Maker (character)

The Maker (previously Mister Fantastic, also known as Ultimate Reed Richards) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writers Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar and artist Adam Kubert, while his Maker identity was created by Jonathan Hickman. He is Ultimate Marvel's (Earth-1610) version of Mister Fantastic, initially presented as a heroic, morally altruistic and scientifically driven superhero and a younger, modernized alternate version of Reed Richards, who later turns into the villainous Maker, after enduring a series of tragedies and immense mental trauma; he eventually becomes part of the regular Marvel Universe, serving as an enemy and evil foil to his parallel universe counterpart, the New Avengers, and Eddie Brock/Venom, serving as an example of what his Earth-616 counterpart could have been had he used his powers and intellect for malice. However, during the "Absolute Carnage" and "King in Black" storylines, the Maker revealed he had been coordinating with the Council of Reeds (a group of other alternate counterparts of Mister Fantastic) and had utilized the many Symbiote Codexes he had extracted from the various heroes and villains who had been previous hosts as a means to repeat his long-standing goal: restoring his native dimension (not knowing that it has already been restored as revealed during the events of Spider-Men II storyline), which he sets out to enact in the 2023 miniseries Ultimate Invasion, resulting in the creation of the new Ultimate Universe after altering the timeline of another universe.
