Marvel Comics often used the Ultimate Universe (Earth 1610) to do different things with popular characters. When it came to Ultimate Spider-Man this involved a bode swap or switch story ft Peter Parker and Wolverine. Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley deliver a cursed panel in the form of an implied assault upon Mary Jane Watson. We discuss how it all came about here on Casually Comics!

Are you looking forward to/enjoying the new Ultimate Universe?

So Jean Grey wanted to punish Logan for hitting on her, by putting Logan's mind in a body that had ample opportunity to have non consensual sex?
With great power comes great responsibility, Jean!

Spider-Man cussing Jean Grey out is the best part of this story. Cause they deserved EVERYTHING he said to them.

Ah old Ultimate Universe

Where almost everyone is terrible person

The other underlying issue is the 'Who (if anyone) is it appropriate for an adult in a child's body, or a child in an adult's body, to have sex with?' It is a question that literally never needs to be asked, but comic-book and screenwriters keep asking anyway.

It’s kinda funny to look at the panels of Bendis poking fun at how weird the whole body swapping story line is when you know the concept will be reused three different times for the ultimate cartoon

Ah yes, Sasha’s cursed panel series. The… gift? That keeps on giving.

Fun fact: the first ever body swap tale was the short story "the Great Keinplatz Experiment," written by Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle in Belgravia magazine in 1885. It was about an experiment using hypnosis to see if souls could leave live people. The two subject's souls get reversed, when the souls return to the wrong bodies. Ultimately, they don't tell their wives and families because they are afraid of being assumed insane.

It would have ended perfectly with the panel of Spiderman screaming out of frustration at the X-Men.

It's pretty wild how the whole mind swap thing didn't have that much disturbing implication when I read it back in middle school but now Ultimate Logan just comes across way more creepy than he really should've been.

Jean Grey grossly misusing her powers to fuck with peoples brains is a theme that just keeps on happening too.

@abdelali9279 2 years ago

The biggest takeaway is, sometime the X-Men make it difficult for humans to accept mutants when they like to abuse their powers from time to time, also Hugh Jackman and Tom Holland doing a freaky friday, I'd watch that as well.

@timross5351 2 years ago

This really bothers me because Logan has (in the 616) been repeatedly shown to have no interest in underage girls (although with MJ there is always his weakness for redheads). Also, he's a teacher! Things like this are why I gave the UU a skip.

@philiphunn194 2 years ago

The fact that Nick Lowe came up with this story arc says it all, really. Man's a menace.

@booksvsmovies 2 years ago (edited)

The fact that Brian Michael Bendis wrote one of the best explorations of sexual violence in comics and this is... shocking. I know writing one good comic does not bar you from writing a bad one. But how someone could write Alias and this just doesn't compute for me.

@demonpniff 2 years ago

Violence, sex, cannibalism and serious mental problems. The ultimate universe in a nutshell.

@infinityalbi9840 2 years ago

Wasn't this the same Jean Grey who back in volume 1 of Ultimate X-Men went on vacation with Logan, kissed him multiple times and is very strongly implied that she had sex with, all of her own free will and some of that IN FRONT OF HER OWN BOYFRIEND?! AND NOW SHE WANTS TO PLAY THE VICTIM, ALL THE WHILE GETTING SOMEONE WHO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROBLEM INVOLVED?!

@Dhampir101980 2 years ago

You should also cover the panel during the clone saga where peter punches/ backhands Mary Jane while she was pregnant.

It could be an interesting conversation on why Peter was immediately forgiven by MJ and the fandom, but Hank Pym wasn’t, despite doing the exact same thing
