I think it's pretty safe to say that Jarvis is a goner. Wanda and Pietro? maybe, maybe not.
personally, I dislike the whole notion of making the Ult. FF teenagers. the original versions, when they debuted were so different from the standard spandex books that they almost reinvented the genre. granted the followed the Challengers of the Unknown formula a bit (Kirby aping Kirby, heh), and have now become cliches themselves. but making the Ult. versions into teenagers is just being trendy and cliche again.
the only Ult. title that I've seen that's made any real attempt to reinvent the characters at all is Ultimates. and that will pretty much go out the window when Loeb takes over.

I'm ok with the UFF as teenagers, for the most part. If they keep it interesting, I'll be reading it.
But Reed is played as the uber-geek. I just do not see an uber-geek saying "honey" to anyone.

if he can manage to bag Sue, I could see him saying "honey" every now and then. if you can accept the first, the second should be no problem. . .

You're missing my point.
Reed has been established in UFF as an UBER geek.
Plus, you're 40, he's a teenager.

In the original Marvel U, Black Widow was villain, a spy, who later became a hero. It would almost make too much sense for Millar to make her a hero who was now a villain/spy. Which tends to me me think it might be a double fakeout and it IS her.

I don't see what being a geek or uber-geek has to do with it. "Honey" is just a form of affection for people in relationships, so why wouldn't Reed (or anyone, regardless of the age and level of geekiness) use it?
Oh, and Black Widow? Shit, poor Tony...

I grew up with and have known (and met in graduate school) a LOT of uber geeks.
Not one of them ever referred to his partner/lover as "honey" in my presence.
To this reader, uber-geek Reed calling Sue 'honey' sounded completely artificial and took me out of the story.

Maybe Sue trained him to call her "honey". Women do that shit, you know.

I went to a math and science HS - if ever there was a place for the uber-geek that was it - and teenagers, no matter how geeky, use affectionate words with/for each other.
We've just had different experiences, I s'pose.

I'll assume you've all read the "latest" issues of the Ultimates. If you haven't, screw you  Anyway, we see in the last issue that Giantman is apparently helping the "Anti-Ultimates" with his Vision and Ultron robots. I know, as do we all, that he was expelled from the Ultimates because of spousal abuse, and rightly so. But still, does anyone really believe that he sold out? It seems to me that he's playing the "Anti-Ultimates" for fools and waits for the opportune moment to kick them right in the scrotum. Thoughts?

I can remember reading an article about Avengers Disassembled where Bendis talked getting ready for the fallout when the Avenger from the "One of these Avengers will die!" ad died and I thought "I guess that means Hank Pym is safe".

There is too much angst in being the creator of Ultron to kill him off.
