During the "Ultimate Invasion" storyline, Maker traveled to Earth-6160 and remade it into his own image. While having ruled K'un-L'un and the rest of Heaven's seven capital cities, Hulk and the Children of the Eternal Light are served by the Immortal Weapons which consist of Bride of Nine World-Breakers, Crane Mother of the Bomb, Decay's Beautiful Daughter, Fat Cobra, Prince of Meltdowns, and Uranium Brother #235 who all make use of their gamma injections. The Immortal Weapons assist Hulk in fighting the Ultimates when Hulk had them transported to K'un-L'un before they can enter a Damage Control facility containing a dozen super-powered prisoners. During the fight, Fat Cobra swallows a smaller Wasp only for her to grow enough to kill him. After Hulk used his Gigatron Vice Grip on Iron Lad enough to apparently kill him, Doom finally locates the Ultimates and extracts them from K'un-L'un before things get worse.Ultimates Vol. 4 #6.

Four of the Immortal Weapons are sent to Monster Island to deal with the megafauna while A.I.M. holds the locals back at gunpoint. This is watched from a far by Iron Lad and She-Hulk.Ultimates Vol. 4 #13. Marvel Comics.
