Ultimates Vol. 1

As the new Ultimate Universe continues to unfold, its mightiest heroes gather to from a new superhero team - the ULTIMATES!

Six months ago, Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Lad, sent Peter Parker a radioactive spider to set him back on the course to become Spider-Man. Since then, Stark, Captain America, Doom, Thor and Sif have begun to do the same for others, building a network of super-powered heroes hungry for change. Now they must band together to destroy the Maker’s Council and restore freedom and free will to a world ruled from the shadows! Together they are the Ultimates! But when Cap reckons with the Maker’s dismantling of nations by visiting the White House, it leads to a massive brawl with the deadly Midas--who’s been holding a superhuman hostage as a power source! The search for answers will lead the Ultimates to...She-Hulk!
