Trivia / AR1996 Ultraverse

• Author's Saving Throw: After a friend of his told him that killing off Quinlan Vos in his Ultraverse version of Star Wars negates his Earn Your Happy Ending fate in the Legends continuity (though the reason why he killed him off was due to his frustration towards Lucasfilm sparing him with plans to use him for a future project that went nowhere), he decided to reverse this decision and spared his fate, though also reversing the Spared by the Adaptation on most of the Jedi who initially survived Order 66 (barring Luminara Unduli and Shaak Ti) in this version.
• Creator Backlash: The creator has admitted that Barriss' original fate in the Ultraverse in which she decides to leave the Jedi by joining Bo-Katan's Mandalorian squad, was in hindsight not a good idea after all due to his friend pointing out the team's reputation of being violent and murderous soldiers and said that he struggled to create a better fate than having her killed in action in the Legends canon or revealed to be the bomber of the Jedi Temple in the main canon.
• Creator's Favourite Episode: AdrenalineRush1996 has cited the Titans/X-Men Mega Index for the Ultraverse among his favourite works, added to the fact that the Titans is his favourite DC Comics team and the X-Men is his favourite Marvel Comics team.
• Hypothetical Casting: For the Ultraverse versions of Star Wars and Star Trek, the creator has respectively pictured Sebastian Stan and Florence Pugh as Luke and Mara's children Owen and Kira, hence why Owen looks like an younger and taller version of his father Luke (see Identical Grandson in the main page) as well as Olivia Wilde and Jared Padalecki as Han and Leia's children Jaina and Jacen Solo along with Rosamund Pike as Christine Chapel since as for the latter, the Ultraverse version of Star Trek: The Original Series is based on the original and the Kelvin alternate reality.
  • He's also pictured Brad Hawkins as playing the Ultraverse incarnation of Justin Stewart along with Reuben Langdon as playing the Phantom Ranger, who in the Ultraverse is Zordon and Dulcea's son Zoltar.
  • He has pictured the Ultraverse incarnation of Mutt Williams, going by his real name Henry Jones III to be played by Alden Ehrenreich, as a nod to his role as the younger version of Harrison Ford's character Han Solo in Solo: A Star Wars Story as well as depicting Logan Lerman as Henry Jones IV along with Oscar Isaac as Dirk Pitt.
• Inspiration for the Work: The creator has cited Earth-27 and GURPS as notable influences on the Ultraverse.
• Missing Episode: Of a sort. While the content from July 2021 to December 2023 were restored after the two-day suspension, the details of each entry were unfortunately blanked out barring the description and tags. Unlike the September 2020-June 2021 entries, which were under the site's old editing tool Sta.sh, the aforementioned entries were under the new editing tool following their Eclipse relaunch and unfortunately, weren't archived like those from Sta.sh.
• Refitted for Sequel: A lot of the scrapped ideas are incorporated into this series.
  • The Enterprise's original name is Yorktown, a nod to the starship's original name in early concepts of Star Trek: The Original Series.
  • Scott and Alex Summers being cousins of Buffy and Dawn Summers is a nod to Joss Whedon's aborted idea of the vampire slayer being related to the X-Man in his X-Men run.
  • Acxa becoming the Purple Paladin is a nod to the original plans to have her becoming a Paladin of Voltron in the seventh season finale of Voltron: Legendary Defender, though having her being Hunk's replacement rather than being the Sixth Ranger like in this one.
  • Wolverine being related to Sabretooth is a nod to Chris Claremont's original ideas of having the latter being the former's father though in this continuity, the latter is the former's nephew.
  • Spider-Man being the father of his ex-girlfriend's children Gabriel and Sarah is a nod to J. Michael Straczynski's original plans for the character in his run before Executive Meddling from Joe Quesada forced him to change the identity of the father to Green Goblin, a move that angered many fans and arguably the reason why Sins Past and Sins Remembered are considered among the most hated Spider-Man storylines.
  • Rey's last name Solana is a nod to Colin Trevorrow's surname for the character in Duel of the Fates, his original plans for The Rise of Skywalker before his departure due to Creative Differences.
  • Tim Drake being the new Nightwing is a nod to Tom King's original plans for the character in his Batman run.
  • The Big Hero 6's rogue gallery having a trio of female criminals called the Fujitas is a nod to their Deleted Roles from the original script of the 2014 film.
  • THX 1138 being part of Star Wars is a nod to the Canon Welding of the two in Alien Exodus, a proposed novel set in the Legends continuity that was eventually reworked into Alien Chronicles, though the original plot was incorporated into Star Wars: Cult Encounters and Supernatural Encounters.
  • The Orville being part of Star Trek is a nod to the series' origins as Seth MacFarlane's pitch for a new Trek series to CBS.
• Series Hiatus: The series took a seven-month break from December 2021 to July 2022 and then an eleven-month break from December 2022 to November 2023.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Days prior to the shutdown and eventual reactivation in December 2023, he announced plans to include Atomic Betty and Blue Eye Samurai along with updating some of the entries from Star Trek and Star Wars to include characters from Strange New Worlds for the former and from Visions for the latter.
  • In relation to the shutdown and reactivation, he admitted on his main DA account that in hindsight, he should've archived the series on Google Drive for it to be posted on Archive on Our Own as a backup plan if something went wrong.
• Word of Gay: According to the creator himself, the reason why Iceman is openly bisexual than openly gay in his continuity is because he wasn't happy with Brian Michael Bendis' handling of the character's sexuality in his X-Men run as well as acknowledging that bisexual men don't have much representation (with one of the notable exceptions being John Constantine and even his bisexuality has been downplayed or not even referenced in some adaptations) when compared to bisexual women, hence averting the No Bisexuals trope.
