You know...looking at that list, I can't really see anyone who really jumps out and screams me! me! me! - at least not in the context of the sainted Mr. Millar's vision of the Ultimates.
Black Panther might make sense to show up every so often, though perhaps as something other than the prince of some makey-uppey African culture. Though...perhaps. Imagine a guy who was the child of an upper class Tutsi family in Rwanda or Uganda. His family was massacred in war; he now lives in poverty in New York. But there is some strange power in his family line...and Fury finds out, and finds him. That might work.
No one else really appeals...
(Though maybe one or two could find themselves in the UK Ultimates or something... Black Knight reimagined in the same way as Hawkeye was in the Ultimates...dunno).
EXCEPT...
Dr. Druid
Hellcat
et al
An Ultimate Universe blood n' guts horror series written by Warren Ellis (considering the genius he unleashed on these characters in the old Hellstorm universe).
I know many of you don't want magic in the Ultimates universe; I am rather fond of it, but I think you could come up with something cool without importing over the huge 616 "marvel cosmology" (which can get pretty daft at times).
Imagine all these characters are mutants and their powers make evil human fantasies come to life - The sleep of reason creates monsters. Perhaps the Hellstorm family has always believed that they are magicians capable of opening the way to hell: they aren't; they are reaching into people's vile little ugly unconscious secrets and those powers leak out.
You could all sorts of fun with that.
