These two young sub are the only two characters announced yet for the squad , an in - population ominous start for one of Marvel ’s big faction .
In a novel interview with Peach Momoko , the Ultimate X - Men Divine explains the raw serial ' Armor , the use of dead body horror , and the power of adolescence .
One of the New Ultimate X-Men Has a Surprising Real-World Origin
Under Brooks ’ pen , Maystorm ’s clothing moderate buttons referencing various Marvel Hero and teams . This design chemical element also boast in Momoko ’s original New Champions painting , which debuted as a variant cover toX - man ( 2019 ) # 27 . However , since none of the characters that the buttons credit have appeared in this universe yet , and Momoko ’s Maystorm design piece of paper for the upcoming series does n’t include these release logos , it ’s likely this is just Brooks necessitate a pageboy from Momoko ’s original piece . It ’s a expectant Easter bollock , but should n’t be take too literally as a lead towards the tale .
Momoko ’s running play spins out of the frame-up ofUltimate InvasionandUltimate Universe # 1 .
BothUltimate InvasionandUltimate Universe # 1are written by Jonathan Hickman and lettered by Joe Caramagna . Ultimate Invasionis also penciled by Bryan Hitch , ink by Andrew Currie and colour by Alex Sinclair , whileUltimate Universe # 1is penciled by Stefano Caselli and colour by David Curiel .

This is a Shockingly Small X-Men Team So Far
Momoko ’s roster is so far shying away from authoritative X - Men anchor , at least in preview art . While a new Ultimate Storm , also plan by Momoko , isappearing in Bryan Edward Hill and Stefano Caselli’sUltimate Black Panther , this new humankind isstill bereft of most of its classical X - military personnel . This suggests that perhaps the Maker has dealt with definitive X - part like he has other superheroes . It ’s famed , though , that Momoko ’s roll only includes two heroes so far , so there ’s still pot of way for other eccentric to join the fledgling team .
It will be interesting to see how this limited roll impacts the story . If Armor and Maystorm feel like they ’re alone in being mutants , then it might only amplify their sense of closing off . They ’re still immature , and it ’s easy to guess that their mutantdom only exasperate theusual teenage feelings of lonesomeness . It ’s a moral force that ’s under - explored in X - Men . While there are legion squad of younger mutants , they ’re usually larger , more established , ensemble . For the newUltimateX - Men , hate and fear becomes much more virile when there ’s only a few of them .
Ultimate X - Isle of Man # 1will be available March 6 from Marvel Comics .
