This Heroic Age better be stable, because we have just seen the deterioration of the MU through Norman Osborns Dark Reign, to a point I can't follow what's going on right now. For instance, whose in charge, because I can't see the premier fighting team of the MU around because thay've been pawned so often in the last 3 months?

The FF were pawned by HAMMER who cut their power, then pawned by Pym, who sent them in all directions, pawned by Doctor Doom in X-Factor still playing out; pawned by the Intelligencia in FOTH.

Now look at the chaos going on:
The FOTH has roped in a good swath of the MU.
Siege has everybody but the FF because they are pawned by the FOTH
DoomWar is heading for a full blown battle with DOOM
Followed by the World War of Hulks.

I hope somewhere in all that, this doesn't become a confused mess. I am hankering for the Tony Stark Initiative days, when the villains hid in corners, and the heroes, though disenchanted, were keeping the Universe stable.

Currently, I cannot keep track of all the chaos the villains are causing in the MU. It's a mess. It's like no-rules Marvel.

And where's Steve Rogers? No mention of him on an Avengers team. I hope he's on the Avengers somewhere, after all this buildup, and he doesn't disappear into a large organization like the replacement of HAMMER.
