They've been through a lot. In Avengers, they all get some kip. In their own, very individual ways. Tech, sex, alcohol and webbing…

And MacGyver is as predictable as ever. "We've captured MacGyver!" "Quick, lock him in the janitor's closet!" "Kaboom!" Okay, not exactly that. But close. Twelve Thoughts About Twelve Comics

Oh look, Kitty Pryde is starting her own country in Ultimate X-Men, Why do I think there may be many non-mutant volunteers suddenly rushing to join?
