America has always been uncontestably awesome, and as the newly appointed leader of the Ultimates, she's now officially claimed her place as the preeminent butt-kicker of the Marvel Universe!

She goes to college!
She just has to stop an interdimensional monster or two first, plus shut down a pesky alien cult that's begun worshipping her exploits!
