Following a first look at writer/artist Peach Momoko's upcoming Ultimate X-Men relaunch in November 1's Ultimate Universe #1 one-shot, Marvel has now released the pages to the public along with a look at Momoko's designs for the new Ultimate version of X-Men mainstay Armor and Maystorm, a new hero first introduced on one of Marvel's recent 'New Champions' variant covers as a hypothetical protege for Storm.

We now know that Maystorm will be a member of the new class of Ultimate X-Men, though it remains to be seen how or if she'll be connected to a new Ultimate Storm in some way, shape, or form. Interestingly, Momoko's comments indicate that she didn't originally intend Maystorm to be part of the new Ultimate X-Men, but just a design for a variant cover.

"I was very surprised, excited, and happy that Marvel allowed me to introduce Maystorm in Ultimate X-Men,” Momoko says in an official statement. "She was made only for the New Champions variant cover program. I really liked her design and wanted to tell her story... but didn’t think I would get the opportunity this fast!"

Maystorm won't be the first character to become a full-fledged part of the Marvel Universe after initially appearing solely on a variant cover. One prominent example of another hero who made the jump is Gwenpool, who was initially envisioned as a mash-up of Deadpool and Gwen Stacy by artist Chris Bachalo, before being brought into the Marvel Universe as Gwen Poole, a woman from a reality much like the real world where the Marvel Universe only exists in fiction.

As for Armor, a young mutant with the ability to generate force armor around her body, she's been part of the X-Men since the mid-'00s when she was introduced by writer Joss Whedon and artist John
