COMICS: Captain America Becomes [SPOILER] In ULTIMATE COMICS ULTIMATES #15

In Ultimate Comics Ultimates #15 and next week's #16, Steve Rogers makes a decision which will change EVERYTHING. Unsurprisingly, Marvel have spoiled the surprise in The Washington Post and so you can find out exactly what he does right after the jump.

As "Divided We Fall" continues, this Wednesday's Ultimate Comics Ultimates #15 will see Captain America take on a very different role in the Ultimate Universe. He becomes President of the United States. According to The Washington Post, Steve Rogers is a non-campaigning write-in patriot who wins by a landslide and agrees to answer, "the people's call." This is certainly a first for comics (although the DC Universe did once see the villainous Lex Luthor become President) and series writer Sam Humphries had this to say about the sure to be controversial decision. "We wanted to dramatize an extreme version of what we see in America today. In the face of all [this] divisiveness, what do we have in common? What does it mean to be an American? What can we agree on? And what makes America the place that it is?"

In the storyline, the United States is in chaos as San Francisco is teeming with refugees, Detroit is being run by a dictator and Washington D.C. has been decimated. He’s not a politician — he’s not interested in focus groups, so what will Cap be doing in the Oval Office? "Are we going to see 12 issues of Captain America behind a desk? No, that’s not exciting to anyone," adds Humphries. "Captain America is not going to behave like any other president behaves. He takes the oath of office and barely takes a breath as he goes to hot spots. . . . Cap is out there because he’s so concerned about the state of the Union that he doesn’t have time to think about the State of the Union." How do you guys feel about Captain America becoming Commander in Chief? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

I may be part of a minority but the Ultimate Universe is actually better than the main universe right now.

"Ultimate", eh? I love how Marvel has redefined that word to mean "mediocre"...

that sounds kind of [frick]ing retarded

At least Lex was a billionaire and Philanthropist in the public eye who would have some idea of management.

@Dickel

Where are you from? Do you live in a true democracy, under a corrupt regime, or perhaps in a country run by a dictatorship? Our politicians may not always meet the highest standards or make the right decisions, but at least we live in a functioning democracy in which the majority can vote out leaders with whom we're dissatisfied. Most of the world's population can't say the same.

I liked the old Stern/Byrne story from the early 80's when a independent party was tryin' to get Cap to run for president, and after much soul searchin', he turned 'em down. And the old "What If" story when Cap actually becomes president, but not real sure how they'll handle this.

I actually like the Ultimate universe right now. I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been done before. Also, can you guys whine some more? Everyone complains that Marvel doesn't crank out new ideas (true), but when they do, those same people bitch about it. We're not reading Ulysses, guys. Come on.

Anything to get rid of Obama huh? Screw this. Cap is so great because he makes you want to follow him to hell, not because we have a social obligation to. I think it takes away from the character, but I do feel like the right writer can possibly make an interesting twist out of it. Just not interesting enough for me to go out and buy it. My two cents...

I'd sure vote for Cap over both of the losers the 'major parties' are offering this year. Vote for more of the failures of the last four years or go back to the failures of the previous eight years. Gee, what a choice!

I normally have zero use for the ultimate universe, but this could actually be a good idea if it's done right.

Nomis and Gary 8264: Haven't thought about those stories in a long time! Greatness! Cap had some good reasons why he turned them down when asked to run for President as I recall.

I have a shirt with that cover from Cap #250 on it that I wear on patriotic holidays. Because what says 'patriotic' more than Cap?

Hey But- ahem, I mean "PROFESSOR CHAOS"- let Obama do his shit. Clinton said he was good, so he's good. Got it?

@manymade1 &IronManny819: Totally agree. It's laughable that the same people go into AVX threads and whine about how nothing ever changes, but then go into every Ultimate thread to whine that it's all too different. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. *cue Ben Bailey reference*

You can tell when people don't read The Ultimate Universe line of books. I guess they haven't been reading Spider Men either. I honestly swear most people on this site read comics years ago and are out of touch with the current storylines and just get on here to be critical of everything and everyone! Geez us!
malschla
malschla - 9/18/2012, 7:26 AM
@Judecheung: Exactly! That's what is so fun about the Ultimate Universe. Anything can happen! I like the 616-universe... but it is refreshing to see a truly different universe, unlike most of the other universes in comics that are mostly glorified "What Ifs".

but there will be a reason why he will give it up shortly thereafter.

Still, i'd love to see where they take it, as I enjoy any story that deals with "ok, the heroes are truly in a place to make the world better. can/do they do it?"

I believe that the ultimate universe/ movie/616 are melding together i think thats the end game of marvel now,and I don't like it. We have lultimate nick fury heading the new shield in 616 and just so fans don't go crazy their calling him his son. He if he was he would look more like the rock than sam Jackson. Hawkeyes costume from the movies has made it to the 616 the movie team , is the new avengers main team.

Only cool thing would be that cap turns evil because of all the power of the president and becomes a new tyrant and a new set of heroes have to stop him since marvel killed off basically all the cool ones in ULTIMATUM.
