Ultimate X-Men: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Given his backstory in this incarnation, Doug Ramsey is a younger version of [[Jeopardy (TV)|Ken Jennings]].

** Derek Morgan is basically Archangel as a different character, instead of Angel under the influence of Apocalypse.

* [[Coattail Riding Relative]]: Initially, the Beast's parents disown him for being a mutant. Later, when the X-Men have achieved fame and (temporary) renown, they return and claim they always loved him...after they've made millions writing a book about how they lovingly raised such a wonderful young mutant.

* [[Composite Character]]: A few "Ultimate" versions of 616-X-Men are revealed as new versions of existing Ultimate characters. Specifically,

** Firestar is Liz Allan (from ''Spider-Man'')

Line 48:

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Toad and Rogue eventually defect to the X-Men.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Xavier and Magneto were this. {{spoiler|And how. Xavier left his wife for Magneto, which was a contributing factor to David's rampage. It would be hard not to infer that they were in a gay relationship, but Xavier says their bond was "stronger than love," which seem to rule that out.}}

* [[Huge Guy Tiny Girl]]: {{spoiler|Ultimate Liz Allen is the daughter of her human mother and ''the Blob''.}}

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: {{spoiler|Ultimate Liz Allen is the daughter of her human mother and ''the Blob''.}}

* [[Idiot Ball]]: Held in ''Ultimate Nightmare'', where a small team goes out to find the source of a psychic signal, assumed to be a mutant in need. Wolverine is angry (well, more than usual) that [[Lampshade Hanging|they were too stupid to turn on the news and check what was going on]] before running off half-cocked and getting roughed up by the Ultimates for their trouble.

** Liz Allen doesn't even attempt to {{spoiler|talk her brother Teddy out of joining Pietro's new Brotherhood.}}

Line 57:

** Storm even crippled someone and electrocuted a sandbox full of children (off panel.)

** Averted with Wolverine in that he not only faces retribution for the things he does but he is even held accountable for things he didn't do. For example Jean threatens him, and actually follows though with it, f he ever things of her in a sexual way again. Despite the fact that she was fully complacent in their affair.

* [[Kill Em All]]: Of all the Ultimate titles, ''X-Men'' got hit the hardest in ''Ultimatum''. The casualty list - which includes {{spoiler|Xavier, Cyclops, and Wolverine}} - is probably longer than the list of surviving mutants.

* [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall]]: Not usually, but in issue #54, where they're taking on Mojo and his reality show, there are a few instances. Apart from in-universe examples of [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] on Mojo's show, there is Dazzler staring straight forward out of the page and declaring the concept to be a "rip-off of The Running Man".

* [[Love Triangle]]: Jean, Scott, Wolverine as well as Kitty, Bobby, Rogue.

Line 65:

* [[Mind Rape]]: Xavier erases Magneto's mind after the first arc and has him living his life as a peaceful civilian. When it gets reverse, Magneto was very, very angry at the revelation.

* [[Not So Different]]: Both Charles and Magneto are both manipulative and petty in their own special way, and just as uncompromising in their beliefs.

* [[Non Action Guy]]: Doug Ramsay is the only non-mutant at his school, he's just ''really'' smart.

* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Doug Ramsay is the only non-mutant at his school, he's just ''really'' smart.

** He wasn't the only non-human, Emma Frost was very proud of the fact that it was human-integrated. He was just the only important one.

* [[Omniscient Morality License]]: Xavier thinks he has one.
