Lol, aw man, say what you will about B.M. Bendis, but a few days ago, he was being harshly criticized here, and now another group is praising his work.
The man is, by far, one of the most polarizing of Marvel's writers in recent history.

Personally, I was bored by his New Avengers stuff, but, then again, I've never really cared for Avengers comics anyways.
I thought his Ultimate Spidey was a really fun read, even though he was basically recycling stories, characters, and concepts with that trademark "Ultimate" twist.
I even enjoyed Miles Morales initially, but eventually I just got burnt out on all things Spidey, after a while.

If Bendis excels at anything it's writing soap opera-ish dialogue as well as quirky and humorous teen dialogue. It always reminded me of a watered-down immitation of the "Whedon-esque" dialogue from Buffy.

Maybe if the fans finally chase Bendis away from Marvel, he could easily transition from comic writer to a writer for DeGrassi or for the CW


EDIT :
To add to the Ultimate list that DarkToyLord was asking about, there was also Ultimate Rhino, Lizard, and Doc Ock from the Spider-Man Classics line from Toy Biz.
And, there were plenty of 616 figures that could pass as Ultimate figures, like Kingpin from the Face-Off set.

Also, the Fantastic Four figures from the '06 F4 Classics line were largely Ultimate-inspired.
Ben from Wave 1 and Johnny & Sue from wave 2 resembled the Ultimate versions, and Wave 1 Johnny (because he was in flaming form) could pass as 616 or Ultimate.

Reed was a little trickier, since he was more of a 616 and Ultimate mash-up. He had the headsculpt and gray hair of 616 Reed, but was wearing his Ultimate uniform, BUT he was ALSO wearing the vest that he wore in the Waid & Wieringo F4 run .
And, he came with the guns he used in the Waid/Wieringo run. So yeah, kinda a crazy mash-up !
