History ComicBook / UltimateInvasion

* ForWantOfANail: Much to the Maker's own confusion, Earth-6160 never had a Super Soldier program, and therefore never had a Captain America at all. Even he can't figure out what became of that world's Steve Rogers.

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:By the beginning of issue 2, the Maker has succeeded in his goals. He's rewritten the history of Earth-6160 so that most of its heroes never existed or are out of the picture, and he's adored by the world as the man who helped fix everything. Except some people are still trying to kill him.]]

* AGodAmI: The Maker thinks of himself (and Miles) as "children of the gods".

* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: In the first issue's epilogue, "Great Artists Steal", the Maker [[spoiler:is in Earth-6160, at an earlier point in time than either Earth-616 or Earth-1610. He makes a point of squashing the irradiated spider that's about to bite Peter Parker, preventing the possible creation of Spider-Man]].

* SpeechBubbles: The Maker has his speech bubbles written in sentence case ([[spoiler:as do the inhabitants of Earth-6160]]). The residents of Earth-616 (including Miles Morales) have speech bubble dialogue written entirely in capital letters, the style that the Franchise/MarvelUniverse comics originally used.

* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: In the first issue's epilogue, "Great Artists Steal", the Maker [[spoiler:is in Earth-6160, at an earlier point in time than either Earth-616 or Earth-1610. He makes a point of snatching the irradiated spider that's about to bite Peter Parker, preventing the possible creation of Spider-Man]].

He makes a point of squashing the irradiated spider that's about to bite Peter Parker, preventing the possible creation of Spider-Man]].

* PetTheDog: The Maker delays his plan just to visit Miles and offer him a chance to go back to their home reality, saying it would've felt wrong ''not'' to offer. When Miles turns him down, Reed leaves without a fuss. Admittedly, it's the Maker, so it may not be quite as legitimately benevolent as it seems...

The first issue was released on June 21, 2022.

* BodyHorror: The four mercenaries who attempt to free the Maker are messily [[{{Permafusion}} reshaped and fused together]], then reassembled as a [[CloneByConversion indistinguishable copy of the Maker]], correct down to the genetic level. Or at least that's the plan - one of them isn't the person he was expecting, so there's a margin of error. The copy later [[ImMelting collapses into gore]] when T'Challa and Reed Richards visit him. Both scenes are pretty unsettling - the initial merger shows horrified expressions on the betrayed mercenaries faces, as well as details such as distorted hands stretching through other people's skulls.

And then there's [[Characters/UltimateSpiderManMilesMorales Miles Morales]], Spider-Man, the legacy hero who replaced Earth-1601's Peter Parker when he died. Miles is part of Earth-616 now, but the Maker hasn't forgotten him...

* ImMelting: The [[CloneByConversion Maker's duplicate]] collapses into a heap of gore as soon as Reed Richards questions it. It's left ambiguous as to whether this would always have happened, or whether the unexpected genetic composition made

Set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, with a focus on Marvel's {{Alternate Universe}}s, it follows on from the events of the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel titles and the ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' event, a CrisisCrossover that ended many of those universes.

On Earth-616 - the world where most of Marvel's superhero stories are set - [[Characters/FantasticFourTheFantasticFour Reed Richards]] is a hero, a scientific genius, a superhero and one of the ComicBook/FantasticFour. On Earth-1610, his counterpart became the Maker, a FallenHero who turned his genius to monstrous things.

After Earth-1610 was seemingly destroyed, the Maker plagued other realities. He was eventually captured on Earth-616 and imprisoned, held in a special prison with the highest security level possible. It won't be enough.

The Maker has a plan to leave the universe of Earth-616 behind, to do great things elsewhere... the Illuminati, the shadowy alliance of Earth's greatest heroes, will want to stop him, of course. But they're not going to find it easy.

Or at least that's the plan - one of them isn't the person he was expecting, so there's a margin of error. The copy later [[ImMelting collapses into gore]] when T'Challa and Reed Richards visit him.

* BodyHorror: The four mercenaries who attempt to free the Maker are messily [[FusionDance reshaped and fused together]], then reassembled as a [[CloneByConversion indistinguishable copy of the Maker]], correct down to the genetic level. Or at least that's the plan - one of them isn't the person he was expecting, so there's a margin of error. The copy later [[ImMelting collapses into gore]] when T'Challa and Reed Richards visit him. Both scenes are pretty unsettling - the initial merger shows horrified expressions on the betrayed mercenaries faces, as well as details such as distorted hands stretching through other people's skulls.
* CloneByConversion: The mercenaries who break in to free the Maker are [[BodyHorror melted down]] and [[FusionDance forcibly merged]] into a duplicate, who takes his place when he escapes. His captors are fooled for a couple of weeks, until Reed Richards and T'Challa visit the cell.
* FatalReward: The mercenaries who break into the Maker's cell were promised a billion dollars. They're actually [[BodyHorror melted down]], then [[FusionDance fused into a single being]], a [[CloneByConversion copy of the Maker]], and left to take his place when he escapes. They [[ImMelting collapse into a puddle of gore]] a couple of weeks later, during Reed Richards and T'Challa's visit.
* FusionDance: The four mercenaries who free the Maker were carefully selected due to their genetic profiles. They're [[BodyHorror forcibly restructured and merged]] to create a [[CloneByConversion plausible imposter]], who then takes his place in the cell. One of them wasn't the man the Maker had specifically requested, so the impersonation isn't perfect on a genetic level, but it's still enough to fool his captors for weeks.

* SpeechBubbles: The Maker (and [[spoiler:the inhabitants of Earth-6160]]) have their speech bubbles written in sentence case. The residents of Earth-616 have speech bubble dialogue written entirely in capital letters, the style that the Franchise/MarvelUniverse comics originally used.

* LeakingCanOfEvil: The Maker, imprisoned in a hi-tech, maximum security prison on the edge of the other-dimensional Negative Zone, was supposed to be sealed away forever. He was visited by a rotating team of therapists, for fear that he'd find a way to reprogram them. That didn't stop him - it just took a little longer, 37 sessions, to corrupt the full team and send them back into the world as his minions. In turn, they recruited a team of mercenaries to help him escape when his grand plan was ready.

And then there's [[Characters/UltimateSpiderManMilesMorales Miles Morales]], Spider-Man, the legacy hero who replaced Earth-1601's Peter Parker when he died. Miles and his family are part of Earth-616 now, but the Maker hasn't forgotten them...
