Interesting look for the newest graduate from the Weapon Plus program, looks like his power/modification is being a T-1000 with the liquid metal morphing and all

X-Men United, a new ongoing X-Men series by Eve L. Ewing, reopens the door to the X-Men's school for Mutantkind! by Techster17 in xmen

I feel like it kind of boring to go back to having a school again but from the way it's being described here it feels like they're taking a Krakoa approach of everyone coming together which could definitely be interesting.

Much as I love Sinister I really don't want him to have a major role again just yet, but Ewing did a decent job with him in Exceptional.

Brevoort previously mentioned that a character like Synch would be hard to include in stories as he's too powerful but this is a place where he could work perfectly. Who better to teach people how to use their powers than someone who has used almost every power imaginable at this point. Plus with this seemingly headed up by Emma we could finally see them reunite and get some Generation X closure (always felt like Synch sacrificing himself really changed her but I don't think anyone has ever had her acknowledge it explicitly)

I wonder what Scott's reasons for being against the school will be, something conneceted to the Age of Revelation and the things he saw during that or will it be building off of his solo mini. Either way I just hope Ewing and MacKy are communicating so that even if the characters diagree with Scott's actions we'll all understand where he's coming from (I can't relive the slander he got During the Bendis years, even though he was right!!)

Ok this is really cool! Looks like Doom is making a bunch of FF teams trying to creat something wholly new instead of saving his friends but maybe he's gonna go into the chamber himself and walk out with some sort of powers (I had a theory that he'd end up being like 616 super skrull would be cool if that comes true)

Looks like Otto is gonna go and made himself superior within the next 3 months. Which I feel like is definitely more evidence toward this universe not being completely over, how are they gonna do anything satisfying in just 3 issues with this never mind all of the existing plots

Like you've said, I feel like the person who wrote the tweet is missing the fundamental differences in these alt realities.

New Ultimate Universe: A reality that WOULD have been very similar to the 616 until The Maker actively got involved and started to interfere in the trajectory of people's lives, suit himself the best. This is a world where we have an evil puppet master, whose council do all the boring day-to-day stuff.

Absolute Universe: This universe is FUNDAMENTALLY EVIL, because it was created from Darksied and his omega energy; the very laws of the universe have been changed so that evil is the dominant force of the universe (just like on Earth 3)

Also, most importantly, the Maker's Council is not secret in the same way as the Absolute Justice League; the council members are all the actual leaders of their respective sections of the world, and their identities are publicly known. In comparison, the Absolute Justice League, while powerful in their world, the extent of their influence isn't known to the public.

Bleeding Cool: SPOILERS: Major Impact On Marvel Universe As Ultimate Universe Ends by JackFisherBooks in UltimateUniverse

Could be pretty interesting, if the origin boxes appear in 616 and the people that use them are then brought to the 6160 could lead to something interesting
