10 Superheroes Screwed Over By Reboots

In the early 2000s, Marvel fans were treated to a bold new experiment by Marvel: the Ultimate Universe.

The idea was simple - boil down all of their mainline properties into their most iconic elements and put them in the hands of all star writers and see what they come up with. Giving fans a new version of the Marvel universe that doesn't outright replace the old one, but gives new fans a jumping on point without decades of baggage.

The merits of the Ultimate Universe, especially in its later years, are not what's being discussed here, the fact is that this is a Marvel that a lot of fans grew up with, and thanks to Secret Wars 2015, that universe is gone. Besides Miles and Ultimate Reed Richards - who has rebranded into the supervillain The Maker - the rest of this reimagined Marvel universe has vanished from comics altogether.

Now, granted, the comics have since established that the Ultimate Universe is still out there, but not properly, because we haven't' actually SEEN them come back for real. How could any other hero come close? It's hard to screw over a group of characters more than just wiping them all off the face of the multiverse.
