Ultimate X-Men’s Body Horror Sets it Apart from Other Titles

The new Ultimate Universe is now in full swing after launching in 2023 , and it will be interesting to see how horror defines this new incarnation of the cristal - Men on the newly introduce Earth-6160 . The inclusion of revulsion elements could assist to congeal the X - Men aside from the rest of the young Ultimate Universe ’s other paladin who , so far , seem to fit into a more traditional super - heroic mould . This tonal difference could be valuable both in - universe and outside , devote the book its own unique identity and the squad its own feel .

Body horror in dissimilar variant has long been a basic of theX - Menfranchise . Chris Claremont , who wrote the X - Men for more than a X , was entrance by the forcible transformation of bodies as well as thing like self-possession . Claremontco - created the parasitic Broodand , like in Momoko ’s preview , often had aspiration sequences in which awful change would metaphorically present a graphic symbol ’s inner struggles . This idea has carried through the enfranchisement ever since , perhaps most famously inBarry Windsor - Smith ’s Wolverine origin story , Weapon X , itself a history of medical experimentation .

Momoko ’s cast forUltimate X - Menseems to be focused on unseasoned characters and the compounding of this with body horror could think it could feel similar to Grant Morrison ’s seminal rivulet onNew XTC - man , in which body horror and seeable chromosomal mutation tied straight into the mutant metaphor . Under Morrison ’s playpen , the Xavier School sport mutants whose off - putting seeable mutant meant theycouldn’tlive in human fellowship . IfPeachMomoko’sX - Menare similarly horrific at prison term , then it ’s not heavy to imagine their teenage isolation only being blow up , even as they have to learn to pilot a world that hates and fear them .
