History Characters / TheUltimates

* DropTheHammer: {{Mjolnir}}, naturally.

* DropTheHammer: Wields Mjolnir, which was given to him by Thor.

A scientist working for the Super-Soldier program, who replaced Bruce Banner. He reverse enginnered his mutant wife's shrinking powers, allowing him to turn into a "giant". It was the first success of the program, but it did not herald a bright career. He was quickly and unceremoniously taken down by Hulk in the Ultimates' first fight, he commited domestic abuse against his wife and tried to kill her, Captain America broke his bones for it, his formula was taken by S.H.I.E.L.D. and used to create an entire platoon of Giant Men (even bigger than him), Nick Fury doesn't want any of his inventions (not even for free), he joined a "super group" of mere fanboys with no super powers, he joined an international conspiracy against the US, he was incarcerated, the Wasp was killed during the Ultimatum wave and he was killed before he could try to revive her.

* ButtMonkey: In vol 2, though he really has it coming. The rest of the Ultimates hate him, he gets humiliated with the Defenders, his new girlfriend asks him to dress up as Captain America (which he does), and during the Liberators arc even his robots sass back at him.

* DomesticAbuse: Pym and the Wasp have an argument at home. It soon escalates into a fight, with Pym slapping Jan. She attacks him at wasp size, but he uses bug spray on her, and when she retreats under a heavy desk, Pym uses his helmet to set an army of ants on her. Then he escaped, leaving her for dead. Afterwards, Betty Ross admits this sort of thing has been going on since they started dating.

* JerkWithTheHeartOfAJerk: But for the most part, falls into this. He's an egomaniac even though he simply took credit for replicating Janet's mutant abilities. He is a domestic abuser of Janet. He lies to a 19 year-old to sleep with her, and joins a Terrorist group plotting to overthrow the US Government.

** His spectacularly rude way of describing who he thought was a good casting choice for Bruce Banner in a hypothetical movie, which Bruce catches the end of, causes him to take actions that not only cause the return of the Hulk, but also mean it's for ''good''.

* BlessedWithSuck: His original origin (later retconned into a ShowWithinAShow) has him as a mutant who's extra-smart at the cost of a sense of touch so sensitive just touching air without a special suit was horribly painful.

* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: Compare to his mainstream counterpart's abusive upbringing, this Bruce doesn't have that problem.
* AdaptationalCurves: Inverted. While mainstream Banner wasn't exactly muscular-looking, Ultimate Banner is far more scrawnier than him.

* AdaptationNameChange: They're Franchise/TheAvengers with a different name.

* HealingFactor: Even being cut in half doesn't stop him, which is why they had to call in the Hulk, since only he could do enough damage to put him down

* RapeAsBackstory: The Red Skull had his men gang rape her, after he forced her to kill her husband before killing their son.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: It's ''very'' clear he's suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after [[spoiler:his family's murder]], and yet nothing's being done about it. * ThereAreNoTherapists: Ultimate Hawkeye's family was killed and he's still working with the Ultimates, despite it being pretty obvious that he has PTSD.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: It's ''very'' clear he's suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after [[spoiler:his family's murder]], and yet nothing's being done about it.

* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: He's (physically at least, if not mentally) younger then any of the Ultimates.

* CompositeCharacter: While largely based on the original Steve Rogers, his personality traits have more in common with John Walker/ ComicBook/USAgent or a toned down version of the 50's Cap, William Burnside

* AdaptationalVillainy: Or TruerToTheText than even Garth Ennis, this Punisher has absolutely no qualms in killing ''everyone'' involved in criminal activities including drivers and bag men. In particular he has no qualms in killing children or teenagers if they are criminals. Something of a line that most takes on the Punisher avoid.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: He tries to go out as calmly and dignified as possible though Hulk pounding him senseless puts a damper on his attempt at a monologue.

* See [[ComicBook/UltimateFantasticFour The Maker]]

* AdaptationalWimp: Ultron is usually comprised of Adamantium and generally very diffcult to destroy, here he gets his head ripped off fairly quickly and that's the end of him.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: She looks more like goth BDSM dominatrix than the queen of Hel.
