Well, shouldn't the Ultimate universe have SOME unique characters? To me they shouldn't always be dependent on the mainstream versions for inspiration.

I see the Ultimate universe as a remake of a movie. While they should be based somewhat of the original (in this case, the mainstream universe), they should also try some different things. Because if they keep it almost exactly the same, then what's the point?
