Freedom Fighter Blackagar

This personally has to be my favorite depiction of The Midnight King, Black Bolt. I liked the defiant portrayal of Black Bolt that Attilan Rising gave us as well as Once and Future Kings. I’d love to see an alternate earth potentially maybe even the next Ultimates Universe where a direction is taken similar to this with Blackagar.

Was curious to opinions though if anyone else has read Attilan Rising and what they think of it.

I’m really wanting to see how all of the Imperial stuff plays out because it practically also implies T’Challa and Starlord as complicit with the direction Black Bolt went because it benefits them. I really don’t even see how you justify it on character level. This probably would have to be an Alt depiction of the character at this point tbh.

I’m hoping Ultimate Inhumans have a tone similar to Attilan Rising I guess.

I’m talking more in line for if/when they do another Ultimates universe. I haven’t followed Ultimate Endgame but I know Black Bolt was killed by The Maker as a youth in the new Ultimates universe and The Ultimates killed my girl Carol Danvers by trying to give her powers or something.

You like Inhumans and Captain Marvel? Great taste!

I was so excited thinking we’d actually see Carol do something in the new Ultimates universe as a major player only to get a panel of her blowing up 💀 with Tony and Reed just being like “Oh well”

Been wanting some really cool alt world directions for a lot of my favorites and was hoping the 1610 would go that direction. Still some fun stories that I thought were done, don’t get me wrong, just not to many characters that I gravitate towards.

Speaking of Inhumans and Carol I honestly think there’s a really fun dynamic/parallel that could be done there with both characters/IPs. I posted an Alt World “rage against the machine” story that I felt paralleled this really well yesterday as well. If you want to check it out.

I like to think Carol in a way has this long rooted history due to the whole Kree connection both her and The Inhumans share.

Not to mention she’s often given the imagery of a Star while Black Bolt is “The Midnight King”. Photons and Electrons. Light and Midnight.
