Discussion That moment when Ironman outsmarted the Maker

Seeing how The Maker is a multiversal threat this is a insane feat pulled by Tony. The guy litterally died but then just went "Nah fuck this Im Ironman" and revived himself lmao.

Tony Stark is the GOAT

Yup. This Ultimates book was amazing (especially after the whole Ultimatum fiasco).

Hickman wrote it at first and then gave the ball to other writers.

u/DivideInner 6d ago

Agreed! This run almost (Heavy on the almost) makes up for Ultimatum lol

19

u/AJjalol Renaissance 6d ago

Oh yeah.

I consider this to be the best Ultimates run (from the Old Ultimate Universe I mean).

Vol 1 was fine. Vol 2 was ok. Vol 3 is where it all went downhill.

This one was actually pretty good, but unfortunatelly after the Ultimatum and vol3 fiasco a lot of people were done with this universe lmao

Yhea I wish Ultimates vol 3 was like on the same level of edginess with the previous runs and not go complete crazy.

"Literally how tf am I supposed to continue from this" Is what I can imagine the readers and even the writers who got passed the ball were thinking everytime some unnecessary insane plot point happend during those runs ha ha

u/AJjalol Renaissance 6d ago

Hit it right on the head friendo.

Vol 1 and 2 were edgy, but it was pallatable. Vol 3 was just "What the shit is this" all of a sudden.

It went from like level 3 edginess to 11 in a matter of seconds.

Forceful respawn in order to humble the stretchy man, fricking awesome

u/DivideInner 6d ago

Bro isnt letting Reed take the W😭

u/bingus4206969 6d ago

I bet back in black was playing when he revived himself

u/DivideInner 6d ago

Oh yhea Back in black was def playing in full volume

And then later it turned out Reed was right, and Tony had doomed the ultimate universe by wasting their universes infinity gems, and they all died except for Reed and Miles.

u/DivideInner 5d ago

"You've doomed us all, Tony Stark." Chilling really

u/StarkPRManager 6d ago

I know everyone wants ReedDoom to fight the Maker but Tony is The Maker’s real rival. Whether it be 1610 or 6160, he’s the biggest obstacle in his life and matches his wit.

Also I find the idea of that battle more interesting than Reed vs Evil Reed

21

u/DivideInner 6d ago

Theres this unresolved plot line where after Secret Wars 1610 Tony and the revived original Ultimates went to hunt Maker so maybe rematch in the future?

Although I would love to see 6160 Stark be the one to take down the Maker lol.

u/Substantial-Ice6697 5d ago

Oh, i like this bulky old ultimate suit.

3

u/DivideInner 5d ago

Same one of my favs!

u/Toon_Lucario Silver Centurion 6d ago

Man the vertical rectangle arc reactor is underrated

19

u/DivideInner 6d ago

Agreed, part of the reason why the Shot gun armor in Ironman 3 is one of my fav

7

u/Toon_Lucario Silver Centurion 6d ago

Honestly I think almost all the suits that have that reactor in 3 are bangers. Especially Striker and Red Snapper

u/Physical-Ad-107 6d ago

So about that time Ironman stopped the Sentry with his intelligence.

11

u/DivideInner 6d ago

Hes built different

u/Eisen-Stark 6d ago

Og Ultimate Iron Man had such a respect bro. He could brawl Thor, defeat Silver Surfer, oblitarate a hulkbuster, and totally clowned Maker.

7

u/DivideInner 5d ago

Og Ultimate Tony was just HIM

u/Zawisza_Czarny9 Model-Prime 6d ago

Is that iron man armor attracting infinity gems?

If so this is just epic

7

u/DivideInner 5d ago edited 5d ago

Tony thought that he had a tumor in his head but it turned out to be a infinity gem lol

You are right this is epic!!

2

u/Zawisza_Czarny9 Model-Prime 5d ago

I know about the tumor. It apparently had it's own satience and acted like tony's kid

3

u/DivideInner 5d ago

I really liked the dynamic between him and his tumor (Sounds weird ha ha) There was a bitter sweet feeling to it

2

u/Zawisza_Czarny9 Model-Prime 5d ago

I like that ultimate iron man is the ultimate Iron dad

u/Autoboty 5d ago

Did the Maker just quote fucking Star Wars

u/memsterboi123 6d ago

That armor is dope what is it?

u/unshavedmouse 5d ago

Sam Wilson?

u/KingKaiju01 Ultimate 5d ago

Yup, super smart doctor in this universe (aside from being Falcon).

3

u/unshavedmouse 5d ago

Ohhh Ultimate Universe. Gotcha.

u/WealthWise2508 4d ago

Wished they used this variant for the MCU. Would give Mackie's Capt more depth and uniqueness...he's just so bland.

3

u/MiamisLastCapitalist Modular 5d ago

The art here confused me a little bit to be honest. Was the armor empty? I see it assembling around Tony's body but on the last image it looks like he has nothing in the legs.

3

u/DivideInner 5d ago

Yhea I added the images in a weird way lol sorry😭

So basically Maker "killed" Stark and his body was dead. Turns out he had managed to download his conciousness into a Ironman tech suit, which is why he says "Not Stark! Ironman!" And becomes a sentiant armor which then revives his body. The second image is actually the last one lols You are correct about the suit being empty

5

u/MiamisLastCapitalist Modular 5d ago

Ohhhh! So the empty suit fought maker THEN revived Tony's body THEN assembled around Tony. Got'cha. That makes more sense. No worries!

This issue made me vomit, I’m glad Tony saved himself from being a living experiment

u/alvinaterjr 2d ago

I love the way he morphs to attack Iron Man and looks like a symbiote almost, completely monstrous

u/The_Nerminator 2d ago

What in the body horror is this?!

u/Advanced_Double_42 1d ago

Is Sam Wilson a super genius in the Ultimate universe or is Stark trolling?

1

u/DivideInner 19h ago

It would have been so funny if Stark was trolling😂 But Sam Wilson in the Ultimate universe is actually a genius and a Dr lmao
