!!!'''First Appearance:'' ''Free Comic Book Day 2024: Ultimate Universe / Spider-Man'' (2024)

* {{Unperson}}: For some reason, no-one in his universe as ever heard of Captain America. Odder still, it's implied this isn't ''all'' the Maker's doing.

* DragonAscendant: With the Maker sealed within The City, his absence has left an EvilPowerVacuum and his council have taken to tightening their grip on the world for their own gains.

* OtherMeScaresMe: He is the Maker's worst fear. And it goes the other way, as Reed managed to figure out who the Maker was, and does everything he can to stop him.

* ManInTheIronMask: It's not quite clear is Reed can't or just won't remove the mask.

* EveryoneHasStandards: The first time his forces attack the City, his troops have orders to only hit "acceptable" targets; namely those who are affiliated with the Maker or who attack them. By ''Invasion'' issue #4 he foregoes this, and standing orders become attack everyone but one.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Despite the Maker's efforts to prevent any possible threat to his plans from occur, Kang was someone he did not foresee. And his introduction sparks the events that lead to the Maker getting trapped in the city and Iron Lad and Doom deciding to undo all the damage he's caused.

* {{Unperson}}: For some reason, no-one in his universe as ever heard of Captain America.

%%!!!'''Alias:'''

* FutureBadass: It's implied that he'll become Kang the Conqueror.

* InSpiteOfANail: Almost all of the members are noticeably different from their 616 counterparts in some way, from Hulk being much more zen to Captain Britain now being French.

* FrenchJerk: Henri Dugarry, Captain Britain. Even if he were not a willing part of a coalition of supervillains secretly controlling the world, he's just generally pretty smug and arrogant.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Subverted with the Hulk. While he initially seems quite regretful at the thought of the power games necessary to maintain the Maker's system of control over the world, when it looks like it might be threatened he has no problem causing the deaths of hundreds of innocents and framing Tony Stark for it.

!!!'''Alias:''' Mister Fantastic, The Maker
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Ultimate Fantastic Four'' #1 (January 2004)

The Reed Richards from the previous Ultimate Universe, and the one who altered the course of Earth-6160's history as an experiment. He secretly rules the world from the shadows, and has altered the trajectory of those who would have become the world's heroes.

[[folder:The Maker's Council]]
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Ultimate Invasion'' #3 (August 2023)

A gathering of superpowered beings from across the planet, who assist the Maker in controlling the world behind the scenes. Their members include the Hulk, Sunfire, Silver Samurai, Viper, Captain Britain, Khonshu and Ra, Magik, Colossus, Omega Red and Emmanuel da Costa.

* DragonAscendant: With the Maker sealed within The City, his absence has left an EvilPowerVacuum and his council have taken to tightening their grip on the world for their own gains.
* InSpiteOfANail: Almost all of the members are noticeably different from their 616 counterparts in some way, from Hulk being much more zen to Captain Britain now being French.
* LegionOfDoom: The Maker's assembly of underlings on Earth-6160 consists largely of characters who are villains on Earth-616, [[spoiler:and are in on his plan to control the world.]] The Hulk stands as the seeming TokenGoodTeammate, horrified by what they do but feeling there's no alternative. [[spoiler:Howard Stark disagrees.]]
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Of the eleven of them, there are only two women present, Viper and Magik.

[[folder:Doom (Reed Richards)]]
!!Reed Richards
!!!'''Alias:''' Doom
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Ultimate Invasion'' #2 (July 2023)

Originally destined to gain superpowers and found a superhero team, the Maker altered his destiny and made him into the image of Earth-616 Reed's archnemesis.
----
* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: Compared to the original Ultimate Reed. Seemingly out of pure spite, the Maker tries to break him and turn him into his own version of Doctor Doom... and it doesn't work. While he ''looks'' like Doom, in the end, this Reed is just as noble as Earth-616's Reed, and is able to use his position as the Maker's prisoner to help Howard defeat him and then usher in an age of superheroes.
* CompositeCharacter: He's Reed Richards, but has the look of Doom. He doesn't have magic or stretchy powers, but his intelligence is still there.
* FateWorseThanDeath: The Maker imprisoned him and toyed with him so much that he lost track of all time. This was also after faking his death.
* GoodCounterpart: The Maker is often described as Reed Richards if he were Doctor Doom. Here, the Reed Richards of Earth-6160 literally ''becomes'' Doctor Doom due to pure pettiness on the Maker's part. However, he maintains his heroism rather than allow himself to be broken like the other Reed was, turning him into an outright heroic version of Doom who opposes the Maker's meddling with his universe.

[[folder:Kang]]
!!Unknown
!!!'''Alias:''' Kang
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Ultimate Invasion'' #3 (August 2023)

The time-travelling opponent of the Maker, from the future of Earth-6160. He leads an army of Avengers clones. He's heavily implied to be Tony Stark.
----
* TheAgeless: Claims to be as such, though whether he means it literally or metaphorically is a little unclear.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Has the look and name of one of the biggest foes of Earth-616's Avengers, but in ''Ultimate Invasion'' his only attacks are focused solely on the Maker, who has turned Earth-6160 into his personal petri dish. Exactly what Kang plans to do ''after'' he kills the Maker goes unspecified.
* BrokenPedestal: If he is Tony, somewhere along the way he grew to hate Howard, as he speaks to him with disdain when they meet.
* CompositeCharacter: He's your usual Kang, but his costume is Iron Man armour and the ending of ''Ultimate Invasion'' implies he's Tony Stark, with Tony taking on the Iron Lad moniker (616 Iron Lad ''is'' Kang) and Howard's look of dejection after removing Kang's mask, while Kang also refers to the events of the series as his "origin".
* DeathByOriginStory: He lampshades his battle against the Maker as his origin, and he dies in it.
* EveryoneHasStandards: The first time his forces attack the City, his troops have orders to only hit "acceptable" targets; namely those who are affiliated with the Maker or who attack them. By ''Invasion'' issue #4 he foregoes this, and standing orders become attack everyone but one.
* TimeTravel: He's from the future and the Maker ran into him when visiting it. Kang himself time travels, but his timeline is affected by changes in the present, likely a reason for his secret identity.
* TheUnfettered: By the end of ''Invasion'', he tells his troops there is no cost too high to pay if it gets rid of the Maker.

----
