[[quoteright:350:[[ComicBook/UltimateXMen https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rco023_5.jpg]]]]

* The Hobgoblin is Harry Osborn, killing two birds of the [[Comicbook/NormanOsborn Green Goblin]]'s legacy (Harry following in his father's footsteps and the Hobgoblin) with one stone.
* Likewise, the Demogoblin is Comicbook/MaryJaneWatson.
* Ultimate Jessica Drew[=/=]ComicBook/SpiderWoman is an OppositeSexClone of Peter Parker, introduced in the Ultimate Clone Saga as the only Spider-Clone not to die or go completely mad, and who then sets off to forge her own identity. So she's a combination of [[Comicbook/SpiderWoman the 616 Jessica]] and Ben Reilly[=/=]Comicbook/ScarletSpider. After ''[[Comicbook/CataclysmTheUltimatesLastStand Cataclysm]]'', Jessica also becomes the [[LegacyCharacter newest]] Comicbook/BlackWidow. Her costume also evokes the second Spider-Woman, Julia Carpenter, and she even used Julia's name as an alias.

* Ultimate ComicBook/DoctorOctopus was the MadScientist behind Comicbook/TheCloneSaga, taking the role of 616's Jackal.
* Liz Allan, who was mutant-phobic for a long time, discovers she's herself a mutant - this universe's Firestar. In a great twist of irony from the writer, she is helped to accept her newly activated powers by Spidey and Bobby "Comicbook/{{Iceman|MarvelComics}}" Drake, in a story arc titled ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends''.

* Comicbook/{{Carnage}} is Gwen Stacy.

* Comicbook/{{Nova}} is Rick Jones.

!!''Comicbook/UltimateXMen''

* Proteus is a composite of the original Franchise/MarvelUniverse Proteus (Kevin [=McTaggart=], son of Moira and Joseph [=McTaggart=]) and Comicbook/{{Legion|Marvel Comics}} (David Haller, son of Comicbook/ProfessorX and Gabrielle Haller). Ultimate Proteus is David Xavier, son of Moira and Professor X.
* Comicbook/{{Cable}} is actually Comicbook/{{Wolverine}} from the future rather than Nathan Summers, the future son of Comicbook/{{Cyclops}} and Madelyne Pryor. This version of Cable received a mechanical arm not from a technorganic virus but rather due to Comicbook/{{Apocalypse}} ripping Wolverine's arm off and absorbing his healing factor, forcing him to get a replacement.

* Lady Deathstrike is a Japanese thief who had some history with ComicBook/{{Storm}}, apparently borrowed from Earth-616's Yukio, who is close friends with Storm and has a past history as a thief alongside Comicbook/{{Gambit}}.

!!''Comicbook/TheUltimates''
* In the original comics, Comicbook/{{Valkyrie|Marvel Comics}} was the result of the mind and essence of an Asgardian warrior named Brunnhilde being placed inside the body of a young human woman named Barbara Norris. Ultimate Valkyrie ''is'' Barbara Norris, who was simply given superhuman abilities and an enchanted blade by Loki.

* The Leader from ''Ultimate Human'' combined elements of the Classic Leader with [[ComicBook/{{Excalibur}} Peter Wisdom]]. The latter should not be surprising, considering [[Creator/WarrenEllis the creator of the original Wisdom wrote it.]] The Leader is also a case of DecompositeCharacter as Samuel Sterns, the Leader of Earth-616, appears as part of the Roxxon Brain Trust, in the ''ComicBook/UltimateDoomsday'' trilogy.
* Ultimate Comicbook/BaronZemo is actually Comicbook/{{Loki}}.
* The Ultimate-[[CanonForeigner exclusive]] character Tyrone Cash is basically Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk's Mr. Fixit [[SplitPersonality per]][[DecompositeCharacter sona]] combined with ComicBook/LukeCage.

* Also, in the original comics, Scorpio is Nick Fury's brother Jake. Here, Scorpio is a cover identity Fury uses to infiltrate Comicbook/{{HYDRA}}.

* [[Comicbook/AntMan Henry Pym]] created a robot and named him Comicbook/{{Ultron}}, but the robot named himself Yellowjacket instead. In the mainstream comics, Yellowjacket is another superhero identity of Henry Pym. Pym ends up taking on the Yellowjacket identity after Ultron is destroyed.

!!''Comicbook/UltimateFantasticFour''
* The Maker shares many elements with Comicbook/DoctorDoom. He's also likened to be the counterpart of Avengers foe, Comicbook/KangTheConqueror, until an actual, {{Gender Flip}}ped Kang shows up. She herself is an example of this, since she's a FutureBadass version of [[spoiler:[[Comicbook/InvisibleWoman Sue Storm]]]] instead of Iron Lad of the ComicBook/YoungAvengers.
* Likewise, Ben Grimm turns out to have the powers of Comicbook/WonderMan. (Simon Williams [[DecompositeCharacter also]] exists in the Ultimate Universe and calls himself Wonder Man, but he ''doesn't'' have his classic powers, basically being another Hulk).
* Machine Man is Danny Ketch, infected by the Gah Lak Tus nanites, not a robot as in 616 continuity. And Danny Ketch is supposed to be ''ComicBook/GhostRider'' II, so this makes him a stand-in for Kenshiro "Zero" Cochrane, the cyborg ComicBook/GhostRider2099, as well.

!!''Comicbook/UltimateThor''

* In ''Ultimate Captain America'', Frank Simpson is based on the comics character of the same name in terms of origins and appearance but his status as a Captain America during the Cold War is taken from William Burnside, albeit in the 1960s instead of the 1950s.

* Much like in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMantheAnimatedSeries'', the Kingpin takes over Roscoe "the Fixer" Sweeney's role as the man who ordered the death of Jack Murdock.[[note]]Granted, ''Film/Daredevil2003'' also had Fisk play a role in Jack's death, but there, he took Slade's role as the actual killer of Jack[[/note]]

* Liz Allan, who was mutant-phobic for a long time, discovers she's herself a mutant - this universe's Firestar. In a great twist of irony from the writer, she is helped to accept her newly activated powers by Spidey and Bobby "Comicbook/{{Iceman}}" Drake, in a story arc titled ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends''.

* Like ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' before it and ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', the alien Lucifier is AdaptedOut and his role in Xavier's crippling is given to Magneto.
