Purpose: To stop Nemesis

Aliases: Avengers, Ultraforce

Affiliations: Unrevealed

Enemies: Nemesis

Base of Operations: Various different alternate realities

First Appearance: Ultraforce/Avengers#1 (Fall 1995)

History:
(Ultraforce/Avengers#1) - In Reality-93060 the entity Nemesis, a being with the combined powers of all the Infinity Stones, created a "brief sketch of a working universe" a few thousand miles across on the Godwheel, a vast disc-like realm. Since Nemesis was at the time in the middle of an encounter with Earth-616's Avengers and Earth-93060's Ultraforce the construct she generated combined elements from both realities, including a team of Avengers whose members were a mix of 616's Avengers and 93060's Ultraforce. However, the construct proved extremely unstable, and soon collapsed catastrophically, destroying the Godwheel. Teleporting away in panic, Nemesis survived but was temporarily stunned. Her teleportation wave inadvertently also saved the heroes - Ultraforce and both Avengers teams - and deposited them all back on Ultraforce's native Earth. Rightly fearing that when she recovered Nemesis might destroy Reality-93060 by overwriting it with another new creation, the three groups combined forces to locate and stop her.

The sketch's collapse had also weakened the walls between realities, drawing variant Avengers and Ultraforce members from across a wide range of to Earth-93060. All somehow sensing the threat that Nemesis posed, they were drawn to her, finding her in the middle of Manhattan gathering her energies in preparation for overwriting 93060. The heroes attacked, but their uncoordinated efforts did little to phase her, and she began slaughtering her foes, literally ripping them apart with the Infinity Gems to produce raw material for the new reality she intended to create. Withing seconds she slew everyone except for her original foes, the 616 Avengers and 93060 Ultraforce members. Renewing their attacks, this time as an organized and coordinated force, they managed to momentarily hurt her, and though she swiftly rallied and blasted them away, the distraction provided Black Knight-616 time to sneak up behind Nemesis. Striking with his new Ebony Blade, he shattered the link between the Gems, destroying Nemesis. The energy Nemesis had been gathering exploded out across all of Reality-93060, wiping out the heroes and then the entire timeline; however, since these had been energies Nemesis had been gathering to generate a new reality, they then reset and recreated 93060 almost identically to how it had been, while simultaneously returning most of the 616 heroes, barring Black Knight, to that reality. Having been at the eye of the storm, both groups of heroes vaguely recalled that something apocalyptic had happened and then been averted, but not the details of the encounter.

(Ultraforce Infinity#1) - The sketch universe was recreated as the New World, a partial planet within Reality-93060; most of the sketch Avengers were reborn identical to how they had been prior to the original sketch universe's collapse, and with no memories of what had happened on Earth-93060. However, the team now called itself Ultraforce.

(Ultraforce/Avengers#1 - BTS) - Whether or not the other heroes from across the multiverse who Nemesis had slain prior to the final explosion were also safely returned to their respective homes remains unrevealed, ...

(Secret Wars#2) - although there is some circumstantial evidence that at least one did.

Comments: Created by Warren Ellis and George Perez, though the individual characters have many different creators.

The group is never called the Ultravengers; that's just a convenient nickname I've used to avoid constantly having to call all these disparate individuals "Avengers or Ultraforce members." We're led to believe that everyone who showed up to fight Nemesis belonged to a version of one or other groups, though of course it's entirely possible that said groups, even if counterparts to the Avengers or Ultraforce, were not called that. After all, Earth-1610's Avengers are called the Ultimates. So, since we don't know the names of the actual teams these heroes all belonged to, a singular nickname for the combined force seemed a sensible option.

Although many of the alternate Ultravengers are recognizable Marvel or Ultraverse characters, George Perez took the opportunity to fill one double-page spread with numerous characters from independent comics. All were done with permission from respective rights owners, who were then listed in the issue's indicia. This simplified (a little) the process of identifying most of them, and those who remain unidentified from that splash page presumably come from one or other of those sources. Some of those independent characters had yet to appear in their own titles; presumably George knew their creators and what new characters they had in the works. And some of those not-yet published characters ended up never being published, making their cameos in Ultraforce/Avengers their ONLY appearance in a comic story to date.

Conversely, no one in that two-page spread can be from a non-Marvel / Ulltraverse comic that wasn't listed in the indicia. I have zero doubt George Perez snuck in at least one DC cameo amid the characters on the other pages where we only see random limbs with the rest of the character off-panel, but no such shenanigans took place where we could see the character more clearly - why would you credit some in the indicia and then risk legal repercussions by leaving out others?

In terms of assigning reality numbers to the various characters seen, it's all but impossible to do so for a lot of them. We have five main groupings of characters:

the Avengers who were in the previous issue of this story, Avengers/Ultraforce#1, who are all from 616 - these are the "real" versions of the regular Marvel characters.
the Ultraforce members who were in Avengers/Ultraforce#1, who are all from 93060 - these are the "real" versions of the regular Ultraverse characters.
the Avengers members from Nemesis' "sketch" universe. Since she didn't actually merge anyone or create an entire new reality, but instead generated a bunch of new people based off of existing ones, they are all native to 93060 too, and so to distinguish them from counterparts from 616 or the regular 93060 versions they are designated as "sketch" versions. Contrary rather rudely informs them they aren't real, but I'd argue that's a matter of semantics - even if based on others, they were individuals with their own personalities similar but not identical to their counterparts, and their own lives, histories and experiences (Nemesis didn't fake memories for their lives, but rather had her new creation go through an accelerated timeline, so that internally billions of years passed while only minutes went by outside).
the Avengers or Ultraforce members who were based on characters from non-Marvel titles are presumably not the "real" versions of those characters, since in their own comics they aren't members of the Avengers or Ultraforce. Unless, of course (and for example) we consider the "real" Nocturnals to be their reality's counterparts to the Avengers, which isn't entirely out of the question.
the other heroes based on Marvel and Ultraverse characters might be from existing realities we know of, or brand new ones, and some who appeared here might be from the same reality as one another while others were their timeline's only representative. As the text within the story notes, some might be newly created by Nemesis, the same way the sketch versions were, and thus not from any existing alternate reality. Some might even also be the "real" (e.g. 616 or 93060) versions. We see so little of them there is simply no way to tell.

Additionally, while I've ASSumed most recognizable characters have codenames similar to their known counterparts, there's no way to be sure of this for anyone not explicitly named in the story (which are the confirmed 616, 93060 and sketch characters). In some instances I've assigned placeholder codenames in quotes where there's something distinctive about the variant that suggested (to me) what codename they might have, but these are very much unofficial, and mostly in place to distinguish them from their 616 counterpart or other variants thereof.

In terms of the sketch characters, while they were all initially created in Reality-93060 AND they got returned there after 93060 got recreated, they are sometimes stated to belong to Reality-32659. Why? Because we've seen it almost every prior time that realities get changed, mixed or merged, after things get reverted, we later learn the changed/mixed/merged version still persists somewhere in the multiverse (not just in a pocket world as in this instance). Whether that means the changed/mixed/merged version got recreated, or that there was timeline where things were never reverted, or that there simply already existed a reality that just happened to perfectly match the altered one is up for debate, but the simple fact is that in an infinite Omniverse all alternative versions can be found somewhere, and probably more than once. And if that makes your head hurt, you're not alone. Multiversal theory hurts the brain.

The sub-profiles below of the mainstream Ultraverse members, the sketch Avengers, and the 616 Avengers are only intended to cover their time as members of this impromptu team. They all deserve (and in some cases have) full profiles of their own, as does the sketch reality itself and its other inhabitants; I've not included entries for the sketch Fantastic Four, Loki or Hulk, either, as they weren't present for the battle with Nemesis. This entry is purely for those involved with that, as they were the ones who formed this temporary grouping.

Thanks to Jeff Christiansen, Luc Kersten, Marc Reimer, Jacob Rougemont, Greg O'Driscoll, David Zuckerman, Jef Willemsen and Rob McCallum for help identifying some of the characters.

CLARIFICATIONS:
The "Ultravengers" are connected to but should not be confused with:

any other alternate reality Avengers or UItraverse teams

Adastra

When the walls between realities were breached, Adastra was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Adastra is one of the characters from Barry Windsor-Smith's Young Gods series which debuted (afaik) in Barry Windsor-Smith's Storyteller#1 (Dark Horse, October 1996), the year after Ultraforce/Avengers#1 came out. Thus her appearance in that story predates her official debut. However, some of the Young Gods characters were previewed in 1993's Dynamic Forces Creator's Universe trading cards, specifically Bron (renamed Heros when the story actually came out) and Strangehands.

BWS Storyteller ran for nine issues before it was cancelled. An anthology, each issue included three ongoing tales - the Kirbyesque Young Gods, the sword-and-sorcery fantasy Freebooters, and the science fiction series Paradoxman. Fantagraphics released a trade paperback, Young Gods and Friends, in 2003, that reprinted the story from BWS Storyteller, added in the remaining chapters of that story that hadn't previously been published, and included several brand new tales for the characters.

Dedicated to the memory of Jack Kirby, Young Gods unashamedly owed some of its inspirations to his New Gods, both in terms of character designs and conceptually, with the lead characters being, as the series' name suggests, the younger members of some godly pantheons that lived out in space. Adastra was the elder princess of Orgasma, one of the pantheons, but had been disinherited by her mother after losing her virginity to one of the staff, and had been banished for over 1000 years to the far ends of the galaxy, to the remote planet Earth; as a result she had picked up modern human speech patterns and colloquialisms, as well as a belligerent bad attitude. She was superhumanly strong and durable, unaging, a dab hand with a sword, and innately able to fly, although that last ability had been temporarily stripped from her as punishment for her transgressions.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

"American Shield"

When the walls between realities were breached, "American Shield" was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: One of the many Avengers variants visible in Ultraforce/Avengers#1, and from his outfit an alternate reality counterpart to Captain America. Since we've got other versions of Cap in the story, and since his outfit, with the horizontal row of stars across the top of his chest, reminds me of Archie's patriotic hero the Shield, I've dubbed him with the very unofficial placeholder name American Shield.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Aran Ana-Kashan

When the walls between realities were breached, Aran Ana-Kashan was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Aran Ana-Kashan is one of the characters from Barry Windsor-Smith's Freebooters series which debuted (afaik) in Barry Windsor-Smith's Storyteller, published by Dark Horse in 1996, the year after Ultraforce/Avengers#1 came out. Thus his appearance in that story predates his official debut.

BWS Storyteller ran for nine issues before it was cancelled. An anthology, each issue included three ongoing tales - the Kirbyesque Young Gods, the sword-and-sorcery fantasy Freebooters, and the science fiction series Paradoxman. Fantagraphics released a trade paperback in 2005, that reprinted the story from BWS Storyteller, added in the remaining chapters of that story that hadn't previously been published, and included several brand new tales for the characters.

Aran Ana-Kashan was a poet and seer who had a vision of a forthcoming apocalypse and hoping to prevent it coming to pass traveled to the great city of Shahariza to seek out Axus, reputed to be the greatest barbarian warrior of all time. Unfortunately, Axus turned out to be semi-retired and well past his prime, but when Armageddon is knocking, you have to make do with whatever heroes you have available.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Ash

When the walls between realities were breached, Ash was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti, Ash debuted in Ash#1 (November 1994) published by Event Comics (whose best known character was probably Painkiller Jane).

Ashley Quinn was a NYC firefighter who stumbled across alien technology while battling a blaze. When he was badly burned the alien tech saved his life by merging with him, healing his injuries and allowing him to transform into a superhuman form possessing flame powers.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

A•X

When the walls between realities were breached, A•X was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Marv Wolfman and Shawn McManus, A•X debuted in The Man Called A•X Ashcan (September 1994), published as part of Malibu's creator-owned Bravura imprint. After Malibu published his initial five part miniseries the character returned for an eight issue miniseries from DC.

A•X, short for Assassin Ten, and sometimes called Ax, was once a U.S. marine until his unit was taken by the conspiracy known as the Cadre and turned into a killer cyborg with no memory of his past life.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Axus

When the walls between realities were breached, Axus was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Axus is one of the characters from Barry Windsor-Smith's Freebooters series which debuted (afaik) in Barry Windsor-Smith's Storyteller, published by Dark Horse in 1996, the year after Ultraforce/Avengers#1 came out. Thus his appearance in that story predates his official debut.

BWS Storyteller ran for nine issues before it was cancelled. An anthology, each issue included three ongoing tales - the Kirbyesque Young Gods, the sword-and-sorcery fantasy Freebooters, and the science fiction series Paradoxman. Fantagraphics released a trade paperback in 2005, that reprinted the story from BWS Storyteller, added in the remaining chapters of that story that hadn't previously been published, and included several brand new tales for the characters.

Axus was once the greatest barbarian warrior of all time, but was now semi-retired and well past his prime; naturally, that was when an apocalypse loomed, as foretold by poet and seer Aran Ana-Kashan, who sought out the aging fighter in the hopes of averting the end of the world.

A few sites trying to figure out who was who in the group shot jumped to the conclusion that the guy shown to the left is Conan. While there's some superficial resemblance - black haired barbarian swinging a big sword, and yes, Conan did wear a helmet somewhat similar to that one on the cover of Conan the Barbarian#1 - there's no doubt it is Axus in Ultraforce/Avengers#1. The physical similarities to Conan are deliberate - Axus is basically "what if Conan had retired and piled on a few pounds?" - and that Conan#1 cover was also drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith, so there's no wonder the helmets resemble one another, but a close comparison between Conan, Axus and the character in U/A clearly shows that it's Axus in U/A. Same chainmail, exact same (not just similar) horned helmet, same disc necklace, same sword hilt and chappe. Plus Conan, a licensed character, isn't listed in the indicia, but Freebooters is.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Black

When the walls between realities were breached, Black and his partner White were among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew them.

Comments: Created by Art Thibert and Anthony Thibert, Black debuted in Supreme#10 (February 1994).

Once an agent of the British secret service and now post-retirement living under the alias of businessman Reed Blackett, Black was a vigilante working in partnership with Hong Kong-born martial artist and thrill-seeker Whitney Samson, a.k.a. White.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Black Knight

One of the Earth-616 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, the Black Knight a.k.a. Dane Whitman was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and found a version of the Ebony Blade already in his hand when he materialized. Suddenly confronted by a version of his old foe Proctor pointing a gun at him, Dane instinctively struck out in self defense, drawing blood and so activating his new blade's blood curse before he realized that Proctor was already dead, having materialized partially inside a wall, and wasn't "his" Proctor anyway. Soon found by his former lover Crystal and witnessing a variant of the Vision, Dane hypothesized that the walls between realities had broken down and raced to join the battle brewing against Nemesis. When most of the alternate reality heroes had been slain, leaving only the 616 Avengers and 93060 Ultraforce, Dane volunteered to use his new sword to split Nemesis from the Infinity Gems, willing to take the likely suicidal mission because he was unwilling to live under the curse of another damned blade and determined to save 93060. Against all odds, he succeeded, and like everyone else present was slain by the resultant discharge of energies and then reconstituted when reality rebooted. Unlike the other 616 heroes, he found himself still on Earth-93060 with only fading memories of recent events and that he originated from another reality.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Black Knight.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Black Knight (sketch)

A former British secret agent codenamed Black Knight, Alexander Swan was a member of the sketch universe's Avengers at the time when the unstable creation collapsed. Ending up on Earth-93060 with his teammates and encountering Ultraforce and the 616 Avengers, Swan was suspicious of Contrary's claims that his world had only been a few thousand miles across, pointing out that he came from England, but she countered that Nemesis had faked the perception that their Earth had been a complete world. After the sketch Prototype scanned for Nemesis' energy signature to confirm Contrary's story Swan readily accepted the situation and subsequently joined the battle against the mad goddess, only to be slain by her. Like most of the other sketch Avengers, he was reborn on the New World, a more stable version of the sketch universe; in this revised reality the team was called Ultraforce and they retained no recollection of their meeting the other Avengers and UItraforces.

Comments: Despite having the codename of 616 Dane Whitman, the sketch Black Knight was a counterpart to Reality-93060's Alec Swan, a.k.a. Firearm.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Black Widow-616

One of the Earth-616 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Black Widow was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Black Widow joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, Black Widow and most of the other 616 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events back in their native reality.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Black Widow.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Black Widow (sketch, Janet Van Dyne)

Having changed her codename from Wasp to Black Widow after her beloved Hank Pym (sketch) was murdered by Loki (sketch), Janet Van Dyne was the leader of the sketch universe's Avengers at the time when the unstable creation collapsed. Ending up on Earth-93060, she was shocked to encounter Giant Man-616, understandably initially believing him to be her late husband. Also present, Contrary-93060 explained otherwise, but even though Janet appeared to listen as the threat Nemesis posed was laid out, Janet remained distracted by Giant Man's presence, tearfully admitting to her husband's counterpart that she still dreamed about him. Pulling herself together she subsequently joined the battle against Nemesis, only to be slain by her. Like most of the other sketch Avengers, she was reborn on the New World, a more stable version of the sketch universe; in this revised reality the team was called Ultraforce and they retained no recollection of their meeting the other Avengers and UItraforces.

Comments: In the sketch reality the Wasp was still a founding member of the Avengers, but became Black Widow after Hank Pym was slain during the team's initial mission. She has a full Appendix entry.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

"Bock"

When the walls between realities were breached, "Bock" was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Apparently a Bucky variant working with (and presumably from the same reality as) the Nazi-version of Captain America. Since the German for buck is bock, I've used Bock as his unofficial codename.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

'Breed

When the walls between realities were breached, 'Breed was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Jim Starlin, 'Breed made his comics debut in 'Breed#1 (January 1994), published by Malibu's creator-owned Bravura imprint, though he appeared earlier on a trading card in Dynamic Force's 1993 Creator's Universe set.

Discovering that he is the halfbreed offspring resulting from a demon raping his human mother, Vietnam veteran Raymond Stoner set out to stop the impending demon invasion of Earth.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Captain America-616

One of the Earth-616 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Captain America was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Cap joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, Cap and most of the other 616 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events back in their native reality.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main"Captain America.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Cayman

When the walls between realities were breached, Cayman was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Though by no means certain about this identification, I think this was a variant of Freex member Cayman. His outfit suggests he was a member of an alternate Avengers (assuming that partial logo is an A in a circle), or perhaps an alternate Fantastic Four (if the symbol in the circle is the numeral 4); given everyone present was supposed to be either an Avenger or Ultraforce member, likely the former option.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Contrary-93060

One of the Earth-93060 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Contrary was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed. Encountering the sketch Avengers, she explained how their reality had been created, somewhat callously informing them that they weren't "real." She subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis and was one of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Contrary joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, Contrary and the other 93060 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Contrary. She has a full Appendix entry.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Crimson Plague

When the walls between realities were breached, Crimson Plague was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Created by George Perez, Crimson Plague debuted in Ultraforce/Avengers#1, before moving on to star in her own title published by Event Comics in 1997.

In the near future, when mankind has colonized the solar system, Dina Simmons is Crimson Plague, a genetically altered woman whose blood is toxic and corrosive to the touch; worse, during her menstrual cycle that toxicity becomes an airborne virus capable of destroying an entire planet in the course of a day, with even full biohazard suits providing no protection. When it was discovered she was making her way towards Earth, the military was scrambled to stop her.

Creator-owned by George Perez, Crimson Plague's entire cast of characters were based on real people; the real life Dina Simmons was a fan of Perez from his work on Wonder Woman. Sadly the planned series never got beyond its second issue.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Crystal-616

One of the Earth-616 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Crystal was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Crystal soon joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, Crystal and most of the other 616 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events back in their native reality, though she did react with joy at seeing her lover, 616 Quicksilver, subconsciously recalling witnessing Nemesis slaying the sketch version of him.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Crystal.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Cyberella

When the walls between realities were breached, Cyberella was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Cyberella was created by Howard Chaykin and Don Cameron. Her appearance in Ultraforce/Avengers#1 proved to be her debut, as she didn't get her own comic and story until DC's Helix imprint released Cyberella#1 in September 1996. The appearance depicted in U/A was not how she appeared in her own comic; as noted in the afterword in Cyberella#1 the character's visual design evolved, and "along the way she lost her fiber optical electrodes, her goggles and her enormous breasts." The appearance originally planned for her was then given to her foe Digitina, who debuted in Cyberella#10 (June 1997). You can see both to the right - Cyberella is the one with green hair, while Digitina has red.

Could George Perez have actually intended the character in U/A to be Digitina? Perhaps, but given Digitina was a villain and Chaykin's comments about Cyberella's look evolving, I suspect not.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Cyclops

When the walls between realities were breached, Cyclops was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: With only his face seen as he was being blasted out of existence, this isn't a definite identification, but very few people outside of Cyclops wear visors like that, so I think this is a variant of him.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Deuce

When the walls between realities were breached, Deuce was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Dan Jurgens, Deuce had first appeared in the Dynamic Forces' Creator's Universe trading card set in 1993, where the bulk of his costume was colored red; then in November 1993 the Bravura Preview Book#1 included a two page entry on Deuce, announcing a forthcoming 4 issue monthly miniseries. However, this never came to pass, making Deuce's appearance in Ultraverse/Avengers#1 not only his first actual appearance within a story (afaik), but also his only one to date.

Seventeen years ago a fugitive extraterrestrial fleeing the Blood Sect hid on Earth in the form of an infant child, Clifford Martin (I'm unclear if he took this form, or somehow merged his essence into the infant). When the teenage Martin was attacked by a gang, the fugitive emerged to protect him, transforming their shared body into a superhuman form. Unfortunately the energies released also alerted the Blood Sect that the "Chosen" was on Earth, and assassins were sent to slay him.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Doc Horror

When the walls between realities were breached, Doc Horror was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Dan Brereton, Doc Horror first appeared in The Nocturnals#1 (January 1995), published by Malibu's Bravura imprint.

Scientist and adventurer Nicodemus Horror is an extraterrestrial from the Black Planet, so dubbed because its surface remained shadowed and hidden from its sun, but he used a teleportation device of his own creation to flee to Earth with his young daughter when his homeworld was conquered by the squidlike Crim. To ensure his new home didn't fall prey to similar dark forces Doc Horror gathered together a team of misfits, and since they all operated mostly at night (Earth sunlight causes Doc Horror pain), he dubbed them the Nocturnals.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Edge

When the walls between realities were breached, Edge was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Steve Grant and Gil Kane, Edge first appeared in Edge#1 (June 1994), published by Malibu's creator-owned Bravura imprint.

Scientist John Carnell learned how to "jumpstart evolution," genetically modifying people to transform them into superhumans. John's creations became the superhero team the Ultimates, which included his son Jack. However after Jack was killed fighting crime, John committed suicide, taking the secrets of the process with him. John's other son, Eric, who had become estranged from his father during the tests, watched as the Ultimates became increasingly brutal, and as the costumed Edge set out to stop them, permanently.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

"Father Thor"

When the walls between realities were breached, "Father Thor" was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: A variant Thor who appeared to be not only a Christian, but likely a Catholic priest given the clothing. Hence, with two other Thors visible and more off panel, I'm calling him unofficially Father Thor, as that's how you'd address a Catholic priest. He has the distinguishing characteristic of being the only (afaik) alternate Avenger (outside the sketch Avengers) who has appeared since Ultraforce/Avengers#1, as he was among the Thor variants depicted by Alex Ross on the cover of Secret Wars#2; though he's not visible inside in the story itself, even a cover appearance beats everyone else.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1, Secret Wars (2015)#2 cover

Firelion

When the walls between realities were breached, Firelion was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Dan Brereton, Firelion first appeared in The Nocturnals#1 (January 1995), published by Malibu's Bravura imprint.

Festus Gold was a police detective and martial arts expert who secretly possessed pyrokinetic powers, which he avoided using because he found them hard to control, and which eventually caused him to spontaneously combust. A U.S. government contractor the Narn-K Corporation saved his life by transplanting his brain and nervous system into a synthetic body, intending to turn him into the first of a series of "Burner" super soldiers. However, the rest of the initial unit proved mentally unstable and turned rogue during a mission; only Gold remained loyal, stopping his compatriots' rampage only to learn that the military had ruled the project a failure and ordered his destruction too. Becoming a fugitive, he eventually found his way into Doc Horror's team of misfits, the Nocturnals.

Reuben Flagg

When the walls between realities were breached, Reuben Flagg was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Howard Chaykin, Reuben Flagg first appeared as the star of First Comics' American Flagg#1 (October 1983).

Former actor turned Plexus Ranger, Reuben Flagg was a law-enforcer in the distant future of 2031A.D.

Ghoul

One of the Earth-93060 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Ghoul was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Ghoul joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, he and the other 93060 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Ghoul. He has a full Appendix entry.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Giant Man

One of the Earth-616 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Giant Man was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, where he encountered the sketch Avengers, including his ex-wife Janet Van Dyne's counterpart, who mistook him for her slain husband (his sketch counterpart). Seeing that this loss still weighed heavily on her, he gently tried to make it clear he was not "her" Hank Pym. He subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis and was one of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Giant Man joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, Hank and most of the other 616 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events back in their native reality, though Hank found he had sudden desire to call his ex-wife.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Hank Pym.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Gladiator

When the walls between realities were breached, Gladiator was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by George Perez, Gladiator debuted in Ultraforce/Avengers#1, before appearing in Crimson Plague#1 (Image Comics, June 2000).

Gladiator was originally created for George Perez to be a character in a Nightwing detective story for DC, but when DC rejected the story pitch George decided to develop him into his own series, to be titled either The Gladiator or George Perez's Gladiator. His foe was to be Plague, a villain intended for the same Nightwing story, but after learning that name was already in use Perez had a chance encounter with fan Dina Simmons, and was inspired to use her likeness and modify Plague to be the series' star, under the new name Crimson Plague. Gladiator became a mysterious antagonist, a feared and ruthless legendary hero seemingly returned from the dead.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Groo

When the walls between realities were breached, Groo was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Sergio Aragonés, Groo the Wanderer debuted in Destroyer Duck#1/5 (Eclipse Comics, February 1982).

Invincible in battle but with an I/Q. three points lower than a boulder, barbarian Groo the Wanderer roams the land seeking adventure, riches, and cheese dip.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Gunwitch

When the walls between realities were breached, Gunwitch was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Dan Brereton, Gunwitch first appeared in The Nocturnals#1 (January 1995), published by Malibu's Bravura imprint.

As a living man in the Old West, the future Gunwitch was a fugitive gunslinger who fled to Europe and hid in a traveling Wild West show under the pseudonym the Sixgun Sorcerer, an ever-hooded figure who did sharpshooting routines for the crowds. Carnies claimed that the Sorcerer had sold his soul to the Devil in return for never missing a shot, and there may have been some truth to this story, because when he eventually returned to the U.S.A. some eighty years later he served as an enforcer for an occultist judge. Decades later Doc Horror heard rumors about the gunslinger, exhumed his corpse from its grave, and reanimated him. Now a revenant and extremely protective of Halloween Girl, the silent undead serves as one of Doc Horror's Nocturnals.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Halloween Girl

When the walls between realities were breached, Halloween Girl was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Created by Dan Brereton, Halloween Girl first appeared in The Nocturnals#1 (January 1995), published by Malibu's Bravura imprint.

Having come to Earth from the Black Planet when she was four, young Evening Horror found she could see and communicate with ghosts; her simple presence calms and soothes spectres, who are drawn to her and instictively like her, and in return she sometimes "houses" them in her toys, because, according to her, ghosts dislike being incoroporal. Loving to wander around at night carrying a plastic Halloween candy container shaped like a pumpkin, she gained the nom de guerre Halloween Girl, an urban legend to the humans living near her home. Like her father she is a member of the Nocturnals.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Hardcase-93060

One of the Earth-93060 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Hardcase was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Hardcase joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, he and the other 93060 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Hardcase. He has a full Appendix entry.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

"Hauptmann Amerika"

When the walls between realities were breached, "Hauptmann Amerika" was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Clearly a Nazi variant of Captain America, hence my dubbing him unofficially Hauptmann Amerika. He might be from one of the already known Nazi-dominated worlds, such as Hauptmann Englande's Earth-597, or an entirely new world. If he's from a world where the Nazis won the Second World War then he's probably not Steve Rogers under the mask, since the divergence would thus presumably be after Steve came to hate Nazis, but he might be Wilhelm Lohmer or someone like John Walker, whose counterpart in world ruled by the Nazis post-WWII world would have been raised under that ideology. Alternatively, he might be from a world where fascism rose not in Germany but America - the Nazis rose to power in Germany in part because of that nation's financial collapse post-WWI, promising to fix that and finding a convenient ethnic group, Jews, to scapegoat; in another reality a similar movement could easily have risen to power in the United States as a result of the Great Depression.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Hawkeye

When the walls between realities were breached, Hawkeye was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Only seen in a single panel as a distorted and dying face, this is presumably Hawkeye based purely on the H on his mask's forehead.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Hercules

When the walls between realities were breached, Hercules was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Clearly a variant of 616 Hercules, seen in only a single panel of the story.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Heros

When the walls between realities were breached, Heros was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Heros is one of the characters from Barry Windsor-Smith's Young Gods series which debuted (afaik) in Barry Windsor-Smith's Storyteller, published by Dark Horse in 1996, the year after Ultraforce/Avengers#1 came out. Thus his appearance in that story predates his official debut. However, some of the Young Gods characters were previewed in 1993's Dynamic Forces Creator's Universe trading cards, specifically Heros, then named Bron (see card to right) and Strangehands.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Hulk

When the walls between realities were breached, Hulk was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Based on the feet and ripped purple pants this leg-only cameo was clearly a variant of the Hulk.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Iron Man-616

One of the Earth-616 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Iron Man was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Iron Man joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, Iron Man and most of the other 616 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events back in their native reality.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Iron Man (Tony Stark).

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Iron Man

When the walls between realities were breached, Iron Man was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Distinguishable from 616 Iron Man by his yellow greaves, this alternate was only seen in the panel where he was slain.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Itazura

When the walls between realities were breached, Itazura was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Developed by Howard Chaykin from a concept by Isaac Asimov, Itazura's cameo in Ultraforce/Avengers#1 marked her debut, before making her first full appearance in Tekno Comics' I-Bots#1 (December 1995), written by Steven Grant and penciled by George Perez.

The I-Bots ("Independent-Bot") were sentient organic robots each possessing superhuman abilities. Created by Zac Robillard to protect humans, they became costumed crimefighters. Itazura ("Mischief" in Japanese) possessed superhuman agility and clawed fingers.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Killaine

When the walls between realities were breached, Killaine was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Developed by Howard Chaykin from a concept by Isaac Asimov, Killaine's cameo in Ultraforce/Avengers#1 marked her debut, before making her first full appearance in Tekno Comics' I-Bots#1 (December 1995), written by Steven Grant and penciled by George Perez.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

"Knight Moon"

When the walls between realities were breached, Knight Moon was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: A variant of Moon Knight who seems to have the red eye and crescent red moon symbol associated with Ultaverse's Night Man, hence my decision to unofficially dub him Knight Moon.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Komodo

When the walls between realities were breached, Komodo was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Dan Brereton, Komodo first appeared in The Nocturnals#1 (January 1995), published by Malibu's Bravura imprint.

A human/animal hybrid created by the Narn K Corporation's Monster Shop, Komodo escaped them with the help of the Nocturnals and so joined their number for a time.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Lord Pumpkin

When the walls between realities were breached, Lord Pumpkin was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Theoretically this might just the 93060 villainous Lord Pumpkin, wisely deciding to make himself scarce because dozens of heroes have suddenly shown up. But since everyone else was meant to be a heroic Avenger or Ultraforce member, I'm going to ASSume this was a similarly heroic alternate reality Lord Pumpkin unless and until we get evidence to the contrary.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Maestro

When the walls between realities were breached, Maestro was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: A variant of the evil future Hulk known as the Maestro, except that he's purple. Or maybe a version of the evil Hulklike Reed Richards counterpart known as the Brute, who is purple to begin with, after said Brute went down the same kind of life path that turned Hulk into Maestro.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

The Mighty Magnor

When the walls between realities were breached, Magnor was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Sergio Aragonés, Magnor first appeared in Malibu's The Might Magnor#1 (April 1993).

Cadet 2-P-2 was an alien soldier working for the incredibly paranoid King Trepid. Suspecting that Earth was plotting to destroy him (as he wrongly suspect everything and everyone of plotting to destroy him), Trepid dispatched 2-P-2 to Earth to investigate this suspicion and then destroy the Earth, just to be safe. However 2-P-2 crashed and was left amnesiac. Wandering the streets he ran into C.J. Delaney and Gil Gillman, a comic book writer-artist team that had been charged by their aggressive editor-in-chief Charles "Attila" Hunsecker to produce a new superhero character for Apex Comics. Seeking a model for inspiration, they dressed the suggestible 2-P-2 in a costume and dubbed him Magnor ("What does it mean?" "Who knows? But it sounds like a comic book hero.") Left alone with the two men's comic collection overnight, and with his mind otherwise a blank slate, Magnor absorbed the contents like a sponge and, armed with his alien powers, began playing the part of a superhero for real.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Nova

When the walls between realities were breached, Nova was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: It's possible that this is a different flame-covered flying woman, but the most obvious option that sprang to mind upon seeing her is that this is a variant of Nova, in 616 a former Herald of Galactus.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Omega

When the walls between realities were breached, Omega was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: As revealed in The Stan Lee Story by Roy Thomas, in 1995 Stan Lee and a handful of Marvel writers and artists began working on a new line of comic books, intended to be released under the imprint title of Excelsior Comics. It was to be Stan's own small group of titles outside of regular Marvel continuity. One of the four initial titles was to be Omega by Kurt Busiek and Rob McCallum. Omega was a fallen angel sent to Earth to redeem himself after failing to protect another world from its own destruction due to greed and corruption. On Earth he faced opposition from the powerful psychic and cult leader Oracle and his henchmen Slime, Cypher, Destiny and Pandora. Unfortunately, after considerable work had been done on the Excelsior line Marvel decided not to go ahead with it, and cancelled all four titles. As a result Omega's cameo in Ultraforce/Avengers#1 marks his only comic appearance, and that issue plus The Stan Lee Story, which showed a few sample pencil pages from his issues, remain the only places he's ever appeared, at least to date.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Pigsy

When the walls between realities were breached, Pigsy was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Ron Lim and Peter Quinones, inspired by the 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West, Sun Wu-Kung debuted in Dragon Lines#1 (Epic Comics, May 1993).

A skilled martial artist and acrobat, Pigsy was a member of the Celestial Culture Show's acrobatic performance troop, and when his colleague Li Chang discovered he was really Sun Wu'Kung, the Monkey King, Pigsy became an ally in fighing the Kuei Emperor's plans to reshape the world. To assist him in this, the same Demi-God who awoke Sun Wu'Kung used the Dragon Lines to give Pigsy superhuman strength and durability.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Polychrome

When the walls between realities were breached, Polychrome was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Created by Dan Brereton, Polychrome first appeared in The Nocturnals#1 (January 1995), published by Malibu's Bravura imprint.

Calliope (last name unrevealed) was a grifter working under the alias Polyanna Shale, married to a mob boss, Rex, but leaking information to her police detective lover as she played both sides off against one another. Unfortunately Rex discovered this and he and his men brutally murdered her. Death was not the end however, as the rage she felt as she died ensured that Calliope became a wraith, a vengeaful ghost that for decades haunted the house where her body lay hidden and rotting in the attic, and venturing out at night to spread terror. Though she slew many people, including most of her killers, she was unable to move on because Rex had escaped overseas, out of her reach, so she became feral, attacking anyone who crossed her path. That stopped when Doc Horror and Halloween Girl became the first people to brave the abandoned house the wraith dwelt in. Halloween Girl's innate rapport with ghosts calmed Calliope's ghost down, and after getting closure with Rex, whose life she spared for the sake of their shared daughter and grandchildren, she joined Doc Horror's Nocturnals.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Prime-93060

One of the Earth-93060 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Prime was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Prime joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, Prime and the other 93060 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Prime. He has a full Appendix entry.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

"Prime Man"

When the walls between realities were breached, "Prime Man" was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Seen only in the panel where he died, and with a costume that has Luke Cage's chain belt but Prime's chest logo, I am assuming this is a composite character, hence dubbing him unofficially Prime Man. It's worth mentioning that the sketch universe had a similar merger, albeit with slightly more Luke Cage to it, as evidence by a memorial statue in Avengers Stockade (see right). Since that version was dead by the time of the battle with Nemesis, he doesn't merit his own subprofile, but the overlap with this character does earn him a mention.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Proctor

When the walls between realities were breached, Proctor was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060. As he began to materialize he spotted his hated foe Dane Whitman and tried to shoot him, but died before he could do so as the materialization process finished, leaving him partially inside a wall.

Comments: Since the main Proctor was a variant Dane Whitman and Avenger in his own reality, I ASSume this Proctor was too. It's debatable if he counts as an "Ultravenger" as (even assuming he was a good guy and not a villain) he died before they could come together to fight Nemesis. But I figure better to include him as a "maybe" than err by omitting him.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Prototype (sketch)

Prototype (Jimmy Ruiz) was a member of the sketch universe's Avengers at the time when the unstable creation collapsed. Ending up on Earth-93060 with his teammates and encountering Ultraforce and the 616 Avengers, he subsequently joined the battle against Nemesis, only to be slain by her. Like most of the other sketch Avengers, Prototype was reborn on the New World, a more stable version of the sketch universe; in this revised reality the team was called Ultraforce and they retained no recollection of their meeting the other Avengers and UItraforces.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Prototype

One of the Earth-93060 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Prototype (Jimmy Ruiz) was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Prototype joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, while the other 93060 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events, Ruiz had been replaced as Prototype by his predecessor, Bob Campell (see comments).

Comments: This is the "real"/"main"Prototype (Jimmy Ruiz). He has a full Appendix entry. I ASSume that though he was no longer Prototype in the rejigged Ultraverse, Ruiz was probably still reborn like everyone else.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Psy-4

When the walls between realities were breached, Psy-4 was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Developed by Howard Chaykin from a concept by Isaac Asimov, Psy-4's cameo in Ultraforce/Avengers#1 marked his debut, before making his first full appearance in Tekno Comics' I-Bots#1 (December 1995), written by Steven Grant and penciled by George Perez.

The I-Bots ("Independent-Bot") were sentient organic robots each possessing superhuman abilities. Created by Zac Robillard to protect humans, they became costumed crimefighters. In Psy-4's case he could remotely control and reprogram any machinery that had computer chips.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Quicksilver (sketch)

Quicksilver was a member of the sketch universe's Avengers at the time when the unstable creation collapsed. Ending up on Earth-93060 with his teammates and encountering Ultraforce and the 616 Avengers, he subsequently joined the battle against Nemesis, only to be slain by her. While most of the other sketch Avengers were reborn apparently unchanged on the New World, a more stable version of the sketch universe, the version of Quicksilver there was a black man (see comments); in this revised reality the team was called Ultraforce and they retained no recollection of their meeting the other Avengers and UItraforces.

Comments: Given the change to his ethnicity in the New World, the Quicksilver there could be the same guy revised by the reality reboot, or a different person with the same codename and powers. Without knowing more about the New World version it is impossible to be certain which is correct.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Radiant

When the walls between realities were breached, Radiant was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Developed by Howard Chaykin from a concept by Isaac Asimov, Radiant's cameo in Ultraforce/Avengers#1 marked her debut, before making her first full appearance in Tekno Comics' I-Bots#1 (December 1995), written by Steven Grant and penciled by George Perez.

The I-Bots ("Independent-Bot") were sentient organic robots each possessing superhuman abilities. Created by Zac Robillard to protect humans, they became costumed crimefighters. In Radiant's case, she generated blinding energy that could also disrupt machinery.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Ranger

When the walls between realities were breached, Ranger was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Seen in only a single panel fighting alongside Prototype and Iron Man was the golden armored individual seen on the left. Though I am by no means certain of my identification, and it could be a variant of either of those armored adventurers, I think it is instead a variant of Earth-93060's Ranger (Bob Campbell), as shown to the right. While not a perfect match, the helmet shape is similar, and though Ranger-93060 does also have purple segments in his armor, his upper body is mostly golden, like the character on the left.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

J.J. Sachs

When the walls between realities were breached, Sachs was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Created by Peter David and George Perez, Sachs debuted in Epic Comics' Sachs & Violens#1 (November 1993).

Juantia Jean Sachs was a soft-core model and thrillseeker who teamed up with her friend, photographer Ernie "Violens" Schultz, to hunt down the murderer of a mutual friend.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Sandy

When the walls between realities were breached, Sandy was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Created by Ron Lim and Peter Quinones, inspired by the 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West, Sun Wu-Kung debuted in Dragon Lines#1 (Epic Comics, May 1993).

A skilled martial artist and acrobat, Sandy was a member of the Celestial Culture Show's acrobatic performance troop, and when her colleague Li Chang discovered he was really Sun Wu'Kung, the Monkey King, she became his ally in fighing the Kuei Emperor's plans to reshape the world. To assist her in this, the same Demi-God who awoke Sun Wu'Kung used the Dragon Lines to give Sandy superhuman agility and durability.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

"Scarlet Queen"

When the walls between realities were breached, the Scarlet Queen was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her, despite Vision-616's attempting to save her.

Comments: A variant of Scarlet Witch, but in a costume even more revealing than usual, and one that reminds me of the Hellfire Club's White and Black Queens. That, plus what look somewhat like H earrings make me think this is a version of Wanda who ended up in the Hellfire Club, and since the Club has historically had "Red" nobles alongside the White and Black ones, I figured a good unofficial name would be Scarlet Queen.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Sersi-616

One of the Earth-616 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Sersi was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Sersi joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, Sersi and most of the other 616 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events back in their native realities.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Sersi.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Siren

One of the Earth-93060 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Siren was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Siren joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, she and the other 93060 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Siren. She has an Appendix entry.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Sludge

When the walls between realities were breached, Sludge was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Despite only a gloopy arm being visible, this looks very much like Sludge, perhaps even the regular Ultraverse version.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Spider-Man

When the walls between realities were breached, Spider-Man was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: A version of Spider-Man (or maybe a Spider-Woman, given what might be a ponytail) wearing the same kind of jacket that various 616 Avengers started wearing in this same era.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

"Spider-Wasp"

When the walls between realities were breached, Spider-Wasp was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Wearing an Ant-Man style helmet but with a W for Wasp on the top and webbing patterened shoulders and arms, this seems to be a combo of Spider-Man and the Wasp, hence the unofficial moniker of Spider-Wasp.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Starfish

When the walls between realities were breached, Starfish was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Created by Dan Brereton, Starfish first appeared in The Nocturnals#1 (January 1995), published by Malibu's Bravura imprint.

Apparently the last member of an ancient race of amphibious humanoids that went extinct before humanity evolved, Starfish's egg was found buried in an Alaskan peat bog by Doc Horror, who artificially incubated it until it hatched into a tadpole-like being. Growing to adulthood within two years Starfish joined Doc Horror's Nocturnals.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Starfox-616

One of the Earth-616 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Starfox was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Starfox joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, he and most of the other 616 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events back in their native reality.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Starfox.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

"Steel Surfer"

When the walls between realities were breached, Steel Surfer was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: A variant of the Silver Surfer, but without his smooth skin, instead having a more ridged look akin to the steel-skinned Colossus, hence my choice of unofficial codename, Steel Surfer.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Stonewall

When the walls between realities were breached, Stonewall was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Developed by Howard Chaykin from a concept by Isaac Asimov, Stonewall's cameo in Ultraforce/Avengers#1 marked his debut, before making his first full appearance in Tekno Comics' I-Bots#1 (December 1995), written by Steven Grant and penciled by George Perez.

The I-Bots ("Independent-Bot") were sentient organic robots each possessing superhuman abilities. Created by Zac Robillard to protect humans, they became costumed crimefighters. In Stonewall's case, he used his invulnerable body to act as a human shield to protect others.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Storm

When the walls between realities were breached, Storm was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Storm, but dressed more like Topaz, complete with energy staff, suggesting a variant Ororo who belongs to a version of Ultraforce.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Strangehands

When the walls between realities were breached, Strangehands was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Strangehands is one of the characters from Barry Windsor-Smith's Young Gods series which debuted (afaik) in Barry Windsor-Smith's Storyteller, published by Dark Horse in 1996, the year after Ultraforce/Avengers#1 came out. Thus his appearance in that story predates his official debut. However, some of the Young Gods characters were previewed in 1993's Dynamic Forces Creator's Universe trading cards, specifically Bron (renamed Heros when the story actually came out) and Strangehands.

Dedicated to the memory of Jack Kirby, Young Gods unashamedly owed some of its inspirations to his New Gods, both in terms of character designs and conceptually, with the lead characters being, as the series' name suggests, the younger members of some godly pantheons that lived out in space. Strangehands was the cousin of Heros, and nephew to All-Father Otan, head of one of the pantheons. Like his cousin and their compatriot Adastra he was unaging, superhumanly strong and durable, and could fly. His nickname, Strangehands, resulted from his largely undefined magical powers that manifested through his hands.

Sub-Mariner

When the walls between realities were breached, Sub-Mariner was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: This may be the same variant Namor whose right foot is visible on the page prior to the 2 page spread, but if not there's more than one Namor around. That he's dressed in the classic outfit of DC's Aquaman can't be a coincidence; Perez was clearly amusing himself.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Sun Wu'Kung

When the walls between realities were breached, Sun Wu'Kung was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Ron Lim and Peter Quinones, inspired by the 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West, Sun Wu-Kung debuted in Dragon Lines#1 (Epic Comics, May 1993).

Chinese acrobat Li Chang of the Celestial Culture Show's performance troop was unaware he was really the legendary Monkey King Sun Wu'Kung, his true identity and nature put to sleep by the gods. However, when the Kuei Emperor plotted to realign the Earth's mystical Dragon Lines in order to reshape the world, a Demi-God woke Sun Wu'Kung and charged him and his compatriots with saving the world.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Superman

When the walls between realities were breached, Superman was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: A sneaky Superman cameo, as evidenced by the costume's color scheme and distinctive design of the top of his boots.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Terraxia

When the walls between realities were breached, Terraxia was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: With Thanos' very distinctive headpiece and chin, but long flowing hair, this looks to be a female variant of the Mad Titan. Since we already have one of those, I'm ASSuming this one has the same name - Terraxia.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Thing

When the walls between realities were breached, the Thing was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: The shoulder pads mark him as a member of some variant of Ultraforce, but otherwise he looks very much like the 616 Thing.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Thor-616

One of the Earth-616 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Thor was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Thor joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, he and most of the other 616 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events back in their native realities.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Thor.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Thor (sketch)

Thor was a member of the sketch universe's Avengers at the time when the unstable creation collapsed. Ending up on Earth-93060 with his teammates and encountering Ultraforce and the 616 Avengers, he subsequently joined the battle against Nemesis, only to be slain by her. Like most of the other sketch Avengers, he was reborn on the New World, a more stable version of the sketch universe; in this revised reality the team was called Ultraforce and they retained no recollection of their meeting the other Avengers and UItraforces.

Comments: Like Father Thor above, the sketch Thor appears on the Alex Ross cover to Secret Wars#2.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Tiger

When the walls between realities were breached, Tiger was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew her.

Comments: Created by George Perez, Tiger debuted in Ultraforce/Avengers#1, before appearing in Crimson Plague#1 (Event Comics, June 1997).

Shannon Lower, a.k.a. Tiger, was the tough as nails commander of troops sent to hunt down Crimson Plague.

Creator-owned by George Perez, Crimson Plague's entire cast of characters were based on real people; the real life Shannon Lower ("it ryhmes with cannon power") has a tiger tattoo just like her comics counterpart, which inspired her character's codename.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Topaz

One of the Earth-93060 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Topaz was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Topaz joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, she and the other 93060 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Topaz, who has her own Appendix entry.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Topaz (sketch)

Topaz was a member of the sketch universe's Avengers at the time when the unstable creation collapsed. Ending up on Earth-93060 with her teammates and encountering Ultraforce and the 616 Avengers, she subsequently joined the battle against Nemesis, only to be slain by her. Like most of the other sketch Avengers, she was reborn on the New World, a more stable version of the sketch universe; in this revised reality the team was called Ultraforce and they retained no recollection of their meeting the other Avengers and UItraforces.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Ernie "Violens" Schultz

When the walls between realities were breached, Violens was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew him.

Comments: Created by Peter David and George Perez, Violens debuted in Epic Comics' Sachs & Violens#1 (November 1993).

After the murder of a mutual friend, Vietnam veteran and photographer Ernie Schultz teamed up with friend and model J.J. Sachs to turn vigilante and hunt down the killer.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Vision-616

One of the Earth-616 heroes present when Nemesis confronted both the Avengers and Ultraforce, Vision was teleported to Earth-93060 when the sketch universe collapsed, and subsequently took part in the battle against Nemesis. One of the survivors when Nemesis ripped most of the group apart, Vision joined in the coordinated assault that distracted Nemesis long enough for Dane Whitman-616 to get close enough to defeat her. Slain like everyone else by the subsequent energy discharge, he and most of the other 616 heroes were reborn with fading memories of recent events back in their native reality.

Comments: This is the "real"/"main" Vision.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Vision

When the walls between realities were breached, Vision was among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060. He startled Crystal and Black Knight-616 by phasing through wall, emerging face first through the corpse of Proctor. Making bizarre small talk, he informed the pair that they had a nice place, excused himself as he walked through the Knight, and then casually walked off to join the battle against Nemesis, who slew him.

Comments: A Vision variant from an unrevealed reality, he had feet and a face designed to look human, but the rest of his body was metallic, with his torso, shoulders and limbs resembling masses of entwined cables.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

White

When the walls between realities were breached, White and her partner Black were among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew them.

Comments: Created by Art Thibert and Anthony Thibert, White debuted in Supreme#10 (February 1994)

Hong Kong-born martial artist and thrill-seeker Whitney Samson is the vigilante White, working in partnership with retired British secret service agent Reed Blackett, a.k.a. Black.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Chrysalis, Knightwolf, Star Sabre

When the walls between realities were breached, Chrysalis, Knightwolf and Star Sabre were among the individuals who found themselves on Earth-93060 and joined the battle against Nemesis until that villain slew them.

Comments: Chrysalis, Knightwolf and Star Sabre are named in the indicia as being trademarks of K.H. Kanalz and J.K. Moore, and so are presumably included in the two page spread alongside the other non-Marvel characters. That means they are presumably three out of the four characters yet to be identified from that montage. However, which one is which, and who the fourth character is, remains a mystery. Presumably the comics they were intended to appear in never actually got published, but if anyone reading this knows different then please do drop us a line!

The character to the right reminds me of Darkhawk, perhaps merged with Rom.

--Ultraforce/Avengers#1

Many Thors

Based on thrown hammers (and a cross), at least nine versions of Thor took part in the battle with Nemesis. Of those, #2 belonged to sketch Thor, #4 ia Mjolnir-616 and #7 is Father Thor's cross. There's enough visible of #3 and #8 to match them to their Thors, assuming said Thor's have appeared elsewhere. #1 has a wooden handle with leather wrapped round the handle and a leather strap, which matches Stormcaster, the hammer 616 Loki gave 616 Storm - but it's also a very generic look that might match any number of Mjolnirs.

Alternate Ebony Blade

The new sword found by Black Knight seemed to be a counterpart to the Ebony Blade, but with what appeared to be a Swastika on the pommel, which might suggest it came from a Nazi-dominated reality at first glance. However, if it was a variant of the blade, then it's likely that design wasn't related to Nazis, for the very simply reason that even the most variant of alternate realities would be pushing it to find a way to justify Arthurian Britain in the 5th/6th century, the time when the Blade was forged, being run by Nazis. Given that the Swastika predates the pernicious fascist ideology that co-opted it and with which it has become inextricably interlinked, it's more likely that the Swastika here reflects one of those earlier associations. Since the "broken sun cross" was associated with Vikings, the Blade might have originated from a timeline where the Vikings conquered Britain prior to Arthur's rule. Vikings incursions into Britain didn't start until a few centuries later in the real world (and in 616), but those incursions beginning a few centuries earlier in some alternate reality seems more reasonable than the Nazis being around more than 1000 years early (unless time travel gets involved).

And the rest

Various and sundry yet to be identified, who are all presumably either variants of Marvel or Ultraverse characters, or perhaps sneaky Easter eggs of non-Marvel character (like Superman's legs, above).

A variant of a non-Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze perhaps? Or a variant Johnny Domino (a.k.a. Night Man)?

I feel I should recognize this one.

A distinctive hand holding a distinctive sword - but who?

An overly frizzy Chewbacca? Okay, probably not, but another I feel should be identifiable.

Purple boots (but not Paladin's; the design is wrong for him).

Another Thor.

The face and the costume, what little is visible, do look familiar.

Whose legs?

Jet boots.

The leg design and loin cloth design look familiar. My first though was Ikaris, but his loin piece has a different design on it.

Who is this flying woman?
