| 1 | * AwesomeDearBoy: Creator/MarkMillar actively pushed for Marvel to create an ComicBook/UltimateMarvel version of the Avengers, of which he was a huge fan. |
| 2 | * ExecutiveMeddling: Millar was not allowed to actually use the name "Avengers" due to Marvel believing that the brand recognition was dead in the water at the time. Millar even stated that Marvel tried to offer him an ''Ultimate Wolverine'' book in an attempt to dissuade him. However Creator/KurtBusiek would later reveal that he requested that Marvel not use the ''[[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' name so his work on the mainstream title would not be overshadowed. |
| 3 | * FollowTheLeader: The Scarlet Witch started with her usual powers. In ''Ultimates 3'' it turns out that she's a RealityWarper, so strong that she could bring dinosaurs from the past! This is probably the result of ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled'' and ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'', which redefined her powers in the main continuity in the same years the first volumes of the Ultimates were produced. |
| 4 | * ScheduleSlip: Four storylines were illustrated by Bryan Hitch (Ultimates, Ultimates 2), Joe Madureira (Ultimates 3) and Frank Cho (New Ultimates) all suffered from this. |
| 5 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 6 | ** Millar and Hitch were working on a story titled ''Civil War''. Then Millar got the chance to write Marvel's crisis crossover of the year, so he declined that project, and adapted some of his ideas to the ''ComicBook/CivilWar2006'' comic instead. |
| 7 | ** Millar considered [[RaceLift Race Lifting]] Steve Rogers into a black man. |
| 8 | ** The writers did not actually consult with Creator/SamuelLJackson to use his likeness in the comics for Nick Fury. If they hadn't been able to work things out amicably, the series would have very likely resulted in being ScrewedByTheLawyers. |
