Why DC’s Absolute Universe Beats Marvel’s Ultimate Universe 2.0

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

Marvel and DC Comics each created a new universe in which they built their iconic characters from the ground up. One was forged by the machinations of the Maker and the other was created through the power of Darkseid. Both have done well in terms of sales and fan response.

However, the Ultimate Universe is set to end in 2026. And DC’s Absolute Universe is poised to grow for years to come.

The time is right to take a step back and assess both universes as they’ve developed. In doing so, one thing became clear. Absolute DC is winning and Ultimate Marvel 2.0 has faltered.

Ultimate Universe One Year Later: Promise, Outlook, And Concerns

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In this video, I reflect on how Marvel’s all-new, all-different Ultimate Universe has developed over the course of the past year. It has been generally good, but with a fair amount of not-so-good here and there. Things did slow for a while, but new series and new developments in 2025 hold great promise that’s definitely worth discussing. Enjoy!

Thought Experiment: How Much Power Can One Person Effectively Wield?

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is another thought experiment about the nature of power and wielding it effectively. Whether in ancient times or during a modern day election season, people seek power and they seek to wield it. The extent to which they’re effective tends to vary wildly.

But that raises an important question. Just how much power can one person effectively wield?

The implications of this question are far-reaching. Our society needs people in power to run effectively. But what is the limit? And how do we navigate it? I welcome any additional insights or thoughts. Enjoy!

In this video, I take a moment to reflect on how far this new Ultimate Universe has come in the past year, where it may go moving forward, and potential pitfalls it may encounter along the way. Enjoy!
