Notes This is the first chronological appearance of General Thaddeus Ross in the Ultimate Universe. Ross's first canonical appearance was in Ultimate Marvel Team-Up #2. 1st appearance of the Mole Man. He is known only by his civilian name, Arthur Molekevic, at this time. Reed, Sue, Ben, Johnny and Victor all appear in their civilian guises only in this issue. They have yet to become Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Thing, the Human Torch, and Dr. Doom at this time. Trivia Arthur Molekevic makes a physical gesture in this issue reminiscent of the evil closet monkey from the Family Guy animated television series. Notes References to the Fantastic Four have been made in various books, including The Ultimates and Ultimate Spider-Man. This means that this volume took place earlier in the timeline, possibly even before the debut of Ultimate Spider-Man. Earliest chronological appearances of Reed Richards and Ben Grimm. The two will not begin to use the names Mister Fantastic and the Thing for several more issues. Trivia In the Ultimate continuity, Reed Richards father is named Gary. In the Earth-616 continuity, his father is the time traveling warlord, Nathaniel Richards. Agent Lumpkin is named for a character in the Marvel-616 Universe known as Willie Lumpkin. Willie was the US postal worker that delivered mail to the Baxter Building for many years. In the 2005 Fantastic Four movie, Willie is portrayed by Marvel Comics founder Stan Lee. Gary Richards refers to Ben by his football nickname the "Grimm Reaper". Please use pictures to judge condition. I do not grade comics. Will be shipped securely and bubble wrapped.
