Reed Richards was more or less permanently stretched out by this point. Whatever technology Stark used in the construction of his cell kept him from really using any strength to move his limbs around or, really, move at all. And yet he realized when he wasn't alone anymore. He was isolated to the point where he could tell when there was another ( Read more... )

The thought of a one-on-one meeting with Captain America was terrifying enough before he was President. But to have it here, at Peter's grave, the day after they fought a war... Well, that was a kind of terrifying that Jessica never thought could exist. But it did! Oh, it did.

( In which I rationalize the complete lack of Jess and Miles in Ultimate Comics The Ultimates after United We Stand )

Even though people had been allowed back in their homes after recent lockdowns, the streets of New York were still fairly empty. And so the SHIELD van carrying Spider-Man and Spider-Woman had no problems driving up to Miles' home without drawing suspicion ( Read more... )

So, this was fairly amazing. Here stood Jessica Drew, Spider-Woman, along with a few hundred of her closest friends from the Ultimates and SHIELD, standing behind Captain America as he took the oath of office. She now worked side by side with the President of the United States. And because he was a full-fledged Action President, the second he was ( Read more... )

This was not at all what Jessica expected for her mission. Fury and a small team had gone to Tian in the former Southeast Asian Republic to get help against the City. Stark and Thor were off doing Stark and Thor things. And so Jessica was here at the Triskelion as Ultimate backup, just in case things went south and someone was needed. But she could ( Read more... )

"Dude. Dude, you're a superhero." The kid who said that - Ganke - was probably going to be Miles Morales's greatest liability in keeping a secret identity. Fortunately, Miles seemed to realize that.

( Yesterday you bought yourself one chance. )

There he was. Spider-Man. Perched on a gargoyle, lost in thought. And then as he leaped from the gargoyle toward another rooftop, he laughed with utter glee, like that was the most amazing thing in the world. And you know what? It kind of was ( Read more... )

A few days had passed since the battle against the City. Fury just left for Washington to try to keep the politicians from doing something idiotic. Iron Man was going out to address the attempted assassination on himself a couple weeks ago. Thor was recovering from his assault on the City, but hey, at least he also brought Captain Britain back ( Read more... )

So, today had been interesting. Jessica was mildly injured in battle (for which she was stuck in the med center under observation tonight and would be on bed rest for another couple days in her loft, which, yeah, that was going to happen) while the Ultimates lost so hard. Then she had a painkiller-fueled phone call with Sia (where she probably said ( Read more... )

So, the world was basically ending. Tony Stark was almost assassinated with a nuke, then had to rescue Thor in Europe from the Children of Tomorrow, a group of advanced humans who came from a big expanding dome called The City. All of the Asgardian gods save for Thor and his son Modi (hidden away with Mjolnir in the World Tree) were slaughtered ( Read more... )
