Banner created by starksnack, with thanks!There's still
a bit of time to finish up and share your fills for Marvel Adventures Month, but in the meantime, it's the 15th, so welcome to the next month of Cap-IM's Universe Medley fest!
You can create as many works as you like across as many different mediums as you like! This is a no-pressure, low commitment challenge to encourage you to try something new, stretch your creativity, and check out other versions of Steve and Tony.
For our full fest guidelines, including our annual schedule, please click here.Welcome to Marvel Ultimates Month!Marvel Ultimate, affectionately known as Ults, made a splashy debut in 2002 with a gritty reimagined modern universe of superheroes with harder, sharper edges. Looking for some darkness to dig into, or angsty theatrics? Look no further than Ults, which the MCU took a couple of cues from (hello Fury).
This Steve is newly defrosted, with his missing years hitting hard and a modern world to contend with. This Tony has a brain tumor, not a heart condition, and the inevitability of his death is partly what drives his superheroing. Instead of the Avengers, we have The Ultimates, with the founding Avengers from 616 revisioned as well as a couple of other members filling out the roster.
There are grey morals and complex challenges, but sometimes that just makes the good moments even sweeter. Have fun with flamboyant, high-functioning alcoholic Tony and his depression and hallucinated kid! Take President Cap or Vampire Steve for a ride around the 'verse! Deathwish shenanigans, heartbreak, Tony's evil twin, supportive friendships and the line: "You're not going to die today, Cap"... there's a whole lot of dramatics to be inspired by.
Ults can get weird, and it can get offensive, but if you can dial up the setting on your selective reading goggles to see our duo have each other's backs (and a Thor who's against the military-industrial complex), give it a go this month!
