The Ultimate Universe is an imprint of comic books published by Marvel Comics beginning in 2023. Reimagining several classic Marvel characters in a new fictional continuity, Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch's Ultimate Invasion limited series depicted The Maker (the Reed Richards of Earth-1610) shaping a new Earth in his image, resulting in Earth-6160, a new one preceded by alternate history.
It shares its name with the earlier Ultimate Marvel imprint that ran from 2000 to 2015, but is not a direct reboot; while Ultimate Marvel started by updating the origins of classic Marvel Universe characters in a more modern but recognizable Earth-1610, the Ultimate Universe (Earth-6160) features new interpretations of Marvel characters set in a radically altered sociopolitical status quo.
