They were in a mansion in Ultimates 3. Simply saying Ultimates 3 right there explains all the confusion.

Yea but didn't she call them the avengers? Not the Ultimates?

Bendis doesn't read the other Ultimate comics.

And the editors suck.
 
Re: Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 2 (Discussion/Spoilers)

It's even funnier when you realize that Avengers Mansion hasn't been in use since Disassembled.
 
Re: Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 2 (Discussion/Spoilers)

It's not just Gwen. One of the policemen is complaining about a federal tax injection to The Avengers.

I kinda see what Bendis is doing. I think by Avengers, he means Fury's Black Ops team (while The Ultimates is now SHIELD's high-profile public team led by Danvers), and many of the old Ultimates left alive were on that team and lived in Stark's mansion for a while. But that only makes slightly more sense, because how the hell would GWEN know anything about a Black Ops team?

Or maybe there's a TV show called The Avengers about a mansion full of superheroes or something that they all watch and just haven't mentioned.
 
Re: Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 2 (Discussion/Spoilers)

Unless he's hinting at whats to come. Seeing as its set 6-5 months after the first Ultimate Comics: Avengers arc.
 
Re: Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 2 (Discussion/Spoilers)

Um...I haven't read the issue yet so I can't be sure of the specifics, but in terms of Gwen knowing about the Avengers, couldn't Peter have told her? I mean, they are dating, and he is Spider-Man, and has been privy not only to the inner workings of SHIELD and Fury through various run-ins with them. And there is that whole period of time where she was kept prisoner by SHIELD while she was Carnage. Its conceivable she found out through one of those sources. I don't see it as a huge continuity gaffe, at least at this point.

And -beardoms- could be right in terms of this hinting at whats to come (since it occurs 5-6 months after the first arc of Ultimate Avengers), though I think that might be giving Bendis too much credit in the continuity department.

It's not, really; it's an offhand comment by Gwen and a police officer. It's just a little weird to see the term Avengers used in these books, is all.
 
Re: Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 2 (Discussion/Spoilers)

Keep in mind that several months have gone by... And Peter is now dating Gwen and we last saw him dating MJ. I think the gap between volumes explains it.

Preview for Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #6 :

I think this issue is going to be great! And I can't help but believe that some of the things said by the characters are added by Bendis after he looks on his board, like the
mention by Peter that he doesn't understand how Aunt May will be able to support all those people!

Come to think of it...I guess Shroud could also be Kitty since the bullets didn't seem to hurt him/her when s/he got shot in issue one. Maybe she phased through them?

You called it.
 
Re: Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 2 (Discussion/Spoilers)

I like her shroud persona better than her other USM costume.
 
Re: Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 2 (Discussion/Spoilers)

Yea, it's just way too obvious. Too Bendis. Really, the UU has just gone from bad to worse since the Ultimatum Wave. You're telling me a huge disaster where they take away characters is supposed to be good for a Universe?
