History ComicBook / TheUltimates2015

* TheGhost: At the climax of issue 100, all the previous iterations of Eternity appear, save number four, who is still... ''elsewhere'', prophesiced to return eventually.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Extremely idealistic. The Ultimates mandate is to ''solve'' problems rather than resort immediately to violence, the only exception is for [[OmnicidalManiac Thanos]], and they indeed succeed in solving the problems of Galactus and the Infinaut, which were otherwise [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt world-enders]]. [[CosmicEntity Incarnations of abstract concepts and other cosmic beings]] are portrayed not as AboveGoodAndEvil, but often as understandable individuals and in some cases have true personhood with standard comic-book morality. The [[spoiler:Ultimates are able to make allies of previous opponents such as Anti-man, the Troubleshooters and the original Ulitmates team.]] Finally, the Living Tribunal gives hints that the balance of this new universe is set to be slanted more towards good, rather than shoehorning in a pure neutral morality, and [[spoiler: the One Above All is the narrator of the final book, and he approves of how this universe is coming along.]]

-->'''Blue Marvel''': "Have you ever fought a ''Cthulhu''?"
-->'''Giant Man''': "Uh... Not ''yet''..."
-->'''Blue Marvel''': "When you ''do'' -- give us a call."

* HeadbuttingHeroes: This is most prominent on the team between T'challa and Adam, though their shared dedication towards getting the job done overrides their extensive political differences.
** And ''then'' ''Civil War II'' happens, putting the team at odds with one another.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Like the Psi-Force from their original series, the Troubleshooters can pool their Psi-Force powers together to summon Emmet in his Psi-Hawk form from it. Like the trope namer, he is [[PhysicalGod powerful enough to confront cosmic beings]], and they're all [[BroughtDownToNormal powerless]] for as long as he is manifested. And Tensen notes that he can actually be even more powerful.

* BothOrderAndChaosAreBothDangerous: Order and Chaos both try to violently impose StatusQuoIsGod on Galactus. They (particularly Order) only get worse in the second volume...

* AwesomeArt: Kenneth Rocafort does some miraculous in the opening arc.

** [[spoilers: In issue 10 (100), T'Challa uses the powers of the Tiger God to escape being confined on Earth, due to Hydra's planetary shield, to fight on the cosmic plane.]]

** During Galactus' lecture on time, he shows glimpses of [[ComicBook/XMen Cable, Bishop]], Deathlok, and the Avengers from the future of ''Ultron Forever''.

* ThePrimeEarthTheory: After ComicBook/SecretWars2015, 616 became the "Prime Earth". According to [[spoiler:the Maker]] in [[ComicBook/TheUltimates2015 The Ultimates 2]], this means it's the "hub" the rest of the Multiverse revolves around. As a result the laws of reality are more flexible: science and magic are interchangeable, and higher levels of existence can be accessed more easily.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Extremely idealistic. The Ultimates mandate is to ''solve'' problems rather than resort immediately to violence, the only exception is for [[OmnicidalManiac Thanos]] and they indeed succeed in solving the problems of Galactus and the Infinaut, which were otherwise [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt world-enders]]. [[CosmicEntity Incarnations of abstract concepts and other cosmic beings]] are portrayed not as AboveGoodAndEvil, but often as understandable individuals and in some cases have true personhood

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: A chain of these, starting with Master Order and Lord Chaos get beaten down by Galactus the Lifebringer. During the trial of Galactus, Master Order and Lord Chaos bristle at Living Tribunal's declaration of Galactus's innocence. So they took a page out of what Galactus just did and kill the Tribunal with a single blast. Logos and the Death Celestials get jumped by the Eternity Watch, the Never Queen's new host of Celestials and the Tiger God (who's been fused with the Black Panther). Finally the First Firmanent get beaten down by the Ultimate Ultimates - the previous Eternities that have crossed back from death.]]

* SuperTeam: A bunch of high end ones appear in this series. The weakest of these are the [[spoiler: original Ultimates]], then there's Troubleshooters who are strong enough to give a decent fight to the Ultimates. Next in strength are the Ultimates (2017). Then we get into the real cosmic level with [[spoiler: the Eternity Watch: who are made of new CosmicEntities Ego-Prime, Galactus the Lifebringer, Psi-hawk and the Infinaut]] and taken UpToEleven with [[spoiler: the Ultimate Ultimates, who are the previous Eternities]].

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: A few fans have suggested the team is one for the ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica, as its core members all seem to evoke the core team - Blue Marvel to Superman, Black Panther to Batman, America Chavez to Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel to Green Lantern, and Spectrum to Flash - and their purpose is also similar to the classic Justice League motivation.

* CanonImmigrant: Issue 6 introduces Emmett Proudhawk, [[spoiler:albeit posthumously, slightly.]]

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:After everything's over, the Living Tribunal is resurrected, and prepares to have a talk with Master Order and Lord Chaos.]]

** The Maker has made some changes to reality, summoned some allies, and asked if his work was cool or uncool. [[spoiler:Ultimate Captain America said "Cool, doctor Richards. Definitely cool". Ultimate Cap had a similar scene with George Bush in the first Ultimates arc.]]

** The Celestials introducing death to existence and subsequently creating the multiverse to contain the [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters now rogue entities]] responsible for it is a plot point introduced back in X-treme X-men. Here it is mentioned by the First Firmament and one of the reasons it pushed for their extinction out of spite.

* BigBad: [[spoiler: The First Firmament, aka the first universe before Eternity existed.]]

* ChekhovsGun: Owen Reece's room outside everything returns in issue 7. Galactus goes there to recover his strength, but Owen himself is nowhere to be seen.

* SmugSnake: The Maker, once again, [[spoiler: being too arrogant and overconfident to realize he's being manipulated by the First Firmament.]]

** In issue 6, the [[spoiler:First Firmament]] names the Death Celestials "aspirants" and "astro-gods". The Aspirants were mentioned in Kieron Gillen's ''Iron Man'' to have previously fought a horrific war against the Celestials, and the Astro-Gods were noted in ''Marvel Boy'' to be from "the first firmament", and powered by acts of genocide. Ewing leaves no stone unturned. Also of note, in ''Iron Man'' it was noted another name for Aspirants was "tyrant". Since they serve [[spoiler:the omnicidal first universe, whom the Celestials rebelled against, now we know why.

* WalkingSpoiler: Ultimates 2 #10 will be renumbered as Ultimates #100, in line with the "Marvel Legacy" brand (all the previous volumes are added and counted as one, to generate the new number). Any discussion about who appears in this issue (and in the end of #9) can become this trope very easily. Thought he cover already kind of spoils it.
