Tomorrow Men

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tomorrow Men is a novel authored by Michael Jan Friedman, and set between Volumes 1 & 2 of the Ultimates comic book series.

Deals with the confrontation between Nick Fury and the Ultimates, and the self-styled "Tomorrow Men", who claim to have travelled two centuries back in time to seek the help of the Ultimates in combating Tiber, a criminal organization which, in their future, has ruined the entire planet. However, during a mission Iron Man is accidentally transferred into the Tomorrow Men's future, where he learns that not only is it merely an alternate future- it actually diverged from their own reality at some point prior to the Tomorrow Men's arrival in the Ultimates' world- but that the Tomorrow Men are actually working for Tiber, seeking to expand into other worlds. Taking advantage of the differences between the technology developed by him and that developed by his counterpart at this point in his life, Iron Man is able to take the Tibers by surprise and return home, warning the team about the Tomorrow Men and forcing them to retreat.
