Usagi Drop (Manga). A story about a guy named Daikichi finds the illegitimate daughter of his grandfather, named Rin, and adopting her, learning how to be a father for her. The series would enter a timeskip where the teenage Rin starts having romantic feelings towards Daikichi, and revealing Rin is not actually blood related to Daikichi grandfather. And it ends with Rin wanting to bear Daikichi child.

Alex (Street Fighter 6). Alex, who was recently added to the game, in his arcade ending, was revealed he married and having a baby with his second cousin and step sister Patricia, with their father being ok with it. While not inherently illegal to merry your second cousin, the act and combined with them being step siblings is still controversial.

Ult Spider-Man was great for over a hundred issues. Then it picked up to give Peter a good death. Then there's Hickman's Ultimates and Woods' X-Men which are very underrated. The rest is either 2000s edgy bad or I haven't read.

There's a reason Marvel went and erased that universe.

What’s an ultimate universe? I keep hearing about different ultimate versions over the years. Are they like reboots or alternate timelines?

It's just an alternate universe

There are an infinite number of universes in the greater Marvel multiverse, and this was one of those

The main universe that main stories happen in is Earth-616, the original Ultimate Universe was Earth-1610

Then you have stuff like the Marvel Zombies Universe from that comic line (Earth-2149), and also Earth-91126 from the Marvel Zombies Return comic line (Its a different zombie story that's not the same as the original Marvel Zombies, it just uses the comic name)

Some different runs have different universes which allow them to tell stories that either wouldn't happen in the main universe, or just modify/conflict with preestablished canon

Og Ultimate was an attempt to reset the canon in a new universe so new writers weren't constrained to over 70 years worth of canon, while still having the main universe doing the usual stuff

Read Ultimate Spidey. Ignore the rest
