Millar + Leinil Yu + Pacheco = Ultimate Avengers

- Some big stuff happens in Ultimatum that affects Tony Stark, which will be touched upon.

- The main characters in the first arc will be Cap, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, a new Black Widow and also Iron Man II.

- Iron Man II is a.k.a. Gregory Stark...Tony's blond-haired, teetotaling, older and smarter brother. Nick Fury loves him as he doesn't have Tony's morals and has no problem with crafting weapons for the military. He and Tony had a 10-year gentlemen's agreement to live in opposite hemispheres, but time is now up and he's moving in to take over. His tech is unlike anything the world has ever seen and outclasses anything that Tony's ever given S.H.I.E.L.D. and there's a big secret behind that too. In a later arc we'll find out who's been supplying him, which is a big deal. There's more to him than meets the eye.

- Iron Man himself will be broadly similar to what Jeph Loeb's done in Ultimates 3, for consistency.

- The second storyline will give you Hawkeye's origin. He was once a death-row prisoner, a murderer who was taken in by S.H.I.E.L.D. due to his amazing abilities, given a fake past and straightened out to the point where he even was able to marry and have kids. Hawkeye's big origin will also tie into the Punisher as S.H.I.E.L.D. is trying to do the same with him. He will also be helping Cap uncover the mystery behind Cap's illigitimate son, which puts him at odds with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the others who tried to cover it up.

- Carol Danvers will continue to be in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Nick Fury will take charge of his old Black-Ops Unit (from Ultimates Vol.1).

- The new Black Widow is Nick Fury's ex-wife, Monica Chang, and according to Millar she's a bitch! She comes onto the team to make life difficult for Nick and is spying on Nick on behalf of Carol Danvers. This spunky, 4' 10" asian girl is fully capable of busting Fury's balls. She also doesn't give a sh-- that she carries the name of someone who betrayed them and murdered Hawkeye's family.

- The Red Skull is the super-powered illegitimate son of Captain America! Cap finds, to his horror, that he's an international terrorist. The details behind his origin will be secret until issue #2.
