** [[spoiler:The Grandmaster's team is entirely killed off (with the exception of the Sentry) and several of the alternate universe Dark Avengers and Thunderbolts die, but the Collector's team - who all hail from Earth-616 - all survive, including those who were dead to begin with (Ares, Stick and Night Thrasher).



* FiveManBand: The Collector's team of heroes from Earth-616 end up as this:
** TheLeader: White Fox, the one who pushes [[ComicBook/TheUltimates2015 the Ultimates]] into intervening and who ends up calling most of the shots.
** TheLancer: Guillotine, who acts as White Fox's right hand fighter.
** TheBigGuy: Ares, the strongest member of the team.
** TheSmartGuy: Stick, who [[spoiler:allies with the Sentry and successfully fools the Maestro.]]
** TheChick: Outlaw, who acts as TheHeart of the team, [[spoiler:as well as TheHero.]]
** SixthRanger: Night Thrasher; though he's not the last to join the team, he's the last to be introduced, and [[spoiler:the first to leave the team permanently]].



** The alternate Earth in issue 9 seems to have not undergone the Skrull Invasion, or Dark Reign, or Siege, or if it did it happened very differently, given Tony Stark is still a figure of authority, and the Registration Act is still in full force. Also, Bill Foster is still alive.
