The Ultimates. Recruited and developed by Professor James Carnell, a man determined to enhance individuals by unlocking their genetic potential, they were to be the world’s protectors. Part of his dream came true: the heroes exhibited abilities on the order of “the next level” of humanity. But when Carnell died, many of his goals died with him, and some—including a villain who believed the heroes a menace—are determined to eliminate the heroes before they became the very threat they were developed to combat.

This dark and thought–provoking title deals with the consequences of giving individuals great powers, despite good intentions. It’s written by Steven Grant and drawn with the classic style that is unmistakably Gil Kane in peak form.
