Marvel Reveals First Look at Ultimate Hawkeye

Ultimate Hawkeye targets Captain America in October's Ultimates #5.

Another hero is set to make their debut in Marvel's new Ultimate Universe. As we move farther along in the rebooted Ultimate Universe, readers continue to meet familiar heroes and villains with drastically different origin stories. Spider-Man is now married with kids, Black Panther is married to Okoye, and Reed Richards has taken on the mantle of Doom. The four titles leading the way are Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto's Ultimate Spider-Man, Bryan Hill and Stefano Caselli's Ultimate Black Panther, Peach Momoko's Ultimate X-Men, and Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri's Ultimates. And later this fall, one of these titles will introduce Ultimate Hawkeye.

Marvel released its October 2024 solicitations for the Ultimate line, which includes Ultimate Black Panther #9, Ultimates #5, Ultimate Spider-Man #10, and Ultimate X-Men #8. While each contains interesting developments, Ultimates #5 is the title bringing in Ultimate Hawkeye. At this time it's unknown if this Hawkeye is Clint Barton, Kate Bishop, or another character entirely, though we do get to see what their costume looks like on covers by Dike Ruan and Inhyuk Lee. Hawkeye is wearing a bodysuit with the signature color pattern, holding a bow and arrow. Hawkeye's long hair is pulled back in a ponytail with two feathers sticking out of it.

Marvel teases Ultimate Hawkeye's debut

The solicitation for Ultimates #5 reads, "Hawkeye No More? Not for long! A new challenger approaches when an unknown civilian picks up a discarded bow and arrow – and refuses to let the Ultimates reclaim the stolen Stark Tech! Captain America tries to settle the dispute, leading to an action-packed brawl of arrows versus shields! Meanwhile, the Ultimate Hellfire Club is up to something…"

The Ultimates have already recruited three heroes to their cause, with the first issue featuring Wasp and Giant-Man, and the second issue featuring a rescue mission for America Chavez.

Other developments in the Ultimate Universe include a team-up between J. Jonah Jameson and Ben Parker, a tease for the Ultimate Sorcerer Supreme, and the secret behind the universe's mutants.
