's version of New York. When Dane Whitman (The Avenger Black Knigh) was transported to the Ultraverse, he had to take a while to fit in. In one sequence, his Inner Monologue states that, in the Ultraverse's version of New York, he was "drawn" to the same address where the Avengers' Mansion was located in his home dimension.

The comic also follows the story of Robert Campbell, the previous Prototype who lost his arm due to an accident. The series lasted for 18 issues, from August, 1993 to February, 1995. There was also an issue #0, but otherwise Prototype mostly appeared in team books.

Rune is a cannibalistic alien stranded on Earth, who often feeds on Ultras (a rare example of a Villain Protagonist with his own series). So named because of the sentient runestone necklace that he wears. He has vampire-like abilities. He is reportedly immortal, with various storylines revealing him as active in the Hyborian Age, Ancient Egypt, ancient Africa (posing as Anansi), The Late Middle Ages, and The Gay '90s (where he grew interested in the work of Nikola Tesla). His original series lasted for 9 issues, from January, 1994 to April, 1995. An issue #0 reprinted Rune related back-up strips from other titles. It was followed by the 4-issue mini-series Curse of Rune (May-August, 1995). Rune Vol. 2 lasted for 7 issues, from October, 1995 to April, 1996. That was followed by the 3-issue mini-series Rune: Hearts of Darkness (September-November, 1996). There was a special "giant-size" issue and various one-shot crossovers with other characters.

The Freex: A team of superpowered, freaky-looking teenagers. As infants they were among "dozens" of infants injected with nanotechnology by a mysterious nurse who hoped to spread superpowers around. As teenagers they manifested said powers, which affected their lives in various ways. They searched for others like themselves and ended up bonding together, mostly because they had nobody else to turn to. Contrary, who might have been the mysterious nurse, tried to recruit them for her school of other Ultra-powered teenagers, but they did not trust this Evil Mentor and were always on the run from her. The series lasted for 18 issues, from July, 1993 to February, 1995.

Phade - an ultra with the power to alter her body's density, which she can also use to move through walls. Nyteflyt - a bat-like humanoid member of the Alien Elite.

Mantra is a beautiful sorceress who was really an ancient male warrior trapped in the body of a divorced mother. The protagonist Lukasz (sic) is an eternal warrior involved in an endless war. One of several such warriors, since the sorcerer leading them ensured virtual immortality for them. Whenever Lukasz or his fellow warriors were killed, their souls were preserved and then allowed to possess new human bodies. Their latest battle did not go according to plan. The sorcerer himself fell and the others' souls were disembodied. The sole survivor Lukasz awakes in a new body, that of Eden Blake. For the first time in his existence, Lukasz has to cope with being a woman. The original series lasted for 24 issues, from July, 1993 to August, 1995. Vol. 2 featured a Legacy Character. Mantra II was Lauren Sherwood, the teenaged babysitter to the original's children, who finds herself accidentally inheriting the powers and identity. The series only lasted 7 issues, from October, 1995 to April, 1996. A total of 31 regular issues from both series, plus a mini-series and a couple of one-shots.

 The Ultraverse (Comic Book) / int_c378ba5f
comment
Sealed Evil in a Duel: In the last few issues of the Marvel-rebooted Ultraforce, their leader Hardcase comes back from somewhere else. Their reunion is short-lived, as the team fight Demonseed. At the end of the final issue, Maxis creates a portal to a Limbo-like dimension, and Hardcase makes a Taking You with Me ploy against Demonseed. In the Limbo dimension, the duo are forever locked in combat, falling eternally into darkness.

Inner Monologue
 The Ultraverse (Comic Book) / int_c4c9bb40
comment
When Dane Whitman (The Avenger Black Knigh) was transported to the Ultraverse, he had to take a while to fit in. In one sequence, his Inner Monologue states that, in the Ultraverse's version of New York, he was "drawn" to the same address where the Avengers' Mansion was located in his home dimension.

Informed Judaism: In an issue of Prime Vol. 1, Kevin Green and his mother light up the candles in a menorah to celebrate Hanukkah. In the same issue, after he rescues Kelly, Prime even wishes "Happy Hanukkah" to some reporters and Kelly, to the latter's surprise.

Magic Pants: Initially averted with Kevin Green; his clothes always dissolve or shred when he summons his Prime body, so he's naked when he reverts back. Played straight later on when he finds a way to preserve his clothes even as Prime.

Magic Is Feminine
 The Ultraverse (Comic Book) / int_d884fa1f
comment
Magic Is Feminine: In Mantra, Lukasz was one of eleven extremely experienced warrior whose served an extremely powerful sorcerer called the Archimage. Any time one of the warriors fell in battle, the Archimage would reincarnate them in a new body. This arrangement went on for centuries until one of the warriors betrayed the Archimage to his Arch-Enemy, the Evil Sorcerer Boneyard. The Archimage was captured and the other warriors were killed. As Lukasz fell, the Archimage used the last of his magical strength to reincarnate Lukasz into a new body: a woman named Eden Blake. The Archimage did this because he knew that without his brother warriors, Lukasz would need new skills to battle Boneyard. In Eden's body, Lukasz could use the latent magical potential of her bloodline, and the longer he was in her form, the more he could access this power, slowly becoming a vastly powerful sorceress.

Insurance Fraud
 The Ultraverse (Comic Book) / int_df968cf
comment
Solitaire: A crimefighter whose only mission was to destroy one criminal cartel: his father's. Anton Lone grew up believing his father was a businessman. At 9, Anton experienced the disappearance of his mother. Courtesy of his father. At 14, he discovered his father was performing a large scale Insurance Fraud. Orchestrating the destruction of much of his real-estate property in bombing incidents, just to get the insurance money. By his late teens, Anton discovered his father was orchestrating bloody coups in the Caribbean. Turning on the old man, Anton tried leaking information to the press. Resulting only in a number of murdered reporters. Trying and failing to hinter his father in any way, Anton eventually grew depressed. He tried to commit suicide. Only to find himself reviving, granted a Healing Factor by an experiment of his father. Now genuinely super-powered, Anton goes on a campaign against his daddy. The series lasted 12 issues, from November, 1993 to December, 1994.

The Speedster
 The Ultraverse (Comic Book) / int_e3c5fc89
comment
The Speedster: TurboCharge, aspirant to the role of Prime's partner, was injected by his father with experimental insulin (since he is diabetic) that accelerated his internal metabolism. As consequence, he is able to run at supersonic speeds. He also uses an armored suit fitted with an injection system to regulate his insulin levels. In another series of the same universe, The Strangers, ZipZap is an African-American sixth grader caught up in a mass empowering event, and develops superspeed powers, being the only member with such powers on his team. Another Ultraverse speedster is Rush, a sole player who only uses his powers if he is paid. During a charity race against other speedsters, in a though bubble he admits his powers are nowhere near the level of the other two. In one issue of Prime, the main speedsters of the Ultraverse (TurboCharge, ZipZap and Rush) join Flying Brick Prime for a charity race. None of them wins, since they crash into each other in a Looney Tunes-esque moment.

Night Man is Johnny Domingo (alias: Johnny Domino), a Jazz musician who was also empowered by the same "bolt" that affected The Strangers; having gained the ability to hear the thoughts of evil people, he became a costumed crimefighter. Notable for being the only Ultraverse character to actually have his own (short-lived) live-action TV series. His original series lasted for 23 issues, from October, 1993 to August, 1995. Vol. 2 only lasted for 4 issues, from October to December, 1995. A total of 27 regular issues. Plus a few one-shots.

Crossover
 The Ultraverse (Comic Book) / int_eb6da8ef
comment
Crossover: Malibu had three issues published of a Street Fighter comic. The third issue had a sparring match between Ferret and E.Honda. The issue also had Ferret reading a newspaper article about Mike Haggar's wrestling comeback. Before the Marvel reboot and the "Black September" event, Ultraforce crossed over with the Avengers in the event Avengers/Ultraforce. When Marvel Comics acquired Malibu, they had a massive crossover. This was a unique crossover in that it affected the Ultraverse continuity and for a few months, two Marvel characters crossed over into the UV and joined their ranks: The Black Knight and Juggernaut. This crossover also introduced the seventh Infinity Gem but it seems as though Marvel ignored it. Another intercompany crossover was The Phoenix Resurrection: some Ultraverse comics had a short prelude in their flipsides, which lead to a two-parter titled The Phoenix Resurrection: Genesis and The Phoenix Resurrection: Revelations, where Ultraforce and the All-New Exiles allied with some X-Men and Generation X. A last crossover before their ultimate cancelation was Maximum Destruction, which ran through "All-New Exiles" #11 (their last issue), "Ultraforce" #12 and "Ultraverse Unlimited" #2.
