Ultimatum Edit Week 3: Day Six
March 26th, 2009 by Gavok | Tags: giant man, hawkeye, iron man, jeph loeb, Marvel comics, multiple man, ultimate edit, ultimatesYesterday’s installment featured Thor and Captain America talking about financing or whatever, followed by Iron Man and Ms. Less-Than-Marvel taking on Multiple Man. Then an arrow shot out. Who could it possibly be?!
In Ultimate X-Men #100, they killed off Ultimate Madrox, so in one fell swoop we get rid of the Matrix and Rocky Horror jokes. Due to the latter, ManiacClown is currently inconsolable.
Join us tomorrow as we close out yet another week.
wait…did this comic seriously happen? Thats just…retarded

by Syrg March 26th, 2009 at 02:19 --replyAnd as a follow-up to Syrg’s question, why did Hank kneel down and let the clones climb on him? That would be like Juggernaut ripping off his helmet before fighting Charles Xavier and Jean Grey.

by PJ March 26th, 2009 at 07:53 --replyAnd why in the hell was the explosion so damn powerful it instantly stripped him to the bone? Do C4 and Pym Particles interact violently?
by HitTheTargets March 26th, 2009 at 09:36 --reply@PJ: I’d imagine it’s because people are idiots.
@Syrg and W4: I know. That’s the part of this whole issue that made the least sense to me, too. That was the reason for Clint’s line about crushing or throwing them.
@Gavok: Hey, Agent Smith may be dead, but there’s still the potential for RHPS jokes! If I and more than maybe 3 people reading seen Shock Treatment we could mine that. Still, with our penchant for better-than-Loeb absurdity, I’m sure we’ll manage.
by ManiacClown March 26th, 2009 at 09:43 --reply…wait, what?
that…that’s just fucking stupid.
i mean, even if hank has a death wish because jan is dead, that still doesn’t explain why the maddrox clones waited to explode until they were so far out to sea
also, why am i even bothering to find reason in this

by vorn_o March 26th, 2009 at 15:02 --replyWhy did so many of the Maddrox clones even climb on him in the first place? Wasn’t their target the Triskellion? They basically put all their eggs in one basket to kill a single man.
