It is my understanding that the Rebirth and New 52 versions "joined" into one new Superman. It was the one that was presented in Lois/Clark and was the Pre-Flashpoint/Convergence SM and the New 52 one .... essentially the one that "died" was really just like a half of Superman, or something.
I could be way the hell of here as I don't read, but rather, keep up with the books.

Looking at my comicrack list, these singular character runs they have going on...
X23, Peter Parker, America Chavez, Ben Reilly, Black Bolt, Black Panther, Cable, Sam Wilson, Steve Rogers, Daredevil, Deadpool, Dr. Strange, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), She-Hulk, Cho-Hulk, Iceman, Iron Fist, Dr. Doom, Jean Grey, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Cap. Marvel, She-Thor, He-Thor, Ms. Marvel, Nick Fury, Old Man Logan, Punisher, Rocket, Riri Williams (Ironheart), Spider-Gwen, Spider-Miles, Spidey, Thanos, Wasp and Venom
Those are just runs built around a specific character, mind. That's not even mentioning all the things built around teams like Avengers, Inhumans, Ultimes, X-Men, and all the other ones.If there's one thing DC does better than Marvel, it's not drowning the fanbase in a bajillion different comic books, and building their brand around a core of characters instead.
See ... I'd rather there be MORE availability of the characters/universe. In DC 51 books hit the shelves (rough count of DC brand not Vertigo/Young Animal) and 20 of them directly feature one or more of the Trinity OR are extensions of the Super/Bats galleries/characters. Another 2 (the Injustice books) do as well even if it's alternate characterization. They've got another 6 limited series that follow suite with this mold.
Since I was a kid the biggest issue I've had with DC is that they've essentially 1980's WWF'd their universe. You've got Hogan (Supes), Savage (Batman), and your Warrior/Steamboat/Piper insert other hot name here (Wonder Woman) ... and damn near everything revolves around them as though they're the end all be all. So many characters get lost or minimized because of the established norm and refusal to get away from it. Part of what makes Marvel so expansive and fantastic is the depth and the layers the universe has. Wolverine is as popular a character as you get outside of the holy 5 or so in comic book history. There are literally DOZENS of characters that could wipe the floor with him but nobody gives a crap. Outside of Batman on occasion, the DC Trinity never jobs in a meaningful fashion. However, it's actually his getting his asked kicked that has helped make Wolverine the popular character he is. I mean hell, the ANTI-MONITOR SHOULD be a bad ass no bullshit THANOS level-ish character ... but he's not, and never will be because "superman" is all you have to say. That doesn't fly in the Marvel universe. Just look at the Villains for Spider-Man, FF, Cap, and even a team like the XMen. Batman and Flash have good rogues galleries but really that's it.
Meh.

Ole Miss will likely go back to what they were a decade - 15yrs ago ... 5-7 but kick the dog shit out of a top team and upset someone else while getting drubbed by Vandy and whatever team finishes last in the East.

I just love how Mayweather (and everyone else) is all on the "racist" bit when Mayweather himself had a racist laden rant on Manny Pacquiao.

I enjoyed most of the Ultimate line for what it was, but it was a great idea that was littered with mistakes because certain writers wanted to stay away from being considered too close to the 616 universe.
It isn't an ultimate title, but if you like alternate universe stuff, Mutant X was a fuck ton of fun to read. Maybe it's just that the X-Factor run starting with Havok taking over the team is one of my favorite runs, but when they sent Havok to the alternate universe where he leads a team of villains was really cool. I definitely recommend reading Mutant X. Hell, if you enjoy the characters, I'd say read X-Factor as well. Everything after the original team went back to being X-Men, all the way up to the Mutant X books are worth reading.
Oh, I'm a HUGE Havok and X-Factor fan. Absolutely LOVED just about the entire run of X-Factor. I'll check out Mutant X when I get a shot ... looks pretty sweet and I love a few of those characters so it might be just what I'm after.
Though in a quick search I'm not finding a Trade ... are there any?

What are the best "ULTIMATE" marvel books? I just read the Ultimate Extinction as it was 5$ for all three books at my LCS on sale. Wasn't horrible, just anticlimactic as the build was pretty good and then just .... yeah, thanks for playing.
I'm usually into alternate/other-verse stuff because seeing different takes on things are a nice fresh read. Loved the Universe X stuff but haven't actually read any Ultimate stuff outside of the Extinction ones I just got done with. I never got into it because way back when I did try I read the X-Men Ultimate stuff and it was uh ... BAD.

I've got a soft spot for the "newsprint" comic days. Just something about them.
Eh, I think Marvel had a combination of trying too hard, poor finishing, and fanboy reaction going overboard when Marvel actually attempted what the fanboy said they wanted: The entire thing with the Inhumans, IMO, was a great IDEA ... Yes, I know the whole pushing "X" over to the side has nothing to do with the comics, BUT I felt they'd found a nice way to do it in the books. The very "X" like Inhumans were a ready made thing to step into that light. I actually thought the whole Terrigen wipes mutants out etc was pretty solid. But fanboy shit all over it. The concept was never given a chance. Too bad.
I liked the PREMISE of the Standoff deal with the "good guys" acting like "bad guys" in what they were doing to the incarcerated villains. It was just done in a piss poor fashion.
CW2 just didn't do anything for me at all. So they screamed really loudly about the eternal question over using powers ... yawn.
Marvel attempts a true shake up with Cap ... immediately shit on. There are characters being redone and changed all over the place for what, 5 years now but GOD NO THIS WITH CAP IS TOO DAMN FAR AND A BUNCHAFUCKINBULLSHIT!!!!! Get out. Again, I loved the idea of it, but it was poorly done.
At the very least Marvel has TRIED to implement change in ways other than simply REBOOT/REDUX/ETC ... which I won't fault them for. Actual effort has been a long time coming from them and I won't poo poo them for giving it.
.... should all be reading VAULT's line of comics anyway
