->'''Kleiser:''' The world was about to go up and you were about to surrender in these few brief moments we have left. Let me hear you say it... "I surrender, Herr Kleiser. Make it quick"
->'''Captain America:''' Surrender? SURRENDER??!! You think this letter on my head stands for 'France'?
"The Ultimates" was a 2002 miniseries, written by Creator/MarkMillar, with arts of Bryan Hitch. Set in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe, it was a reimagination of ComicBook/TheAvengers, renamed as "ComicBook/TheUltimates".
Once upon a time, during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, the nazis received the help of an alien race, the Chitauri. They built a super rocket, that they would use to end the war. Captain America, the only super human ever created, died making it blow up in the sky. Then we jump to the XXI century. There is an increasing activity of superhumans, so Nick Fury started arranging a superhero team. He had Tony Stark and the Wasp, and Bruce Banner working in the supersoldier serum that created Captain america, and which is now lost. Pym makes a breakthrough of his own and gets the power to change into a giant (thus dubbed "Giant man"). Even more, Captain America is found frozen in the artic, and still alive! And yet, even having the actual Captain America around for study, Banner is still unable to replicate the super soldier serum. Feeling useless next to the others, he inject himself with a mixed dose of his old Hulk serum and Captain America's blood, and turns himself into Hulk. He wreaks havok across the city, until the Ultimates (joined by Thor) finally take him down.
Remember the Chitauri? They did not flee at the end of the war. They had regrouped, and started a big plan. The Ultimates located them to Micronesia, and drop in to blow up the place. However, it was a trap: the Chitauri had actually infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. But it was actually useless, as the main Chitauri fleet arrives and tells them that there is no time to purify earth because of cosmic reasons, so let's just blow it to kingdom come. This leads to an all-out battle between the Ultimates and the Chitauri. Thor teleports the bomb to another dimension, and Captain America and Hulk finally defeat Kleiser, the leader of the Chitauri band.
