Here's what the fascinating new Marvel comic 'The Ultimates' #4 can tell us about Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom and the upside of 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps.'
Christian Holub is a writer covering comics and other geeky pop culture. He's still mad about 'Firefly' getting canceled.multiverse, we're used to certain things remaining constant. Stephen Strange is Doctor Strange, even in a universe where he's willing to do evil . We've seen personalities and alignments change from one alternate reality to the next, but essential identities have stayed constant among Marvel characters — until now.
Now, years after that original experiment reached its conclusion, a new Ultimate Universe has begun. But instead of imagining Marvel heroes having their origins just start later, this universe has scrambled everything around. In last year'sand Bryan Hitch, an evil genius called the Maker stole technology from the Marvel heroes of Earth-616 and escaped into an alternate timeline, where he used time travel and other means to prevent every Marvel hero's origin story from happening at all.
If Reed Richards can be Doctor Doom, then so can Tony Stark. As mentioned above, Ultimate Marvel comics have influenced the MCU before, as have many of Hickman's stories. So you can betand his team are reading these comics and taking notes. It doesn't have to be a one-to-one adaptation. Maybe the origin of Downey's Doom won't involve torture or an evil malefactor specifically out to ruin his life.
