Yeah, I think that Ulysses was a bit of a wasted opportunity in that they foisted him up to cosmic status at the end of the series. It could spin off into an interesting cosmic tale I'm sure, but in terms of exploring his powers prior to that, and the story telling potential it seems like they kind of tossed it away.

However, just because he has been made into a cosmic entity doesn't mean he can't get downgraded. Years ago, they did this story where the Beyonder and Molecule Man were merged together to form a Cosmic Cube only to be separated later. So the possibility of Ulysses coming back to his previous state is within the realm of possibility.

I think that they could have done more with the character, even if it was something as cliché as making him try to better the world, but in the end his actually the villain of the story (Kind of like Ozymendias in Watchmen)

I think an interesting story would have been one where Ulysses becomes a threat to the throne of the Inhumans. Since he can see the future, then certainly there would be segments of Inhumanity that would prefer him to be their leader to promote whatever Inhuman agenda. An Inhuman Civil War if you will. I could get into a story where maybe Ulysses gets manipulated or driven mad by Maximus and becomes a tyrant.
