Volume 8 of The Adventures of Jungle Jim! The pulp era was full of jungle heroes. Jungle Jim is one of the unique ones. He wasn't a loincloth-clad wild man, but rather Jim Bradley, a resourceful hunter. This gave him a distinctive difference from your run-of-the-mill jungle man. Also, his stomping grounds were located in exotic southeastern Asia. Described as a "gentleman adventurer, a true friend of all good men and relentless enemy of all bad ones, no matter what their race or creed may be," Jim was joined by his faithful aide, Kolu, a powerful Hindu giant.

The alien shapeshifters called the Chitauri were defeated by the Ultimates in a decisive battle, but suspicious activity leads the Ultimates to believe that not all of the aliens were destroyed in that cataclysmic attack. Stark Industries has developed means of quickly and easily detecting Chitauri DNA, but the federal government refuses to adopt the technology, claiming that if the tech is widely available, the Chitauri will find a way to fool it.

The Ultimates-the first government-sponsored cadre of Super Heroes-was assembled to face threats to humanity too insanely powerful for other operatives to handle. Led by a general who gave an eye in the service of his country, the super-powered roster includes a billionaire playboy in a high-tech suit of armor, a World War II super-soldier whom fate has thrust into the twenty-first century, an environmentalist icon who claims to be an ancient Norse god, and a scientist whose mutant powers allow her to shrink to the stature of an insect.
