[Prophet Tenebrae]

That's a shame Lurker, I thought we were making a pretty good team on that thread… although I'm pretty sure beyond having Viola superpowers I wasn't really sure what I was going to do with it. Although I suppose the best way to continue would be if Robin goes a bit crazy and tries to get an army or something – resulting in global Amazon Flu… although I'm fairly sure that all the sex tourists would have managed that soon enough.

Anyhow – speculation aside, here is the latest episode:

Yeah, the Bobillo style is well suited to all the characters in the current title EXCEPT She-Hulk… but she's getting done by a whole lotta people in #100.

Personally, I already feel the Ultimate Universe is – in someways – too closely paralleling the regular MU. Not just that but they've already done plenty of things poorly. Ultimate Fantastic Four is just horrible… started out ok but they ruined Doom. DOOM! There are plenty of ways they could have redone him that made him cool and not a carbon copy of his marvel character

Ultimate X-men has been pretty up and down and the fact that all the stories are all wrapped up in 6-8 issues leaves little room for excitement. Ultimate Spiderman has been diabolical from what I could bring myself to read of it and the run up to "Gah Lak Tus" has been almost painful.

In many ways, the Ultimate Universe isn't really any attempt at producing new material. Just a way of reaching new readers by not have decades of backstory to be intimidate by, while also reeling in existing fans with slightly new takes on old favourites and of course, the benefits of basically not having to come up with any new characters or stories – merely taking old ones and making them grittier and sticking in a few hundred references to i-pods.

Ah, rant-tastic. Anyway – quiet your blasphemous mouth 😉 We want Ultimate She-Hulk (so long as she is done well) 😀

If that did happen – he could never acknowledge it. It would essentially mean you'd have claim to royalties or some such. It's for that very reason that comicbook creative teams aren't generally allowed to officially go near fanfic.

Thanks for that Ze Fly, lovely scans 🙂

Yeah, Hulk wasn't looking too angry or anything.

But really, I don't see how Fury could think Wolverine is a match for Hulk – if he has a healing factor comparable to his regular MU counterpart. I mean, in the MU Wolverine "killed" him but Hulk just regenerated. Look what happened here – Wolverine ripped in two.

As to Jennifer… I don't think she'll be downing the Hulk serum to run off and save Bruce, I think he's big enough and ugly enough to look after himself. Jen might just secretly want to be a superheroine, I guess.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

You know how these things go – power levels aren't set in stone, they vary over time and from writer to writer.

In the case of Rampage – being able to give Supes a run for his money was probably her mistake. Angries up the fanboys that kind of thing.

Just speculation. Now though, I imagine the new Supergirl is the most powerful female.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Goodness, people wanting more…

Well – I had been considering having some kind of showdown between Robin and a further enhanced Viola…

And as The Lurker Unleashed seems to be a on a hiatus, I may just sneak in an episode – time permitting.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

I think that Jennifer's disposition isn't just wild… it seems kind of like she's a bit reckless and slightly unhinged. I know it's unlikely but perhaps her being more open is a side-effect of her experimenting on herself with the hulk serum? Probably not but it's just a thought that occured to me.

It's important to remember that Banner was/is emotionally disturbed and he ended up using the Hulk serum combined with captain America's blood because he basically felt like a failure both with Betty and with trying to replicate the success of the original Super-Soldier formula.

There is no evidence that Jennifer is like that or that she'd take that kind of risk. Unless she is secretly manic or a risk taker or something. As has been supposed elsewhere – it seems more likely that it would be via an accident or some kind of event that forced her to take it (duress, an emergency, the possible theft of the serum etc.) Of course, 5 issues to go – and as they say – anything could happen in the next half hour.

But I have to agree with you Lingster – they have messed up several characters… I was foaming at the mouth when they made Mr. Sinister little more than a simpering moron fawning after Apocalypse. It's far from a given that Ultimate Jennifer Walters will become an Ultimate She-Hulk that the fans will like… there are so many ways it could go horribly wrong.

The danger is of course hope.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Well – hands up who thinks Rick should be in charge of the "birth" of Ultimate She-Hulk. That was gratuitous and unashamed FMG, I love it.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Is that Titania as in THE Titania? She dyed her hair?

And wow – that's a lot of fem muscle.
