Ultimate X-Men Says The Word X-Men For The First Time, Five Issues In

It was notable that in the original Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter Parker didn't wear the suit, or say the name until the end of the first arc


Ultimate X-Men Spoilers ahead! It was something notable that in the original Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter Parker didn't wear the suit, or even say the name Spider-Man until the end of the first arc from Brian Bendis and Mike Bagley. John Byrne was furious about this at the time. But it seemed to work. And it seems, more than any of the other books, it is Ultimate X-Men that has been mirroring that approach in the current rebooted Ultimate Marvel Universe. And today's Ultimate X-Men #5 from Peach Momoko and Zack Davisson finally joins in with that. No costumes, mind… but we get a mention of "homo superior" for the first time…

But we also get these youngsters stumbling onto their name, as if destiny was just waiting, to fill in the blanks.

Marvel Spoilers

They do, they do have powers. And they have a Shadow King just waiting to receive them…
