Ultimate X-Men has introduced Japanese mutants Armor, Maystorm and Nico Minoru in one Japanese high school classroom, courtesy of Peach Momoko. Makes you wonder what's happening in all the other schools… everywhere, if there's a ten percent or so mutant activation around the place. Or is it just this school and this class? Because if so there will be plenty more of these scenes taking place… from today's Ultimate X-Men #4.
As mutants like Armor find themselves in supernatural shenanigans that reveal their powers to the world… or at least their smartphones,
Of course some folks have mutant allies like Maystorm to take care of such a situation.
Water and electricity can be quite the powerful combination when dealing with threats of modern day electronic media.
I mean, they are also quite good at dealing with old fashioned media as well. But you do have to be rather thorough with these things.
As introducing another new mutant to the mix, with Noriko Ashida, otherwise known as Surge, makes an earlier first appearance than solicited. In the Marvel Universe, she automatically and uncontrollably absorbs electricity around her at all times: from static in the air, electrical appliances, outlets and the like. Forge built her power gauntlets to redirect what she absorbs, it looks like in Ultimate X-Men she has a power ring instead, across two fingers. And so able to do what the others could not…
Is this where the rest of the Ultimate Universe comes calling? Will the Ascendant Harida/Yoshida Alliance with The Children Of Eternal Light, The Shadows Of The Immortal Hand, Hi No Kuni or Daimyos of the Maker's World sit up and take notice?
