However, since the Ultimate comic pre-release and subsequent popularity of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. final invasion With Jonathan Hickman and Brian Hitch, Marvel has a chance to change that.
While official details about upcoming miniseries are scarce, it’s interesting to speculate. Guardians of the galaxy are a perfect fit for the Ultimate Universe, as they are already morally gray figures. After all, the Ultimate Universe is where Black Widow killed off the Hawkeye family, so there’s a lot of gap in what heroes are allowed to do and be. Guardians has the potential to become a more extreme version of a character that fans already know and love.
Star-Lord can be not only a fast-talking pirate, but also a liar, liar, and coward who manipulates others into fighting for him, which really helps keep him in line. original character. Characters like Gamora and Drax will be more ruthless killers than their current incarnations. Gamora could even start out as Thanos’ double agent in the same way Ultimate Wolverine was Magneto’s double agent, sent to kill Professor X before changing his mind. Rocket and Groot could be even scarier and more powerful. In the Ultimate universe, Rocket’s tragic origins may have left him with more scars, both mentally and physically, while Groot may have been a quieter but scarier living god. In fact, the entire group itself could be active and dangerous criminals who care less about their numbers in the interstellar world than their own.
Whether or not fans see this obvious omission from the Ultimate universe in the upcoming miniseries, it’s interesting to imagine what will happen with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 in a world closer to ours than by Marvel’s standards. The Universe has finally shaped the MCU, and in turn, it will be interesting to see something of the MCU shape it with a brand new version of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
