The more things change, the more they stay the same. Nowhere is this more on display than in superhero comics, where everything that was old can be new again. For decades now, superheroes have been stuck in a sort of holding pattern, constantly recycling storylines and character progression all in the name of preserving the status quo.A lack of meaningful change leads to things becoming stale, which is why the new Ultimate Marvel Universe, with flagship titles like Ultimate Spider-Man and The Ultimates, are breaths of fresh air in the comic book landscape. With bold, politically charged stories, the Ultimate Universe is an act of protest against the status quo, creating daring reinventions that far surpass their original versions.Because America Chavez debuted in 2011, a transformative time in the comic landscape that saw the MCU coming into blockbuster status, writers have often struggled to find an independent direction for her, usually having her feature in team books. In just a few issues of Deniz Camp’s The Ultimates, Ultimate America Chavez immediately stands out in comparison to her 616 counterpart. Given Marvel’s affinity for brand synergy, one would be forgiven for thinking that she was 616-America, but this new version is native to Earth-6160, in her 30s, and has a history with both Captain America and the Guardians of the Galaxy, who are back to their roots of being time-displaced heroes.
