So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

I picked up the new BoP -- I'm really glad that's going to be bimonthly. It's going to kill my budget but I can't wait to read the next one.
And Ulitmate X Men 48, which I see is the third in a three part arc. I liked the comic, I'm going to get the previous two I guess. But I do have questions about what's going on in this title-is there some place I can find a run down on what's going and how this is different from, well, other X men titles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Look! It's wiki and comics -- that's a brief bit on Ultimate X-Men there.
Do you have specific questions?
I flipped through the Marvel guide to the Avengers -- T'Chaka is as badassed a fighter as Wolverine, and Captain America is better. I'm curious to know how the head-to-head reads.

I'm going to white font this to be on the safe side
Hank and Storm were dating? How did he die? Are the characters all supposed to be in their teens/early twenties? Also Roberto DeCosta--I can't remember his code name or what team he was on...him or Angelo -- were they Generation X? I can find stuff about Angelo/Skin but I can't remember Roberto's code name I'm kind of stuck .

If he doesn't already, Miracleman NEEDS to own all four collected volumes of Barry Ween, Boy Genius.
Just finished V4.
Meep.
Damn. Winick is good as a superhero writer, but as sole creative insane person? He's fucking incredible. The last panels in 4 were as gut-wrenching as anything I've ever read, and in addition, the potty-mouthed funny is simply to die for.

Hank and Storm were indeed dating. He died a couple issues ago, in a battle against a Sentinel. She took it badly, though I think they'd been broken up at the time (at his instigation -- he didn't feel he deserved a hottie like her). 'Berto was a New Mutant in the normal continuity -- rich kid from South America.
Everyone is pretty young -- I'm not sure what that does to Wolverine, who was always much older than all of them.

Okay that clears up somethings. Plus I was confusing Roberto with Rictor. Why I have no idea because they are totally different characters.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Askye-
I'm pretty sure Roberto is Sunspot (gets super strength and durability from absorbing sunlight).

Yes he is -- I'm sorry, I meant to type his name and forgot.
Who poked out Nick Fury's eye? Same person in the Ultimate universe?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I'm not actually a fan of Winick as a superhero writer, but this blog entry by someone who is much more of a Winick superhero non-fan than I am but who really liked Barry Ween makes me want to read it:
