I'm guessing that the guy with the guns is a much angstier Hawkeye, and the girl with the broadsword is Valkyre, given an Asgardian weapon by Thor....because.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Do I see Black Panther?

 

[Savage]

Yyyyup...Wow...Great line-up there. Nice to see some actual costumes.

It was only a matter of time till Wolverine and Spider-man were made official though and Valkyre really has me intrigued. Wonder if Luke Cage and the rest of The Defenders will get similar treatment.

 

[T'Jai]

Do I see Black Panther?

and with a full mask Thank the Makers!!

 

[TwilightPro101]

Now, that's a line-up!

 

[Blacklight]

look at Iron Man! Finally Red and Gold! Just as it should be! and I don't think thats Hawkeye. That's Bullseye. Look at the forehead if you don't beleive me.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

He was red and gold before.

 

[Blacklight]

He was red and gold before.

In the movies. In Ultimates, his suit was mostly gray.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Looks like the "classic" looks are at least back in play. At least for the Ultimates in some ways.

 

[Savage]

...And red and yellow and that's Hawkeye. Blonde hair and not bald. The logo doesn't matter. They're going to randomly throw Bullseye on the team and let go of a perfectly capable person like Hawkeye?

Makes one wonder why that is, but I suppose we'll get an explanation for it.

Then what's with the target on his head? Is it a sticker? Who says that isn't Bullseye disguised as Hawkeye? What if it's someone different?

 

[Savage]

I guess that could be true but...Bullseye? A little on the nose if that's the case and I don't think this team is turning into Ultimate Thunderbolts.

Besides, it's Hawkeye. The guy shoots arrows and is pretty much the hero version of Bullseye anyway so I guess it would make sense.

Who knows? That's definately interesting.

 

[Xplicit Content]

LOVIN' the preview...I think I just got wood, heh. This wait is gonna be torture.

Really hope it isnt Hawkeye - bows might seem a little stupid in a more realistic superworld, but the Ultimates already has ten thousand regular troops they send out everytime theres a big skirmish - Hawkeye needs to be a bowman to make him stand out. Though given their independant status now, I guess he'd be the only guy with a gun (no more troop backup).

 

[Brian Braddock]

Yeah, but the Unverse Fury is not nearly as cool as the 616 Fury.

Agree completely.


This thread might interest you then - I'm obviously fighting a losing battle.

Ah, not predominantly gold, I see what you mean.

I had the same thought.

I never even noticed him, he's so small. I hate it! Ultimate Iron Man was so cool before and now he's just 616...

I don't like how Cap or Login look either, and is that Hank or one of the other Giants? Are The Reserves still part of S.H.I.E.L.D. or did they move with The Ultimates?

Thor, Sword Woman and the Witch are all really nice.

But it makes sense. His wife and kids are killed. The switch to guns is just an outward sign of how deeply messed up he is right now.

That image is actually pretty underwhelming, in my opinion. Joe used to be my favorite artist back in the 90's, but this isn't doing it for me.
