''Ultimate X-Men'' is a 2024 comic book series by ''Creator/MarvelComics'', written and drawn by Creator/PeachMomoko, with Zack Davisson credited for script adaptation. It's part of Marvel's second ''ComicBook/{{Ultimate Universe|2023}}'' line.

Although it's linked to the wider Franchise/MarvelUniverse, the Ultimate Universe is an AlternateUniverse within the same continuity, where the meddling of the supervillain known as the Maker has ensured that the world, and its superheroes, take a very different path.

Hisako Ichiki wants to live her life amidst the international chaos that's now brewing, but fate has other plans when she starts manifesting strange new powers.

The first issue was released March 6, 2024.

!!''Ultimate X-Men'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* CanonImmigrant: Maystorm originated from Peach Momoko’s ''X-Men'' #27 New Champions VariantCover, which wasn't part of the ''ComicBook/{{Ultimate Universe|2023}}'' setting.
* DieOrFly: Hisako's powers first manifest when her bike is hit by a car. They save her, but the car's driver is left in critical condition.
* TheProtagonist: Hisako Ichiki (Armor) is the main character of the series.
* RecycledTitle: The original ComicBook/UltimateMarvel line included another ''[[ComicBook/UltimateXMen2001 Ultimate X-Men]]'' series, which ran from 2001 until 2009.
* SpeechBubbles: The thing haunting Hisako in the first issue speaks in distinctive speech bubbles with ragged white text on a black background.
