Captain America: Same old same old, WW2 soldier who sacrificed himself to bring down the Red Skull's nuclear missile. However, after he was freed there was a side effect of all those years in the ice. He began aging twice as fast as a regular human, which makes him more aggressive, but also more powerful. He leads the Ultimates and is constantly arguing with Iron Man, the regular douchebag.

Ant-Girl: Janet van Dyne chooses the guise of Ant-Girl rather than Wasp, since Hank becomes Yellowjacket right away, he never had time as Ant-Man, leaving the helmet and mantle to Jan.

Quicksilver: Absoluetly no relation to Magneto or Scarlet Witch, Lana Maximoff was a scientist attempting to uncover the secrets behind the speed of light, but an experiment went wrong giving her super speed powers.

Agent X: Jason Reacher is an OC (inspired by the movie, Jack Reacher). He had a militaristic childhood which led to his early induction into S.H.I.E.L.D. He was the only volunteer for a certain project which turned him into the ultimate weapon. It allowed his DNA to be manipulated by the S.H.I.E.L.D Scientists turning him into whatever they wanted.

Iron Woman: Pepper Potts, Stark Industries CEO and Tony's girlfriend (even though she is constantly mad at him). When the Ultimates were all in trouble, Tony contacted Pepper and told her to put on a suit and help them. She discovered she had her own, but she got pissed at Tony for making it so slutty, but she helped out as Iron Woman anyways.

Psylocke: Sister of Captain Britain, she helps him defend Britain, and when the Ultimates come to Britain for an emergency, Psylocke wants her and her brother to join, but he does not wish to, so they only remain allies of the American heroes.

Baron Zemo: Christopher Redfield was an outcast for his whole life, but he was obsessed with World War 2. He loved Captain America, and when he returned, Christopher went out of his way to meet him, but Cap broke his heart by saying he works alone and Christopher does not have what it takes to be his equal, so he vows to get his revenge, joining the organization called HYDRA under the guise of Helmut Zemo, eventually becoming a Baron, proving to the Captain they were equals, even though he refused to believe it.

Ultimate Android: Essentially the Super Adaptoid. He was developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. to assist the Ultimates, but after being corrupted by Ultron, it evolved to become more powerful and became hellbent on killing every Ultimate.

Ghost Rider: Don't have much for him yet, but Danny Ketch is going to be quite a badass. I can promise you that.

The Captain: Luke Cage was a huge fan of Captain America, so he used his mutant super strength to become "The Captain". He tried to become an Ultimate, but was rejected. He continued to act as a Vigilante until being recruited by Nick Fury to join the Avengers.

Deadpool: Wade Wilson had a perfect life as a very nonserious person until he was diagnosed with brain cancer. It was starting to make him lose his mind, he was approached by the Weapon X program who offered to cure him. He was turned into Deadpool, and he was grateful to not have cancer anymore, but his insanity stuck with him. He was a member of the Weapon X until after Wolverine and Sabretooth left, deciding he wanted to make his own fun in the world.

Magneto: Former partner of Charles Xavier, he severed their partnership to raise his daughter, but they eventually crossed paths once more, although they disagreed about mutants' rightful place in the world. So while Xavier founded his school, Magneto began recruiting mutants with a similar goal as him.

Mystique: A former assassin who quit to raise her son, but eventually she "died" when they were hunted by a group of Christian purists, leaving her son to make his own path. Mystique later resurfaced, using this experience as her fire to want humans gone, even going so far to join her son's enemy's team of mutants.

Sabretooth: Victor Creed was James Howlett's half brother, and when they were young they ran away from home to live their lives without being ordered around. They went on many adventures together (which you can view on Wolverine's page) until Victor was eventually killed in an avalanche. However, his healing factor saved him, however he had suffered brain damage, making him more feral than before. This eventually allowed Magneto to convince him to join the Brotherhood.

Colossus: Piotr Rasputin's hatred for humans started after his little sister, Illyana, was shot and killed by her insane school teacher. He used his mutant powers to march into the school and kill the teacher before they could kill anymore children. He began moving around on his own killing anyone who would stand in his way, eventually joining Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants.

Avalanche: Don't know much about how he's gonna go yet either, but he's going to have a tragic childhood.

Hobgoblin: About a year after Harry had been revealed to be the Green Goblin, Norman was attempting to perfect the serum that changed him. During the first test, Norman was transformed into a creature that he called the Hobgoblin. His mind became twisted, blaming Spider-Man for his son getting arrested, and at that moment the Hobgoblin became Dylan Winters' greatest enemy.

Dr. Octopus: Otto Octavius was one of the founders of Alchemax, and he nominated Peter Parker for a job, which allowed him to become Lyle Getz' assistant. Otto was the only one interested in a partnership with Oscorp, so he eventually left to work for Osborn, finishing development of his mechanical arms. However, during an experiment, Norman's son, Green Goblin, caused a machine to malfunction, bonding the arms to Otto's spine, causing him to go insane.

Sub-Zero: David Desario's wife, Nora, was killed during a battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, causing him to want both of them dead. He wanted to take action himself, so he became a thief and tried to steal an ice ray from Oscorp, but interference from security caused him to be doused with ice chemicals, turning him into Sub-Zero.

Sandman: Flint Marko was one of the only survivors when a cruise ship crashed on a mysterious island within the Bermuda Triangle. He wandered away from the group, and discovered a pit of glowing sand. The night was very cold, and the pit was very warm. Desperate, Flint slept in the pit. When he awoke, he had transformed into a sand mutant. Going crazy he killed everyone else on the island, and he first meets Spider-Man when he is teleported to the Bermuda Triangle by Mysterio, who doesn't want him interfering with his plans.
