Is there a "secret" Fantastic Four? (ULTIMATES #10 SPOILERS)

[Number_5]

Perhaps her other laundry is a splode?

This would actually have been a great followup to Ultimates 3:

"Who Asploded The Invisible Woman's Laundry?"

Get Loeb on it!

I think it's best to just assume that there has been a Fantastic Four (of sorts) since the Doomsday Trilogy. At the very least we have Ben and Sue in the Baxter Building. They are scientists/adventurers/explorers, rather than a task force, so it stands to reason (especially with the Baxter Building still destroyed) that they haven't done too much adventuring/fighting since then. What I like about the Ultimate Universe is that even though there may not be an OFFICIAL Fantastic Four team in the traditional sense, the characters are still around and at least some of them are still working together. Perhaps this is why they do not have their own book, because the title would be misleading. They are still around, but there may not be 4 of them and they may not do the same adventuring that they used to, but obviously they are still battle-ready if need be. It's sort of like the X-Men, they are still around but there is no official X-Men team (at least not in the first 12 issues, anyway) but they just have more characters to actually support a book about them/all mutants.

I suspect that even if we don't get an FF book, that Ben and Sue (and anyone else that may or may not be working with them) will be making appearances across the UU from time to time and may even star in a mini down the road when/if mini's become popular again.

As to why she is sporting the 4 emblem on her chest? It's just part of the suit. There's no reason to remove it and no reason to change it, especially if they aren't an official team. They didn't bother changing it when it was just the three of them going up against Reed, so why change it now? I guess it would have been preferable to just remove it altogether and keep the uniform without the emblem, but I say meh. At the very least it was a nice plug to the former UU.

It's probably just artist error. I'm hoping the FF are back with Nova and Mahr Vehl though.

[Wellman]

The only way I would be happy with a revived Ultimate FF, is if Ultimate Ben Grimm wasn't on it and there was a possibility for Ultimate Doom to be in it as well.

Other then that, only Sue kills Reed, she is deader to me then Ultimate Hank Pym.

[Robbie_Jee]

I just want to read something with Mahr-Vehl in it. If he's in, so am I.

[Agemoi]

I imagine there is a team but we just havent seen them yet. After the Ultimate Doom trilogy i was really looking forward to a new book since it seemed to have the makings of a great team.

Maybe the end of this year? We'll see.

Actually, Reed was the one who was always dorking around with the multiverse/negative zone/spacetime continuum and getting them into trouble. Without him, Sue probably just spends her days testing pharmaceuticals on rhesus monkeys and Ben is most likely playing stickball on Yancey Street when he isn't bending Sue over Reed's old desk while swinging his labcoat overhead.

Now let's go with the CAR-RAZY idea there will be a new F4 book for the ultimate universe, perhaps Kieron Gillen will be the writer?
The editor of Ultimate Comics (also edits HULK, DEFENDERS, IRON MAN among others), tweeted this the other day
"read a script the other day by @kierongillen and it was exciting, exhilarating and extreme! Wasn't X-Men, though. You'll have to guess."

Or she's been doing something else like marrying Ben, having a honeymoon etc. I expect it hasn't been any longer than three months realtime since Doomsday.

Oh, dang - that'd be awesome!

[wyokid]

Kieron Gillen? The guy who wrote that terrible World War Hulks: Spider-Man vs Thor tie-in? Ugh. No thanks.

This is off topic but:
I just started picking up Ultimate Marvel again and I went yesterday to get as many back issues of the new series as I could find and I was looking at release dates. Is Ultimate Comics a bi-monthly series? Seems like the books come out twice a month.

Officially it's a monthly series, but sometimes it's shipped twice a month just like the other Ultimate titles.

[Codah]

Bendis responded saying he'd like to read it too if it was what he thought it was. Another contrived connection to the UU? That'd be so awesome if another mini was on the horizon.

[Jack Hart]

How badass would it be if Sue made a FF suit for Rick to help him have more control over his Nova powers? Kind of a mix of FF and Nova suits. And Captain Marvel made him a helmet for space travel.
