Loeb wrote the Ultimate characters like regular marvel characters, Magneto used magnetism to melt the polar ice caps and killed most of the world's population, the human torch DROWNED, the Blob became a cannibal and ate The Wasp, and the Ultimate universe went from a more modern and darker take on Marvel superheroes to over the top awfultown. I think it was this run that really cemented Loeb as a writer that destroyed everything he touched.

Human Torch didn't drown. Blob, however, did eat Wasp which was one of the stupidest out of character things I've ever seen in comics. The story was really really weak overall, and did far more harm than it did good.

That said, just like with anything dealing with Ultimate Marvel, everything Spider-Man related was gold. Plus, without Ultimatum, Iceman and Human Torch would have never moved into Aunt May's house.
