Magneto Lifts Thor’s Hammer (Marvel Ultimatum Part 1)

Throughout Manhattan, the heroes of the world continue with their day-to-day affairs. Iron Man and Captain America discuss the future of the Ultimates. Reed Richards prepares to propose to Sue Storm. Johnny Storm argues with his father. The X-Men take a walk down 42nd Street and Peter Parker and his friends take a ride on the El.

Without warning, the sky darkens and giant flashes of lightning explode across the sky. Torrential rain hammers down upon the city and within minutes, all of Manhattan is being flooded. The water levels rise so high that they engulf the first several floors of most of the city's skyscrapers. A drowning Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk and rises above the water line where he sees one of the Watcher units growing in the middle of the street. Peter Parker changes into Spider-Man and hits the high ground, though he has no idea what he will be able to do in such a situation. Angel dives through the water and scoops up Alison Blaire who has swallowed too much water. He is too late to save her however. Franklin Storm is killed and Johnny Storm is missing in action. Iron Man grabs Captain America and takes to the sky. Yellowjacket grows to more than sixty-feet tall and tries to find his wife, Janet. Reed and Sue go to the top of the Baxter Building where Sue tries to hold the sea water back with a massive force field. The effort proves too much for her however and she collapses. Reed immediately suspects the Sub-Mariner is responsible for the flood and flies into a rage when he sees the Mariner's sea-craft floating in the water. He begins fighting Namor, but the Sub-Mariner assures him that he would never do anything that would put Susan's life at risk.

This ecological disaster is not limited to New York though. In Latveria, Victor van Damme finds that the entire area surrounding his castle is covered in snow and ice. Pedestrians are frozen solid, standing in the middle of the street.

At Xavier's Academy, Professor X experiences a psychic flash. He knows who is responsible for this disaster. He telepathically alerts the other X-Men and warns them that Magneto has activated his own Doomsday weapon.

Aboard his floating headquarters, Magneto seethes as he observes his handiwork. He wants revenge for the deaths of his children Wanda and Pietro, and he is determined to make sure that every man, woman and child pays the price.

▸ What is Ultimatum: "Ultimatum" is a 2009 comic book storyline published by Marvel Comics under its Ultimate Marvel imprint. It consists of a core five-issue eponymous miniseries written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by David Finch that was published from January to September 2009, and a number of tie-in books. The storyline deals with Magneto's attempts to destroy the world following the apparent deaths of his children, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in The Ultimates 3. The foreshadowing of the "Ultimatum" storyline began in late 2007 when Ultimate Power #8 featured a banner on its cover reading, "March on Ultimatum". The following year, a teaser advertisement for "Ultimatum" ran in all Marvel titles. It depicted a broken tombstone reading 2000-2008, with the 2008 piece broken from its place, indicating that the Ultimate Universe would be ending that year.

Magneto Lifts Thor’s Hammer (Marvel Ultimatum Part 1)

Comics Explained

[prealpha]

Love how dooms eyes are shocked then in the next frame are solid black when he’s enraged. Great detail.

[CarpRunner]

Everyone can lift mjolnir. I think they will be playing football with it in the next film.

Magneto lifts Mjolnir
Magneto wields the Phoenix force.
Now it's time...

For magneto to wield the infinity gauntlet. With the snap of his mutant fingers all of humanity will be wiped out of existence.

[dtprod]

Lol he didn’t talk about magneto until the last few seconds I almost forgot what video I was watching

[matiasleon]

Bravo! I applaud you, sir! I loved how you quickly explained the differences between these superheroes and their 616 counterparts. Ultimatum wasn't what I thought it would be, but holy cow, it surely got me with my pants down. I hope you get to cover the whole of it (and eventually more of the ultimate universe, like the ultimate avengers vs new ultimates event). You rock, Rob!

[chadmichael]

Damn brother, your knowledge is extensive. I’ve learned so much since I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work brother. Channels like this are what make YouTube great....

Yeah man, Mainline Cap and Ultimate cap are pretty much the same guy. Sure.

[juanjsolis]

What! 😠 U serious bro. Just when it was getting good. Fuck. I definitely want to know how Magneto got Thors hammer.

[diaspcd]

I don't really read comics not do I gel too much with "heroes" but damn mate, your excitement is contagious! Can't wait for you to delve into the rest of the story! Well bloody done with the channel!

[TheRealDieYoung]

Nice topic choice, keep up the good work rob!

[tysmith]

3:51 “you should see me in bed Thor”😂😂😂

[ImLostInKwangya]

I feel like the ultimate universe was so different from anything we had gotten from marvel when it came out, which is what made it good. It was really interesting how they explained the creation of mutants. I would recommend ultimate x-men because it is a great departure from the team we know and love(or hate).

[mikkejk]

The name of the video should not be "Magneto Lifts Thor's Hammer" - this never gets discussed. You usually do great work ; I'm a subscriber an a fan.

Really mislabeled and misleading though.

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Is Rob in one of those "Everything goes wrong" moods?

[AnotherAgnostic]

Dr. Doom is my favorite comic book character.

[JosephWorrellwes]

Please continue injustice 2 I'm begging you it's getting so good

[RovingPunster]

Rob, clickbaity titles that do not deliver what's implied (explanation of how Magneto got Mjolnir) are NOT cool. This is my first -1 for this channel. 😒

[Prospective]

Magnetio is so UNDERRATED. Please do an omega level video on him.

[Black-ICE]

The title of the video was soooo mis leading lol
