What would AIM do with the Cosmic Cube?

[thanekos]

Take over the world, sure, but how would they do it?

I mean, they make the damn things, but usually someone else boosts it first.



Now, they didn't make it this time, I should say to start.

Reed Richards did, in an earlier Ultimate Fantastic Four storyline, using the science of Ultimate Thanos as a part of the latter's long game...

...but that storyline was resolved, the Cube dumped back in time and Ultimate Thanos sent to a fate I vaguely remember.

And the UF4 disbanded in the wake of Ultimatum, with Reed currently living at his parents'.

However, he left his notes behind.

And AIM boosted them.

The result?



They got to make it after all.

And their plan is just straight up renovation. Fair enough.

...AIM: total nerds of one discipline or another, to a man.

Meant in the best possible sense, of course.

also, skull's kinda rocking anthony hopkins face here, isn't he?



AIM has objectivists.

It really takes all kinds, doesn't it?

Anyhow, Skull and his new buddies gun the oddly uniformed Commander Supreme down.

" My contact told me I would find something interesting if I came out of retirement. " he opines...



AHFFFF.... well, at least this was a pretty good story the first time around.

bonus: there's been a method to supervillain Zodiac's madness, as he explains to HAMMER agent Murph what he's been gunning for the whole time...



ah, so that's why he decapitated the entire Zodiac!

and he's in a pretty neat place, when it's all said and done:



dude?

your henchmen include a legacy member of the Circus of Crime, Nekra's illegitimate daughter, and Manslaughter flippin' Marsdale.

You've got brag, but you don't exactly have a hot pool of talent, there.

Now, Norman? Has brag and a nice group to draw from:
