Line 18:
* [[Achilles in His Tent]]: {{spoiler|Captain America after the events of Death of Spider-Man.}}
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Tony, even a robot double that impersonates him.
* [[Alien Invasion]]: Luckily {{spoiler|it's an [[Easily
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: Ultron
* [[America Saves the Day]]: Deconstructed. The team is American, but other countries start worrying about the Ultimates being used in ''their'' countries, whether they like it or not. There's also several European Super-Soldier initiatives {{spoiler|including Thor, who is really a Norwegian nutjob who stole the prototype tech for his country's hero. Except in the end he [[Physical God|really isn't]].}}
* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]: the Chitauri
* [[Anti
* [[Anti Hero Substitute]]: The Ultimate Avengers are a team of anti-hero substitutes for the, er... anti-heroes of the Ultimates.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Especially after the [[Creator Breakdown]] that led to ''Ultimatum''.
Line 30:
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Quicksilver is ''very'' protective of his sister.
* [[Bishonen]]: Loki
* [[Brother
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Hank Pym
* [[Clock King]]: Herr Kleiser and Loki
Line 46:
* [[Different As Night and Day]]: Gregory Stark and Tony Stark in Ultimate Comics: Avengers. {{spoiler|Becomes a case of [[Cain and Abel]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Divided States of America]]:}} {{spoiler|Following the [[Ultimate X-Men|Sentinels rampaging in the Southwestern states]], along with the destruction of Washington D.C. and most of the government, Texas declares its independence from the union.}}
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Fury's [[Super Empowering|empowering]] in ''Ultimate Origins'' is eerily reminiscent of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment.
** Sweet Christmas! It sure looks a lot like Luke Cage/Power Man's origin.
** The Chitauri, [[Shapeshifting]] [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|reptiles]] clearly culled from popular conspiracy theories, especially those of [[Conspiracy Theorist|David Icke]] - who was a key influence on Ultimate Thor.
Line 75:
* [[Legacy Character]]: Doctor Strange from the start, {{spoiler|Wasp and Hulk}} as of Ultimate Comics Avengers.
** Monica Chang {{spoiler|aka the second Black Widow}}
* [[Luke, You Are My Father]]: Ultimate [[Red Skull]] is {{spoiler|Cap's illegitimate son}}.
* [[Magic Pants]] Subverted. The Hulk's pants often don't survive battle. Cue [[Scenery Censor]]. In volume 1 he steals the pants from a dead fat guy.
** The Wasp's usually nude before or after a size-change, too.
Line 115:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Goes hand in hand with [[Oh Crap]]. Honestly, if someone tries to say that {{spoiler|Thor ''isn't'' the god of thunder, and is instead a deranged scientist}}, they will proved wrong mere moments later.
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Nobody seems to do anything about Hawkeye's obvious PTSD.
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: [[Smug Snake]] Kleiser's repeated reaction to any event he hasn't planned for is a [[Dull Surprise|blank stare]] and a stunned "...What?" which is apparently Chitauri for "[[Oh Crap]]".
* [[Too Happy to Live]]: Pietro and Wanda being incestuous wasn't a bad sign. It was being so joyful about it.
* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]: {{spoiler|Ultron}}, surprising absolutely no one -- except, once again, Giant-Man.
Line 124:
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: The Chitauri
* [[Who Shot JFK]]: It was {{spoiler|Red Skull.}}
* [[Who Would Want to Watch Us?]]: The team discusses who would play themselves in a film adaptation.
* ~Why Won't You Die?~: Heroic example, Cap says it about Kleiser.
