So this story starts with Secret Wars Issue 4. This is the issue in which the Life Raft (the one with the good guys in it) and the Cabal (the one with the bad guys in it) confront Dr. Doom. When this happened I saw the Maker (Ultimate Reed Richards) for this first time and was very confused. Why does he have this thing on his head? Why was he on the ship with the villains and not the heroes? WHY DOES HE HAVE THE THING ON HIS HEAD?
So this lead to part two of my search. I have a subscription to Marvel Comics Digital Unlimited and have access to every issue of the Ultimate Universe. So I started by looking through the entire Ultimate Fantastic Four run (2003-2009) with no luck. Not a single issue had the Maker on the cover and spot checking a few they all had the normal version of Reed Richards. No problem I think, there are a half dozen other Ultimate Fantastic Four Series, surely it is in one of those. I check Ultimate FF, Ultimate Fantastic Four / X-Men, Ultimate Fantastic Four MGC, and Ultimate Comics Doom. No such luck. At least a quick search through the covers all have the normal version of Reed Richards.
What the fuck! Issue one already has Reed Richards as the maker. This had to have taken place before Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates started. I go back to Wikipedia and look up Ultimate Comics Ultimates and have breakthrough number 2. Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates is the result of the events of Ultimate Comics Doomsday. Ah Ha I proclaim! I go back to Marvel Unlimited and open up Ultimate Comics Doom and immediately notice something is wrong. Issue 1 is in the middle of an action sequence and there is clearly something going on before this issue. I go back to Wikipedia and learn that Ultimate Comics Doomsday is actually the combination of the following Ultimate Enemy, Ultimate Mystery, and Ultimate Doom, each of which is 4 issues long. So I need to read these 12 issues before I can start the 30 issues of Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates which will explain to me how Reed Richards became the Maker.
Evil Reed Richards! Utopian Society! Super advanced society from kind of the future! Tony Stark with a sentient brain tumor that has super powers. Guys this comic has it all and you absolutely have to check it out.

Before he became the Maker, the Ultimate Universe's Reed Richards seemed destined for greatness. When he debuted in ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR (2003) #1 by Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Millar, Adam Kubert, and Danny Miki, Reed was a young, socially awkward super-genius who built a school science fair project that teleported a toy car into a desolate dimension called the N-Zone.
Reed was recruited by the Baxter Building, where he worked alongside other young prodigies like siblings Sue and Johnny Storm. After several years at the Baxter Building, Reed, his best friend Ben Grimm, and the Storm siblings received powers when an experiment to send biological matter into the N-Zone went awry, thanks to the tampering of their fellow prodigy Victor Van Damme.
When Reed faced his old teammates in battle, he tortured Sue, and the Human Torch subsequently attacked Reed and permanently scarred his face with his hottest flame in ULTIMATE COMICS DOOM (2010) #4 by Bendis, Sandoval, Bonet, and Jordi Tarragona Garcia.
After a brief exile in the Negative Zone, Reed emerged as the Maker in ULTIMATE FALLOUT (2011) #4 by Jonathan Hickman, Brian Michael Bendis, Nick Spencer, Sara Pichelli, Salvador Larroca, and Clayton Crain. As the Maker, Reed began using his elastic powers to occasionally expand his brain, leading him to wearing a helmet that matched the shape of his elongated cranium.
While assessing potential threats for Nick Fury, the Maker realized that alternate universes were colliding with each other and creating incursions in AVENGERS (2012) #41 by Jonathan Hickman and Mike Deodato. After personally destroying dozens of universes to protect the Ultimate Universe, the Maker joined the Cabal, a group of Marvel Universe world-destroyers including Thanos and Namor. While working on a plan to survive the incursions, the Maker convinced Fury to attack the Marvel Universe as it collided with the Ultimate Universe in AVENGERS (2012) #44 by Hickman, Stefano Caselli, and Kev Walker.
Following SECRET WARS, the Maker fought the Sunspot-led incarnation of the New Avengers in the Marvel Universe as he tried to combine the worlds of the Multiverse once again. After working with the High Evolutionary, he successfully brought down the walls of the Multiverse in a misguided attempt to help the cosmic being Eternity in ULTIMATES 2 (2016) #9 by Al Ewing and Travel Foreman.
When the Maker reemerged in the Marvel Universe, he focused on Project: Oversight, his mission to return to the Ultimate Universe, restore it, and potentially overwrite the Marvel Universe with it. With the approval of a group of Multiversal Mister Fantastic variants known as the Interdimensional Council of Reeds, the Maker realized that symbiotes could be the key to surviving the trip between dimensions. After studying Venom, Eddie Brock, and Dylan Brock, Reed recovered a sample of the Ultimate Universe Venom in VENOM (2018) #20 by Donny Cates, Iban Coello, and Jos Carlos Silva.
To his delighted surprise, Reed landed in the Ultimate Universe, where New York had been partially destroyed and the Ultimates were missing. Following that, Eddie Brock approached the Avengers, the X-Men, and the other heroes of the Marvel Universe and warned them about the Maker and his plans.
And in ULTIMATE INVASION (2023) #1, the Maker has taken his plans for the Ultimate Universe to the next level. Although he had been captured, he escaped custody and targeted the Illuminati by stealing technology from each member of the group to build his next portal.
By the time the Marvel Universe's Mister Fantastic and the other Illuminati members found him, the Maker was already stepping into the Ultimate Universe and manipulating it to suit his whims. Now, the Maker is more dangerous than ever, with an entire universe trapped in his elastic grasp.
