Marvel’s Ultimate Universe Secret Council Members and Their Shocking Roles

by

As I delved into the latest game, it dawned on me that global harmony was an unattainable dream for The Game Creator. Instead, he devised a cunning plan to seize absolute power over our world and its inhabitants. To execute this scheme, he established a clandestine cabal of supervillains, tasking them with ruling the earth and orchestrating global conflicts in line with his intricate strategies.

He partitioned the world into seven distinct domains, granting each council member unfettered authority over their assigned territories. This shadowy coalition, working behind the scenes, coordinates every significant event worldwide.

Even though the villain was confined within the city following the Ultimate Invasion, The Maker’s covert Council, consisting of influential figures, persisted in functioning. They bided their time, waiting for the return of their leader. Despite the emergence of the Ultimates, who aim to dismantle them, this secret Council has managed to keep control over the world.

Khonshu and Ra Exert Their Influence By Force

The sun and moon gods seek to control all of Africa

In their quest to unravel the enigma surrounding Wakanda’s most revered asset, Vibranium, the Egyptian deities Khonshu and Ra, ruling over Africa’s upper and lower domains, have mobilized their Moon Knight forces in a bid for conquest. These enigmatic siblings, known for their unique, puzzling reasoning that confounds other divine beings, now aim to seize Wakanda as their own, revealing the secrets of the precious metal hidden within its borders.

During the battle, T’Challa successfully overpowered Khonshu and locked up his brothers. Nevertheless, these two powerful adversaries pose a significant danger to Wakanda and the global community. Operating through physical strength as well as exploiting their divine status, they gather followers towards their agenda. In issue #4 of Ultimate Black Panther, Khonshu employs a fragment of Vibranium to execute miracles in a village near Wakanda, causing resentment against the nation and its secrets. The influence of Khonshu, Ra, and their Moon Knight followers is rapidly approaching their potential on the Council, making it only a matter of time before they assume their full positions.

Emmanuel Da Costa Holds The Money

Da Costa runs most of the world’s corporations

Emmanuel Da Costa serves as head of the South American Society and boasts the highest net worth among Council members. He exerts significant influence over global economic systems, while simultaneously holding the reins of the Hellfire Club, which owns an overwhelming number of major corporations like Roxxon Energy. In addition to his substantial wealth, Da Costa wields power over criminal activities in Brazil and possesses mutant abilities that allow him to manipulate fire and light through a mysterious source.

Da Costa wields his power mercilessly, as the corporations under his dominion practically rule every corner of the globe, stretching far beyond South America. While Roberto is a key element of his power base, the wealthy monarch also relies on other offspring for their blood to maintain his youth and vigor. Within the Council’s ranks, Da Costa appears to hold a significant position of authority. He presided over their initial gathering in Ultimate Invasion #3 (by Jonathan Hickman, Bryan Hitch, Andrew Currie, Alex Sinclair, and Joe Caramagna), and later championed the decision to divide the North American Union following The Makers’ confinement within the city.

The Sun Emperor Keeps Watch Over The Mutants

The three rulers of Japan have total control of their nation

In the realm of Fire Nation, also known as Hi no Kuni, Emperor Sunfire is a divine ruler who occupies the Chrysanthemum Throne. He is often addressed as the Heavenly Sovereign. Initially, Sunfire shared leadership with Silver Samurai and Viper, who led the other Pacific clans until they merged into the Harada-Yoshiba alliance. Although these three leaders have not been extensively depicted, they are the powerful figures behind the Children of the Atom mutant cult in the Ultimate X-Men series. They have managed to confine almost all mutants within the borders of Hi no Kuni.

In the Ultimate X-Men #7, we discovered that Viper serves as the voice while Silver Samurai functions as the blade for Shiro Yoshida, whose intentions regarding mutants remain a secret. However, it was also revealed that the cult’s mastermind, known as the Maester, takes orders from Viper. The trio of rulers are overseeing the experiments being conducted on mutants, although the nature of these experiments is yet to be clarified. Emperor Sunfire has been observing the mutants closely and seems to have grand ambitions for them.

Captain Britain Was The First to Face The Ultimates

The French monarch is as ruthless as he is wealthy

Henri Dugarry governs the European Coalition as Captain Britain, armed with the Amulet of Righteousness and Sword of Strength. The potent artifacts greatly amplify his abilities, allowing him to extend his dominion by seizing a portion of the North American Union following Howard Stark’s uprising. In “The Ultimates” #1 (written by Deniz Camp, Juan Frigeri, Federico Blee, and Travis Lanham), Duggarry was the first to engage in battle against the newly-formed Ultimates squad, accompanied by his military force, The Black Crusade.

In addition to his new territories in the North American Union, Dugarry holds significant financial power over Kingpin and the Sinister Six, amplifying his national influence. Notably, Captain Britain is not only a prominent figure but also a formidable foe to the Ultimates, managing to come close to killing Thor and controlling an army of Bullseye assassins. Moreover, Dugarry’s conquest of the mystical land of Avalon, a realm steeped in ancient magic that transcends space and time, adds to his ominous potential and suggests other hidden talents he may wield.

The Rasputins Are Ruthless Warlords

The leaders of the Eurasian Republic only care for blood

In contrast to other council members who aim to increase their wealth and power, the Rasputins prioritize amassing more resources – specifically, human bodies – to further The Maker’s ideology. To suppress the emergence of mutants, they relentlessly pursue and eliminate them, using any means necessary. They also control the Winter Soldier, a powerful assassin, who executes their sinister orders and helps maintain their iron-fisted rule over the nation.

Among the three leaders, Colossus appears to be the one in charge, known for his aggressive nature. In #2, Piotr insists on confronting the Winter Soldier personally, arguing that men like him respond only to force and asserting his ability to overpower them and demonstrate true might. Alongside Illyana and Arkady Rossovich, aka Omega Red, the Rasputins are each formidable villains in their own right, but united, they become almost impossible to defeat.

Hulk Is The Master Of The Living Weapons

The Incredible Hulk became enlightened

In a transformed version of events, Earth-6160’s Incredible Hulk reigns over Asia and the Western part of the North American Union. Upon transforming into the Hulk, Banner mastered his anger and evolved into a devout pacifist and leader of the Enlightened Children of Eternal Light, an organization that champions tranquility and resists anger. Hulk, having mastered his powers, subdued the Seven Cities of Celestial Heaven, yielding the Immortal Iron Fist and governing the other Immortal Weapons.

In the comic book “Ultimate Universe: One Year Later,” Nick Fury asserts that Hulk is the strongest entity in existence and poses the greatest threat, estimating his followers to be in the billions. This is further emphasized in “The Ultimates” issue 6 by Deniz Camp, Juan Frigeri, Federico Blee, and Travis Lanham. Even formidable characters like She-Hulk of the Ultimates were no match for the Immortal Hulk, who effortlessly dismissed her with a swat similar to brushing away an insect alongside Iron Fist. As his power increases through patience and finesse, Hulk not only emerges as The Maker’s strongest soldier but appears to serve as his right hand, exerting considerable influence over the other members of the order and seemingly orchestrating many of their strategies following The Maker’s imprisonment.
