Is the Phoenix Force About to Be Unleashed on the Ultimate Universe?

These two series, “Ultimate X-Men” and “Ultimate Wolverine”, offer distinctly unique takes on mutant comics. “Ultimate X-Men” deviates significantly from traditional X-Men stories, employing horror and manga elements to weave its narrative. On the other hand, “Ultimate Wolverine” follows a more conventional path, focusing on Wolverine’s struggles against his Winter Soldier programming and introducing familiar mutants to readers. Despite their differences, they share a common objective: portraying mutants resisting an oppressive government that exerts complete control over them. “Ultimate Wolverine” delves deeper into the Eurasian Republic than “Ultimate X-Men”, particularly with its confrontations against Ni Ho Kuni’s government. In line with this, issue #7 of “Ultimate Wolverine” continues this trend, concluding with a shocking revelation that could reshape the entire Ultimate Universe.

The comic series “Ultimate Wolverine” features many familiar X-Men characters, often in unexpected manners. For instance, in issue #4, we encounter several Omega-level mutants like Professor Xavier and Jean Grey, who goes by Phoenix here. This sparked interest among readers as it hints at the fate of the Phoenix Force within the Ultimate Universe. Issue #7 serves as a chilling reminder that the Eurasian Republic wields one of creation’s most potent forces.

The Eurasian Republic Needs a New Weapon After Losing the Winter Soldier

As a passionate movie reviewer, let me share my thoughts on a gripping tale: The Eurasian Empire, notorious for its sinister biological experiments, captures the legendary mutant, Wolverine. Transformed into the Winter Soldier, Wolverine’s fate takes an unexpected turn under the guidance of Dr. Alonya Prostovich. Recognizing the challenges in controlling such a formidable force as Wolverine, Dr. Prostovich devises an ingenious solution. The Eurasian Empire possesses the Cerebellum, a powerful telepathic device capable of tapping into the minds of two of the most potent mutants. One is the deceased Charles Xavier, whose consciousness survives through his brain connected to life support, and the other is Jean Grey, whom they codename the Phoenix specimen. The Empire harbors knowledge about the enigmatic power of the Phoenix, but lacks the means to unleash it. However, the latest issue of Ultimate Wolverine #7 might just shatter this status quo.

The absence of the Winter Soldier inflicts a significant setback on the Eurasian Republic. Though a lone lethal operative might appear suboptimal, Wolverine is virtually indestructible. He can be thrust into almost any predicament and will persist. Even if he’s severely wounded, he typically completes his assignment. He serves as the Eurasian Republic’s most effective weapon against their adversaries due to his heightened senses and ability to penetrate through their defenses. With the Winter Soldier gone, the Eurasian Republic has lost its easiest means of dealing with its foes.

Following her failure to maintain control over Wolverine, Magik imprisons Prostovich in Limbo as retribution and to extract any information she might have been holding back about him. Faced with demons from Limbo, Prostovich pleads for her life, ultimately revealing a way to eliminate the Opposition. This spares her life, and Magik and Prostovich share this news with Colossus, explaining that Prostovich needs time to execute the entire plan effectively. This proposition appeals to Colossus, potentially marking a significant shift in Earth-6160’s power dynamics.

The Phoenix Force Could Doom Earth-6160 or Be Used Against the Maker

In the vast cosmic realm called the Multiverse, the Phoenix Force stands as one of the mightiest energies. It embodies the strength of death and resurrection, capable of virtually anything. Marvel readers have witnessed Phoenix Force wielders performing astonishing acts. The potential of the Phoenix Force is almost limitless, making it exceptionally perilous. This power can corrupt even the strongest, as every user of the Phoenix Force has encountered issues with its control at some stage. The Eurasian Republic finds itself unaware of the cataclysmic force they now possess, and their world could be in grave danger as a result.

Jean Grey’s mastery over the Phoenix Force stems from years of rigorous self-control. Without such discipline, 6160 Jean Grey might not have been able to handle the power responsibly, potentially leading to catastrophic consequences. Similarly, transferring the Phoenix Force to Colossus or Magik could also be risky, given their past experiences with this power as depicted in “Avengers vs. X-Men.” The Phoenix’s emergence poses a threat not only to the Eurasian Republic and the Maker, but also to the world at large. If the Opposition gain control of it, they might bring about peace. Ultimately, the direction the Phoenix’s power will take remains uncertain.
