I often argued with others in the Ultimate forum (before it got shut down) why Jimmy was such a lousy character. I would often argue that if you put him in a lineup with X-23 and Daken, he would do nothing to stand out. He was just a teenage Logan. That was it. He didn't have Logan's skill, his grit, or his personality. He was juts a whiny, cheap imitation with no real appeal. There were a lot of Ultimate characters like that, such as Teddy Allen, Ray Connor, and Derek Morgan. None of these characters did anything at all to endear themselves to anyone. That's why Ultimate failed. That's also why Ultimate X-men was the worst-selling, worst-reviewed X-men series up until its cancellation. It had a lot of problems and Jimmy was one of them. There's a reason why people dress up as X-23 and Daken more than Jimmy Hudson at comic cons. And at a time when we have Gabby, Old Man Logan, X-23, Daken, Raze, and Jonathan the actual wolverine, Jimmy really brings nothing of value other than recreating a god-awful love triangle that never does anything beneficial for anyone involved.
