The Ultimates are a team of of superheroes assembled by S.H.I.E.L.D. to defend the United States.

History[]

The Ultimates were launched in 2002 by George Bush and Nick Fury. The starting roster was headed by Steve Rogers, Captain America from 1945 who had been found in the Arctic Ocean. Anthony Stark was on the team as Iron Man, and the scientist couple Henry Pym and Janet van Dyne rounded out the team. Betty Ross was the Ultimates' PR representative, and Bruce Banner their scientist. The Ultimates saw no action until Banner injected himself with Super-Soldier serum to become the Hulk. The Hulk was defeated by the Ultimates despite massive casualties in New York. Thor joined the team during the fight after Bush doubled his international aid budget. Banner was defeated, and the Ultimates were hailed as heroes afterwards. The Ultimates had to quickly leave to Chicago to try and recruit Jack Danner, the Hawk-Owl. At his base, Danner attacked Rogers and the Ultimates and refused to join, and the Ultimates returned home. Pym left the team after brutally assaulting van Dyne, and Fury revealed new members Natalia Romanova and Clint Barton. Wanda and Pietro Lensherr stayed in the so called 'Shadow Team' as the public would object to them. Fury introduced the threat of the Chitauri, shapeshifting aliens responsible for World War II that are attempting to control humanity. The Ultimates extracted memories from a Chitauri corpse and determined their base was in Micronesia. A fleet of Helicarriers went there, but it was a set-up, as the Chitauri had actually infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. itself. A nuke went off on the islands, and Stark's forcefield barely saved the Ultimates and a few soldiers. Thor teleported them to the true Chitauri base in Arizona, and the Ultimates fought the Chitauri, and defeated them. They had a celebration at the White House afterwards.
