Ultimates (Marvel NEW)

Ultimates is a comic book series published by Marvel NEW which follows a group of heroes who are assembled by S.H.I.E.L.D. to be their own personal Avengers, as the actual Avengers have rejected to join their ranks multiple times. The team does what the actual Avengers do but with the technology and support of S.H.I.E.L.D., meaning they are able to just make a call if they struggle to defeat a villain.
