Marvel Comics names Mogul and Sightseer as their new Origin Boxes characters in Ultimate Impact: Reborn ahead of Armageddon<\/p>\n

Article Summary
\nMarvel introduces Mogul and Sightseer, new heroes born from the mysterious Ultimate Origin Boxes.

\nWriter Chris Condon reveals creative insights and homages behind developing these Marvel characters.

On Wednesday, Bleeding Cool reported on how\u00a0the Ultimate Origin Boxes<\/a>, brought from the Ultimate Universe by Miles Morales: Spider-Man to the Marvel Universe, were creating new heroes ahead of the Armageddon event. We’d previously seen Vin Lerner, a new Wonder Man<\/a>, and met Hostilicus, the Scourge of the Negative Zone\u2026<\/p>\n

..but covers to Reborn: Ultimate Impact<\/a>, suggested a new Doctor Strange, Captain Mar-Vell and Juggernaut as well, to new recipients in the Marvel Universe.<\/p>\n

And now we get to name the other two\u2026 Mogul and Sightseer, formed from Juggernaut and Doctor Strange\u2026 or maybe there’s a bit of a mix going on.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Writer Chris Condon, on The Comic Source podcast<\/a>, looking at the impact on the Marvel Universe of the Origin Boxes, he says;<\/p>\n

“When I was initially approached with the book, I actually turned it down because I didn’t have the space in my schedule to be able to do it and it’s kind of a big book. I just didn’t have the time to kind of commit to it. So I passed on it initially and then at the Marvel Summit last year\u00a0Tom [Brevoort, SVP and Executive Editor At Marvel Comics] and Nick Lowe [Spider-Man Senior Editor] approached me again and said, I know you passed on this but we’re kind of thinking about certain things here and at the Marvel Summit. As a committee just started throwing ideas around about power sets and things like that. And so that was really the only part that had any input from anybody else. Everything else was kind of just, you know, what do you want to do, Chris? And so I kind of went away and picked what I thought were my favourite power sets and what I thought would be interesting to play with, what if we do a spin on this and a spin on that\u2026 just push things into interesting territories. One of the characters\u2026\u00a0 I won’t reveal what it’s an homage to yet because they haven’t announced what it is, but it’s an homage to one of my favourite bands when I was growing up.”<\/p>\n

Sightseer<\/a> from Seattle? Mogul<\/a> from West Bromwich?<\/p>\n

“And so it was really fun for me to get to do that and to get to kind of play with that in an interesting. unique way. Marvel has, been really great and they’re not breathing down my neck and saying we need this, we need this, we need this. They just left me alone and said you do what you want to do. The only thing that somebody had mentioned, and they were like, yeah we actually really like that because we, also have the TV show coming out was Wonder Man. They really wanted Wonder Man in this. So, that that was kind of the only thing that was, “we would really like this in the book.” And I was like, okay, you got it. I’ve seen recently that they announced Hostilicus who’s is the big bad in the book. He’s one of the big bads, I should say. He’s just like a classic bad guy and I just love the name. I love the name playing off of Annihilus and he’s covered in Annihilus’s body. He leads a faction of people in the Negative Zone, they’re the followers of Annihilus and they’re locked in a forever war with Blastarr’s children. Both Blastarr and Annihilus are like ancient gods now. Nobody ever remembers actually seeing them or knowing them. But they fight and kill for these gods. Hostilicus leads the followers of Annihilus, and leads them into battle every day\u2026 he’s in the 6160 negative zone. So, it’s kind of playing with this idea of like what’s the Ultimate Universe Negative Zone like? And is Annihilus alive there? Is he not?”<\/p>\n
