Article Summary
- Ultimates #2 unveils the twisted past of the USA in the Absolute Universe.

I already gave you one sneak peek at tomorrow's Ultimates #2 from Absolute Universe-writer Deniz Camp and artist Juan Frigeri, with a little bit of punnery regarding what that comic book meant for America. But wordplay aside, it also reveals more of the history of the former United States Of America until it becomes the North American Union with its Regional Subsidiaries on the Jonathan Hickman map.
The sixties brings a different assassination of President Kennedy with Howard Stark unable to stop it entirely. But there are bigger threats for that decade…
The Maker facing down Galactus with no Fantastic Four to stop him. A Mutant Civil Rights Upheaval.. though with not so many mutants around these days, one might wonder exactly what happened as a result.. While a more recent Armor Wars with Howard Stark and Obadiah Stane is focused on Russian mutant Omega Red, a cold war in the seventies…
… as well as exploitation of the Antarctic for oil – specifically in the Savage Land, as well the emergence of the Punisher for his own Summer Of Sam. This Steve Rogers has been away longer than both his predecessors in the former Ultimate and the 616 Universe. There's a lot more to pack into this time… forgive him if he is a little culture-shocked after going through all that. Better than Wikipedia, I guess.
