But the man behind it all is The Maker, the Ultimate Reed Richards from the previous Ultimate Universe. Just as Miles Morales was the Ultimate Spider-Man from the previous Ultimate Universe as well.

So Otto Octavius is going to take down The Maker's network of everything and The City that has imprisoned him for two years. Good luck.

The Ultimate Doom is their Reed Richards, made that way by the Maker, the former Ultimate Reed Richards. The cruelty, but also the hope. And in today's Ultimates, it has blown Ultime Doom's mind, and possibly temporal and spatial comprehension of everything.

Miles Morales has full knowledge of bnoth universes and the Secret Wars that came inbetween. And Doom is left with what was, and what could have been.
