Visionary creator Peach Momoko reinvents mutantkind for the Ultimate age! In Japan, when a young student named Hisako Ichiki develops armor powers, she discovers she’s a mutant—and she’s not the only one! Meet a new generation of mutants, filled with original and familiar X-Men characters. Together, they’ll learn what it means to be mutant in the Ultimate Universe as they explore their emerging powers and the startling ways they connect to folklore, legend, and magic!
“I am very honored to be a part of the new Ultimate Universe,” Momoko said. “I am very careful in delivering the unique X-Men mutant elements while still being true to my vision and voice."
"I am also very proud (and surprised) that I was given enough freedom from C.B. Cebulski and Jonathan Hickman to create a brand-new X-Men character," she shared. "It might not be the normal portrayal of a super hero…but I am excited to introduce everyone to a new chapter to my Momoko-verse.”
"Danielle... I intend to do something rash and violent." - Betsy Braddock
Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
Nah. This ain’t it. Maybe if an older Logan shows up to mentor these young mutants or something. Then I could maybe check it out. But this creator and concept so far do nothing for me. Sorry. I admire you trying something different at least, Jonathan. But this just ain’t it for me. Doubt I’m alone. Not sure this Nu Ultimate U is off to nearly as strong a start as the original.

“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
Well Armor was a PoV character in Whedons run, wasn’t she? She is one in this ultimate line. We still have no clue who the others will be.
Ill be cool that the Ultimate Prof X are Cassandra or David
And the "Mags" Polaris or anyone Who is not Maga
Does anybody know if that doll in the foreground of the cover has any cultural significance, because if not it sort of looks like Gentle and could be a clue he will be included. The three claw marks in the background suggest a Wolverine will be involved, but that's pretty much a given anyway.
I wonder about new versions of X-23 and Jimmy Hudson,
Meanwhile, I think this is brilliant. Peach Momoko is the most visionary creator at the Big Two at the moment. This is a huge win for the Ultimate Universe and the X-Men.
