History

The Children of Tomorrow

In Northern Germany, the Maker decided to settle in the location and placed the Dome due to the space and natural resources. ((Ultimate Comics Ultimates v1 #1) After becoming self-aware, the City declared that they needed to grow and move beyond the location of the Dome with this being heeded by Tomorrow's Children. (Ultimate Comics Ultimates v1 #2)

Overview

They were also referred to by their creator as Tomorrow's Children. Whilst seemingly human, they were able to evolve and adapt to events. This included instantly growing new eyes in order to perceive something that they could not normally see. (Ultimate Comics Ultimates v1 #2)

There were multiple rankings within the hierarchy of the Children of Tomorrow:

• Builders : (Ultimate Comics Ultimates v1 #2)
• Thinkers : (Ultimate Comics Ultimates v1 #2)
• Dyanmo : (Ultimate Comics Ultimates v1 #2)

All members of the Children for a particular purpose. (Ultimate Comics Ultimates v1 #2)

Leadership of their kind was maintained by the First Council. They came to had founded the School that was the foundation of their ideology known as the perfect mind. (Ultimate Comics Ultimates v1 #2)

Eventually, their kind shifted from the use of names and instead embodied roles required by their society. (Ultimate Comics Ultimates v1 #2)

From their genetic stock, they manufactured their offspring with any abominations being destroyed. (Ultimate Comics Ultimates v1 #2)

Within the Dome, time increased in relation to the world outside allowing them to build things inside over the course of centuries. This allowed them to build self-repairing architecture that became the foundation of the City. Energy requirements were provided by specifically engineered member of the Children who served as living Dynamos.

Notes

• The Children of Tomorrow were created by Jonathan Hickman and Salvador Larroca where they made their first appearance in Ultimate Comics Fallout v1 #4 (October, 2011).
• In an interview, Hickman commented that, "The Children in general are a good Ultimatization of what was a really great Mike Carey idea, The Children of the Vault, introduced in his 'Super Novas' arc of 'X-Men.' I think he, and they, make for a different kind of villain than what we've seen, in that Reed and his followers are essentially, completely, utterly and totally correct. They do not see these as evil decisions. They just happen to be bad for the apes that are left on the planet. They're centuries more advanced than every one else. Just look how far the human race has come in the last 20 years compared to the 60 before, then to the 100 before that. And, in parallel with that, you can see that we're rapidly evolving culturally, as well, even though it doesn't feel like it some days. Reed and the Children represent that to a ridiculous degree, and it's just a whole lot of fun."
