When the Ultimates come knocking on her door, they had better be ready for what’s waiting on the other side.

10 Best She-Hulk Costumes From The Comics
With She-Hulk: Attorney At Law on the horizon, fans should reflect on She-Hulk’s many stylish outfits she has worn in the comics over the years.
In the freshly new Ultimate Marvel Universe, familiar concepts andcharacters have experienced a perverse change from both the 616 Universe and the original 1610 Ultimate Universe. After being trapped on Earth-616 followingthe events ofSecret Wars,the Maker has found a way to reforge a new Ultimate Marvel Universe of his own design. Using a time-traveling reality-warping device known as the Immortus Engine, the Maker infiltrates points in Earth-6160’s history to stop the inciting events that would have led to the birth of Marvel’s mightiest heroes.

Hulk Lore Changes Forever as Marvel Officially Debuts Its New She-Hulk
The new She-Hulk is a general, not a superhero, as Marvel officially tears up the rulebook on Hulk’s place in the universe and the limits of gamma.
Whileit’s unknown whether She-Hulk will become a hero or a villain,what is known is that she is leading a secret community of Hulks with some real-world inspirations. Jennifer Walters’s outfit is heavily inspired by traditional Māori clothing, which may indicate a closer connection to her community in a way her cousin would never understand. In the real world, the Māori possess a set of core values, the tikanga, that emphasizes the importance of diversity, belongingness, and oneness among other concepts. If She-Hulk’s new society pulls inspiration from Māori culture, she may have the upper hand against the Hulk.
Where Bruce Banner hypocritically capitalizes on the strength of his cult to ascend to power, it is clear thatShe-Hulk’s community is important enough to hide away from her zealot cousin.A people that prioritizes communal strength and success is a powerful thing that could change the tide of the resistance against the Maker in the newUltimate Universe; if not,She-Hulk’sformidable physique might just be enough.

Ultimate Marvel
Created in 2000, the Ultimate Marvel imprint redesigned the entire Marvel Comics universe with a new set of origin stories and relationships. The reboot reinterpreted Marvel continuity from scratch in an attempt to simplify and update the company’s 60-year history for modern audiences. With famous comic book writers such as Brian Michael Bendis, Warren Ellis, and Mark Millar at the helm, the Ultimate universe (named Earth-1610 within the Marvel multiverse) lasted 15 years and provided plenty of inspiration for the MCU.
