In the new Ultimate Universe, The Maker, a deranged alternate version of Reed Richards, manipulated his way through the timestream to create a world without superheroes. However, when he emerges from captivity in 16 months, he’s in for a rude awakening.

In his absence, superheroes, nations, and young mutants are reclaiming their destiny in four hit titles: Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto's Ultimate Spider-Man, Bryan Hill and Stefano Caselli's Ultimate Black Panther, Peach Momoko's Ultimate X-Men, and Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri's Ultimates.

Today, you can get a sneak peek at what's to come in Marvel's new Ultimate line this November. The cover reveals and synopses for November's issues spotlight the debut of the Ultimate Black Cat and the fact she's been race-swapped is already generating discussion among fans. 

There's nothing to say this is Felicia Hardy, of course, and even if it is...who cares? There's really no reason not to make this change in an alternate reality and a greater level of diversity and inclusion in comics has been the Marvel Comics ethos from the very beginning. 

We also get learn about a showdown between the Ultimates and Hulk; more revelations behind the origin of mutants in the Ultimate Universe; and a strange new ally joining Wakanda in its war against Khonshu's forces.

@MikeyL - i actually really dig the design too. The hair gives her this wild animalistic vibe which works for black cat

@MikeyL - why aren't there ever any alternate reality versions of nonwhite characters turned white?

Every white character has a nonwite version of themselves, yet it never goes the other way.

Awwwgh [frick] she's sexy.

@TheRogue - That being she's barely black cat. Without her white mane, she's basically a diet catwoman

@TheRogue - I do think the lack of white hair is something that's taking away from visual distinction there.

@dagenspear - I wish that she at least had a white streak on her hair

@DiegoMD - Prefer white hair entirely, but that'd be a reference to it as well.

@dagenspear - 90-s Spider-Man's cartoon did it best, Felicia getting white hair transformation after her father gave her upgraded Cap's serum he was stealing for Hydra, This story was epitome of nice writing, circle jerking to cap, and reference to her father as thief working for bad guys.

Not really seeing a problem with Felicia Hardy being black.

@KennKathleen - I thank God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for the optimism He blesses upon me. Jesus is Lord!

As a devout Christian, I don't disagree about mistreatment happening in life and how, as a believer, we be against that mistreatment. It's something I think The Holy Bible says, "honor all men" among, LORD willing, other things.

@dagenspear - lol, my original comment got deleted. I think it's time to mute myself on this topic. I am certain that this is not the place to unveil the mysteries of the word of God.

Hold on to the optimism my friend. I have a feeling it's going to become a crucial asset in the next few months.

@grif - why do any of the versions of this character have their masks? They don't generally actually hide anything but the look is iconic.

I wonder is she is Robbie Robertson's daughter? Regardless, I hope Peter doesn't cheat on MJ and have an affair with her. I like that marriage and hope it sticks.

Why not make Black panther white then? Why is Wakanda a black only country? It's an alternate reality right,who cares? Why does diversity and inclusion only go one way?
UncleHarm1
UncleHarm1 - 8/9/2024, 5:34 PM
@LysergicMeinbal - Is this a legitimate question? I mean there's an obvious answer, but if I tell you are you just going to argue lol.

Race politics is a very one-sided battle. This is why we laugh at folks who talk about men's rights and white racism. Many fictional characters were created as a way to discuss social topics like racism, so their cultural identity is very important to their character. That's why Black Panther stays black, but no rational person would care if, say, they made Mr. Fantastic Hispanic.
TheFox
TheFox - 8/9/2024, 5:36 PM
@LysergicMeinbal - ... Because diversity and inclusion are meant as an explicit remedy for systemic, centuries-long white supremacy. Obviously.

It doesn't go the other way because white people already dominate popular culture. That's why other people want to be INCLUDED in the first place.

@LysergicMeinbal - It only goes one way? Strange, still seems to me that there is way more inclusion of white character around than there is of anything else.
