From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe

The "Ultimate Virtueverse" is inspired by the Marvel 616 and Ultimate Marvel universes. In this universe, everything is changed in someway to fit the universe.

Synopsis

The "Ultimate Virtueverse" is similar to the Virtueverse with major differences. Everything that took place in Paragon, now takes place in New York City. And the Rogue Isles has been completely replaced by two synthetically created islands one of which is where the main base for Dyson Industries lies. The other island is inhabited by Arachnos. In this Universe, some people remain completely the same(i.e. Statesman, Citadel, Hamidon, Nemesis). Other people have minor differences from their Virtueverse counterparts(Positron, Synapse, Sister Psyche, The Circle of Thorns). But many people are completely different from their virtueverse counterparts(Lord Recluse and Arachnos).

This version of the Virtueverse is in most ways similar to the Virtueverse, but at the same time different. Arachnos is lead by a Ghost Widow. Dyson Industries is a much larger threat to the world owned by Stefan Richter IV. Lord Recluse is a large vampyr, similar to Dracula, leads a council of Vampyr who often sire the people of the United States... Or drain them completely of their blood.

Brief History

In a world where Technology, Mutataion, and Science all prevail, Many heroes fight to protect the major cities of the world. Many organizations pose a threat to the world. Two of these organizations stand out. A company known as Dyson Industries stood as a technology and pharmacudical giant for decades. Once lead by George Dyson in 1981, the company began to experience a small loss in revenue. This small loss became a huge deficit, causing Dyson to commit suicide. Eventually, Vice President Stefan Richter IV took on the role of company President. Under the leadership of Stefan Richter IV, Dyson Industries has become a force that the government cannot successfully bring to justice. The scientific and technological methods of Dyson Industries has lead to investigations, only to be thwarted by the fact that these investigations were founded on vague testimonies without solid evidence.

One faction, known as Arachnos, has inhabited the Island near the island location of Dyson Industries. They are lead by a mysterious woman known only as Ghost Widow. She and Richter are working together as allies towards the common goal of world domination. Arachnos soldiers, known as Spiders, attacked various major cities around the United States, most of the battles leading to stalemates. Eventually, the Rikti invasions hit all the nations of the world by storm. Heroes across the world fought valiantly to defend their world, and the number of casualties were high. Eventually, Earth had won and the Rikti were pushed back. Eventually, Dyson Industries invented a virus to kill off the Rikti. This successfully killed off the remaining Rikti that inhabited earth. Although the general public sees Dyson Industries as heroes, Freedom Corps knows that the company is in fact corrupt from the lowest of workers to the president.
