Marvel's relaunched Ultimate Universe enters its second full year in 2025, with Ultimate Wolverine the latest ongoing title to be set in the alternate universe. Now it seems like Marvel is going to be using the new launch to introduce the Ultimate versions of a few more famous mutants, with both Gambit and Kitty Pryde set to appear in Ultimate Wolverine #3.
"The Winter Soldier leads a strike against two members of the Opposition: Kitty Pryde and Gambit!" reads the early solicitations text for the new issue. "But do the duo recognize the man behind the mask?" The Winter Soldier in the new Ultimate Universe is, of course, not Bucky Barnes but a brainwashed Wolverine.
Using Ultimate Wolverine to introduce these new twists on classic mutant characters makes a lot of sense. While Peach Momoko's ongoing Ultimate X-Men continues to impress, it's notably light on big name legacy characters, instead focusing on a group of younger mutants such as Armor and Maystorm in a series that often reads more like a supernatural manga, rather than a traditional X-Men comic.
While announcing the news, Marvel also took the opportunity to share early cover art and solicitations text for March's full set of Ultimate Universe titles. You can check out the covers in the gallery below.
Here's Marvel's full slate of March Ultimate Universe comics. Look out for the publisher's complete March 2025 comics solicitations later in the week.
