Synopsis

Ultimate MvC3 Art

"

Doctor Doom was recently working on a way to conquer the world...when suddenly, he reached a contact with Albert Wesker from a different universe. The two came to an alliance with many major villains from each universe to merge the two universes together and conquer them.

One week later, Wolverine had just defeated his arch foe, Sabretooth, in Doom's universe; while Ryu had finished training with his best friend, Ken, in Wesker's universe. All of a sudden, they both felt an earthquake in their respective universes and came across each other in a surprise. Discovering their universes were merging, and believing each other to be the cause of this catastrophe, they fought other. Soon, Wolverine is aided by three other Heroes and anti-Heroes from his dimension: Iron Man, Hulk, and Deadpool; while Ryu is aided by three fighters from his universe: Morrigan, Chris, and Dante. Suddenly, Doom and Wesker reveal themselves and reveal their intentions to the heroes and fighters. To stop this threat, Wolverine, Ryu, and many others from their universes fight against the villains in a tournament to determine the fate of two worlds. If the villains won, the two universes would be merged and conquered. If the Heroes and Anti-Heroes won, both universes would again remain seperate.

But little do the fighters know that these actions could awaken a threat that could destroy both universes..."

Jameson demands better photos of Spider-Man or he will hire a better photographer.

Albert Wesker

Ryu

For years, she proved herself a notable assassin, though a series of tragedies eventually led her to Wolverine and the X-Men, with whom she now seeks to turn her life around.
