Who are the immortal weapons?

Iron Fist is just one of several world-class warriors

The Immortal Weapons are an aspect of Iron Fist lore that was introduced in the 2007s Immortal Iron Fist #8By Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction and David Aja. Just as Iron FIst is K’un-Lon’s chosen warrior, there are seven others Mystical cities (aka the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven), each with their own protector. Each hero is the last link in a chain of legendary warriors, with their own unique powers and expertise. While one of the ‘Capital Cities of Heaven’ was locked until recently and the other was missing a champion since they were killed by Iron Fist’s predecessor, the traditional list of the Immortal Weapons is as follows:

The Immortal Weapons
Title	Real name	City	Powers	Signature weapon	First appearance
Iron fist	Danny Rand	K’un-lun	Key manipulation, including the ability to focus enormous power into one fist	The iron fist	Marvel Premiere #15 (1974)
The prince of orphans	John Amman	Z’Gambo	Key manipulation and the ability to turn into a useless green mist	Martial arts	Immortal Iron Fist #8 (2007)
Tiger’s beautiful daughter	Li Hua	Tiger Island	Key manipulation, immense strength, speed and agility	Bladed fans	Immortal Iron Fist #8 (2007)
Fat Cobra	Not known	Peng Lai	Chi manipulation, including the ability to evoke bioelectrical bursts	Martial arts	Immortal Iron Fist #8 (2007)
Dog brother #1	sizzling	under town	Key manipulation, enhanced senses, immunity to pain, control over dogs	Swords and dogs	Immortal Iron Fist #8 (2007)
Bride of Nine Spiders	Bride of Nine Spiders	Kingdom of Spiders	Key manipulation and control over spiders	Spiders and spiked collar	Immortal Iron Fist #8 (2007)
Additional members
Krain Champion	No current holder	K’un-zi	Chi manipulation, can absorb the chi of other citizens of K’un-Zi for healing and strength	No current holder	Immortal Iron Fist #8 (2007)
Sun Wukong	Monkey King	Eighth city	Superhuman physiology and shapeshifting	staff	Iron Man 2.0 #5 (2011)

Each of these beings killed an immortal dragon in order to claim their title, and has spent their lives fighting aliens, monsters and each other to hone their abilities. Apparently, in the new timeline created by the Maker, the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven were captured by his regime and their protectors given to the Hulk. The Immortal Weapons have no prior connection to Hulk lore, making this a major surprise of the Ultimate Universe. However, Al Ewing and Joe Bennett’s celebrated Immortal Hulk used the same adjective, perhaps inspiring this explosive new development.

The legendary Hulk became Marvel’s most despicable villain

She-Hulk’s origin reveals how corrupt Banner has become

While the ‘Legendary Hulk’ of the Ultimate Universe has been a major villain thus far, Ultimates #3 Taking his mushroom to the next level. The issue revealed that in his role as part of the Makers regime, Bruce Banner performed extensive gamma testing on innocent people, deliberately irradiating them and causing immensely painful mutations. While his experiments turned Lejori Zakaria into the ultimate She-Hulk, they extensively harmed the other inhabitants of her Pacific island home, including turning so many of the island’s plants and animals into deadly gamma mutants that the place was nicknamed ‘Monster Island’ by the Maker Council.

While all of the Maker’s Council needs to come down hard, the last few months of Ultimate’s story have seen the Hulk – in this world the leader of a religious order known as the Children of Eternal Light – become the face of evil in the Ultimate Universe . The maker will remain locked for over a year (with each Ultimates Comic Counting after a month to his return), making the Hulk the first real test of the team Tony Stark has given everything to pull together.

Ultimates vs Hulks is the perfect way to mark the Ultimate Universe’s anniversary

Hulk is not the big boss, but he is a huge threat

Marvel has confirmed that December Final Universe: One Year In will set the stage for the second year of Ultimate Storytelling. This will coincide with November Final #6 Unites the full Ultimates roster for the first time. The context makes Hulk a major test that awaits at the end of the Ultimates first year, revealing whether Tony’s work was useless. However, even though fans thought that the Ultimates would team up with the Hulk, it turns out that the challenge will be much bigger.

Merciless, cruel and without any sense of morality, these Hulk just tipped the scales in his favor by empowering Marvel’s greatest living warriors with gamma radiationAdding almost infinite strength to their incomparable levels of skill. Hopefully, the Ultimates have what it takes to match this deadly new kung-fu team HelloBecause if not, their revolution will fall at the first real obstacle.
