Mutants vs. Ultras: First Encounters #1

In "Monsters of Manhattan Part I," Prime awakens in a twisted version of New York, where a gamma-powered monster unleashed by the mad scientist Wildeman terrorizes the streets. When he tries to stop Wildeman from abducting a young girl, the Hulk arrives—mistaking Prime for the threat—and the two clash in a brutal fight that could end in disaster for both.

In "Monsters of Manhattan Part II," Hulk’s trust in the seemingly harmless gamma scientist Wildeman shatters when he realizes the truth—Wildeman isn’t the ally he claimed to be. With Prime momentarily spared, the two heroes turn their fury on Wildeman, who responds by transforming into a monstrous embodiment of his own dark experiments.

In the eerie depths of an alternate dimension, Night Man stumbles into a twisted carnival maze, only to be pursued by security guards and forced into hidden tunnels. There, he crosses paths with a furious Wolverine, and after a brutal exchange, the two realize they’re trapped in one of Arcade’s deadly Murderworlds—now facing a series of lethal challenges just to survive.

In "X-Over," the X-Men venture into the Ultraverse in search of the missing Juggernaut, only to find him entrenched in a new world where he’s chosen to stay. With the help of the Exiles, they confront the strange reality of his decision—without knowing if they’ll succeed in bringing him back.
