SPOILER WARNING: This article contains spoilers for "Ultimates" #12, which is on sale now.


A month later in "Ultimates" #10, Ewing introduced Kathy Ling, the Marvel version of the "Psi-Force" character of the same name. Like Tyrone/Terry, Kathy also regularly appeared in the '80s New Universe series.

And now, the finale of "Ultimates" #12 brings Agent Vogt's team all together, rounding out the squad with three more New Universe characters.

Joining Agents Jessup and Ling are:

  • Lt. Col. Jim Tensen, counterpart of John Tensen a.k.a. Justice. A powerful energy manipulator, Justice starred in his own ongoing series titled "Justice" under the New Universe banner.
  • Lt. Col. Dionne McQuaid, counterpart of the New Universe's Indigo. She was a recurring character in the series "DP7" and used her ability to create light constructs to help her in hand to hand combat.
  • Simon Rodstvow, counterpart of the powerful New Universe villain that frequently clashed with Psi-Force.

For the most part, these are all characters that haven't seen since the New Universe folded in the late '80s, and none of them had counterparts in the Marvel Universe until Al Ewing's "Ultimates" run. What the Troubleshooters will get up to remains unknown, but the end of the issue positions them as the government's new secret team of supers. Ewing's Ultimates epic will continue when a new series, "Ultimates²," launches next month.

"Ultimates²" #1 arrives in stores on November 23.
