I was starting to wonder where you'd gone.  You went almost three weeks without posting!

I really like the Ultimate Marvel Universe – I think Ultimate Spider-Man is probably my favorite comic and has been for years now.  The primary difference between the characters in the two "realties" is that the UMU characters never shut up.  Bendis has made Elektra chatty, for chrissakes.  Elektra! 

Bendis writes Peter Parker as someone who's suffering from post-trauma, and who was so deeply traumatized by the deaths of his parents and then his uncle that he probably won't ever get much better.  For Ultimate Peter Parker, the secret identity isn't primarily about the traditional things – it's about avoiding the positive benefits of doing good things for other people.  Peter doesn't want good things to happen to him.  He believes he has no role but to suffer to lighten other peoples' burdens.

The underlying point of the UMU is that everyone wants to have superpowers.  It's like being on TV in the real world – and we all know the crazy, degrading shit people do to get on TV.  If it was possible for people to have superpowers, everybody would want them, just like everyone wants to be famous and rich.  So of course Jen Walters will give in and take the serum – anything else would be out of context.

Weren't the last few episodes aired in Canada already?

The legs are undermuscled relative to the upper torso, but goddamn!

Is she taking her ID card out of her decolletage?  Ha!  I kinda like her.  I wonder what might prompt her to take the hulk serum?  Also, until it happens and she turns out hot, we shouldn't count our chickens.  They've introduced several Marvel characters as pathetic parodies of themselves.  Son of Satan, Nighthawk, Power Man and Valkyrie are all comic relief.  Sinister is delusional.  She-Hulk might turn out to be just another hideous, mindless pile of muscle.  Alternatively, she may have perfected the formula and simply become a model of human perfection, like Captain America.  (Ultimate Cap has super powers, btw – he's very strong, he is extremely resistant to injury and he is extremely agile.  He's been seen leaping across chunks of Manhattan, like Peter Parker can do without webs.)

I can remember the MUDs back in the late 80s and early 90s on the BITNET.  People got addicted to THOSE, and they were merely text-based.
